Brunton assigned each area of excavation an 'area number' moving upwards in increments of 100, beginning from 100. Since each area number only provisioned for a maximum of 100 registered features (i.e. 100, 200, 3200, 3300), some numbers seem to have been issued as an ‘overflow’, rather than for a distinct new excavation area. Almost all periods of Egyptian history are represented across the areas:
The areas between 200 and 300 had been plundered and no excavations were carried out.
