1924 Hemamieh
Excavations at Hemamieh indicate that there was occupation in the Predynastic period from the Badarian to late Naqada II period.
Caton-Thompson also recovered evidence for nine "hut circles" comprised of mud brick. A wattle and daub superstructure with mud-plastered floors was excavated but material remains were unclear whether these were human residences or shelters for food supplies and animals.
Guy Brunton led work at cemeteries of later periods around Hemamieh, and these tombs were numbered between 1500 and 2100 (excavation marks 24/1500 - 24/2100). Numbers in the 6500 range were for a few graves found by Miss Caton-Thompson in the settlement north of Hemamieh.
