Köhler, E. Christiana: Helwan V

Excavations in Operation 4, Tombs 101-150. With contributions by Adel Moustafa A. Ali, Herbert Böhm, Friederike Junge, Nora Kuch and Christine Marshall. This is the fifth volume in the comprehensive publication series of research results from the archaeological excavations in the ancient Egyptian necropolis at Helwan. With over 10,000 graves, this cemetery is the largest of its time; it can be associated with Egypts first capital, the city of Memphis and its direct environment. This volume continues the presentation of primary archaeological data from tombs in an area designated Operation 4, which were excavated between 1998 and 2011 under the direction of the main author. The volume follows the nomenclature of graves as established in volumes III and IV of the series and introduces tombs 4/101 to 4/150, which date to the Early Dynastic and early Old Kingdom periods. There are brief chapters by different authors on the main categories of finds, that is the tomb structures, human remains, pottery, non-ceramic artefacts as well as archaeozoological and botanical materials. The main part of this publication is taken up by the catalogue of tombs where the archaeological context of the individual graves and burials together with their artefacts are briefly described and documented in the form of line drawings and photographs.
