Several British teams worked at Abydos in 1899-1900:

• Flinders Petrie led work on the royal tombs of Dynasties 1 and 2 in the Umm el-Qa'ab area of Abydos including: the tomb of Qa'a (tomb Q), 'Mersekha-Semempses' known today as Semerkhet (tomb U), Merneith (tomb Y), Zet or Djet tomb (tomb Z) and associated subsidiary burials (Cemetery W), 'Azab-Merpaba' known today as Anedjib (tomb X), Djer (tomb O), Den (tomb T), and Peribsen (tomb P); these were all published in Petrie, W.M.F. 1900. The Royal Tombs of the First Dynasty Part I.
• Randall-MacIver directed work on two prehistoric cemeteries that lay about half a mile away from the royal tombs  (at least 74 graves in  Cemetery ø and 74 in Cemetery χ ), as well as work at the Middle Kingdom mortuary complex of Senwosret III (area H); published in Randall-MacIver and Mace 1901. El Amrah and Abydos
• Mace led work at a pharaonic period cemetery (Cemetery D), an area that is part of larger North cemetery near the wadi leading from the Osiris Temple to the Umm el-Qa'ab. It is dated broadly as being in use between the late Second Intermediate Period through to the beginning of the Late Period. Note that there are two portions of the greater North Cemetery referred to as “Cemetery D” – one excavated by Mace during the 1899-1900 season and a second cemetery assigned as “D” by Peet during his work between 1911 and 1914. The two cemeteries lie at opposite ends of the North Cemetery as a whole.
• Mace also worked at the pyramid temple complex of Ahmose I (area K = pyramid, L = around pyramid);  published in Randall-MacIver and Mace 1901. El Amrah and Abydos
• Flinders Petrie led investigations at a cemetery with Predynastic and later graves (Cemetery G); partly published in Petrie, W.M.F. 1902. Abydos I pp. 34-40) and a few mentioned briefly in Randall-MacIver and Mace 1901. El Amrah and Abydos
• Garstang led work for the Egyptian Research Account at a Dynasty 12 and Dynasty 18 cemetery (Cemetery E), located today in what is more usually referred to as the 'North Cemetery' at Abydos; published as Garstang, J. 1901. El Arabah. [8]
