Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Tarkhan is a cemetery in Egypt’s Nile Valley, best known for its pivotal late Predynastic and Early Dynastic remains. Despite its importance for understanding state formation in Egypt, the site saw limited modern investigation until 2024, when a new Egyptian-Polish archaeological project was launched to provide a reassessment of Tarkhan.
