Naga-ed-Dr Cemetery 100: Analysis of Cranial Material

Lori Harrington

Measurements of the cranial remains from Naga-ed-Dr Cemetery 100 were taken to determine whether all individuals buried at the site blonged to the same population (ethnic) group or if different populations co-existed at Naga-ed-Dr. From the data collected it became evident that only one population existed in this area. Additionally, the morphological traits of the sample made possible a reconstruction of the physical appearance of this Egyptian population who were buried at Naga-ed-Dr from the Old to the Middle Kingdom (2686-1750 B.C.).
