Excavations of the site of Tell el-Murra in the northeastern part of the Nile Delta in 2012
and 2013, following up on surveys in 2008 and in 2010–2011, uncovered settlement structures
from the Old Kingdom in the northeastern part of the site (trench T5). Excavations in the adjacent
cemetery (trench S3) cleared more graves, which were dated to the Early Dynastic period based on
pottery and stone vessel evidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
