Beginning in 1901, George A. Reisner conducted a number of
excavating campaigns in the neighbourhood of the modern village of
Naga ed-Der in Upper Egypt, opposite the ancient city of Thinis, at
first for the Hearst Expedition of the University of California (up
to 1905) and thereafter for the Harvard University-Boston Museum of
Fine Arts Expedition. Naga ed-Der is important because of a series
of ancient cemeteries extending in time from the Predynastic period
to the Middle Kingdom. These cemeteries run for about six
kilometres from Sheikh Farag on the north to Mesheikh on the south
and form parts of a single large cemetery of the Thinite nome UE 8.
In the course of the excavations at Naga ed-Der, Reisner discovered
in addition extensive remains of the First Intermediate
period-decorated tombs, steles, and inscribed coffins-belonging to
the period extending from the end of the Sixth to the Eleventh
Dynasties. The Predynastic, Early Dynastic, and Old Kingdom
material from Naga ed-Der has been studied and published by Reisner
and Arthur C. Mace and by Albert M. Lythgoe and Dows Dunham. Dows
Dunham published seventy-five steles from Reisner's excavations in
1937. This volume endeavours to date the material found by Reisner,
including the inscribed stones published by Dunham, with a view to
elucidating the history of the site in the period between the Old
and Middle Kingdoms. Furthermore, a number of steles seen on the
art market or in museums or private collections which, by their
style, belong clearly to Naga ed-Der, have been added as
supplementary material.
