Excavations conducted at the Tell el-Farkha cemetery between the 2001 and 2008 archaeological seasons revealed graves with pottery vessels which were assigned to three chronological groups. Only the first and the second contained pottery vessels which could be dated to the end of the Dynasty 0 and the beginning of the first half of the 1st Dynasty (Naqada IIIB/IIIC1-IIIC2) or the second half of the 1st Dynasty and the first half of the 2nd Dynasty (Naqada IIIC2/IIID) respectively. Following this, several additional graves containing other, remarkably different types of vessels were explored. Based on pottery analysis, this new group of graves was dated to Naqada IIIB, probably at its beginning and prior to the reign of Iry-Hor. The assemblages from these new graves contained cylindrical jars, mostly with cord-impressed patterns beneath their rims. Other pottery types included ovoid and shouldered jars of fine ware including two examples from a single grave, each with a serekh of a different ruler. Rough ware vessels included jars with high, almost cylindrical necks,‘granary’ jars and bowls with a concave outer contour of divergent sides. Bowls with convex sides and a simple rounded rim with a more or less smoothed surface as well as half-polished bowls with convex sides were also present.

Recent research in the northeastern Nile Delta proves that sites situated there played an important role both in developing contact between Egypt and Canaan, as well as in the processes which led to the formation of the Egyptian state. The new data concerning the early history of the Nile Delta has been obtained over the course of the last five years from the Polish Archaeological Survey in Ash-Sharqiyah Governorate. Rim fragments belonging to forms dated to the Naqada III period occur at five sites. Tell el-Akhdar is one of them. It is situated c. 2.5km to the southeast of the modern town of Abu Umran in Ash-Sharqiyah Governorate and halfway between the archaeological sites at Tell el-Murra to the west and Tell el-Iswid to the east. The distance to both is only c. 3km. The pottery material from Tell el-Akhadar comprises fragments of bread moulds, flat plates and different types of bowls, as well as fragmentsof jars. Most of these forms show an affinity with pottery foundat other Early Dynastic sites. The similarities are especially visible when we compare it with the Early Dynastic pottery from Tell el-Farkha, Tell el-Murra and Tell Abu el-Halyat. Although the material found at Tell el-Akhdar during previous research was dated to a later period, our investigation has confirmed that it was also present from at least the Naqada III period.
