Summary/Abstract: The El-Ar 7 and El-Ar 29 sites were discovered during the November survey in 2007. The graves were of two types — semi-domed, which are connected with the Napatan Horizon as a rule, and small flat tumuli from the Kerma period — but neither could be dated for lack of surface archaeological material. Excavations of chosen features were undertaken to verify the dating of these two small cemeteries.
