The book presents issues relating to the oldest known examples of
human mortuary practices from the area of Northern Egypt and dating
to the end of the Early Dynastic period. The research surveys
changes in sepulchral architecture, offerings, body positioning and
other elements of generally understood burial customs. Space is
also found for discussions on social stratification, political
development of the early Egyptian state and the Lower Egyptian
cultural legacy, which contributed to the rich Egyptian
civilization. The story focuses on recent archaeological fieldworks
with a special stress on the revealing necropolis of Tell
el-Farkha.
