POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION AS REFLECTED BY BURIAL RITES OBSERVED IN THE PROTODYNASTIC PART OF THE CEMETERY IN TELL EL-FARKHA

Summary/Abstract: Graves associated with the Protodynastic period from Tell el-Farkha belonged to a wealthy community, members of which were buried as a rule in diversified structures with well arranged sets of offerings. Typical features of these graves enabled a classication into three categories reflecting social dierentiation. The distribution pattern of these burials describes the political and economic transformation within the Protodynastic community which inhabited the settlement of Tell el-Farkha and, in a broader sense, all of early Egyptian society at the origins of its history.
