The necropolis of er-Rizeiqat

Ejsmond, Wojciech; Er-Rizeiqat is an Upper Egyptian cemetery located ca. 10 km west form Armant, which was in use from predynastic times to the Greco- Roman period. The aim of the paper is to present this poorly known archaeological site, which was for many years neglected by scholars, despite its informative potentials. Previous publications and some of the unpublished artefacts were analysed in light of the reconnaissance undertaken in 2013 and 2016. From the results, it was possible to gather information on the topography and state of preservation of the necropolis as well as specific dating of its use. An evaluation of its significance and an attempt to relate it with the local settlements have contributed to the better understanding of the settlement pattern in the southern part of the Theban nome. It is suggested in this paper that the site served as a cemetery to settlements of: Iumiteru, Iusut, and Mniry/Mnity, as well as Sumenu from the First Intermediate Period onward.
