Summary/Abstract: Preliminary report on the findings from the excavation in 2009 of four tumuli (Nos 31a–31d) from a late Meroitic/post-Meroitic tumuli field in El-Ar 31, a site in the Fourth Cataract region. The project was carried out by an expedition from the Poznań Archaeological Museum, operating in the concession of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw, as part of the Merowe Dam Archaeological Salvage Project. All the graves had been plundered, but incompletely, leaving some pottery and beads from the original grave goods.
