section::::first excavation.









































during quibell's first excavation, most of the work was done in the cemetery east of the town. there quibell found many buried skeletons, all with their heads pointing towards the north, and none of them mummified. this being the earliest cemetery at the site, pots, bead, paint slabs and mirrors were found in these burials, but no papyrus or text were found anywhere.
