Two Unpublished Pot Marks of Dynasty 3 from the Necropolis of Beit Khallaf (Abydos, Egypt)

This article introduces two previously unknown pot marks on ceramics from the Third Dynasty (ca. 2686–2613 BCE) necropolis of Beit Khallaf (Abydos, Egypt). The analysis and publication of the funerary equipment of the five burials from this site is the main objective of a wider project that dealt more generally with the chronological problems of this period. The documentation of the funerary equipment of the tombs from Beit Khallaf, (mostly unpublished) focuses on a better understanding of the characteristics of grave goods of mastabas from the Early Dynastic period, and on the possibility that the main burial of the site, tomb K1, may be considered a royal tomb.
