Summary/Abstract: ln the following article we will publish six predynastic objects ofpottery given to the Museum as a donation by Mihail C. Sutzu. Ali items are made ofNile clay and date back to the stages ofNaqada I-li. lt 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 11/111). The description and dating as well as a try of interpretation follows a short criticai summary of Petrie's seriation method developed at the beginning of the 19•h century. The second part will deal with the presentation of a funerary cone ofthe Highpriest of Am un, Mn-!Jpr-W-snb, dating back to the 18111 Dynasty.
