Authors: Robert Kuhn

Abstract:

In the following article we will publish six pre dynastic objects of pottery given to the Museum as a donation by Mihail C. Sutzu. Ali items are made of Nile clay and date back to the stages of Naqada I-II. It looks like as they could all belong to the same tomb inventory. Just one pot, belonging to Petrie’s P-Ware is a bit younger in date (Naqada II/III). The description and dating as well as a try of interpretation follows a short critical summary of Petrie’s seriation method developed at the beginning of the 19th century. The second part will deal with the presentation of a funerary cone of the Highpriest of Amun, Mn-Hpr-Re-snb, dating back to the 18th Dynasty.
