Description: | Stone jar. Turned/drilled interior. Polished outer surface. Flat smooth base. Small inclusions in stone. Harageh was excavated in the winter of 1913-1914 by R Engelbach and B Gunn, contemporaries of Petrie who was excavating the nearby site of Lahun at the time.
The cemeteries at Harageh have a range of dates. The earliest are predynastic (before 3100 BC) and then the place is used again as a cemetery from the late Old Kingdom c.2300 BC through to the New Kingdom ending in c.1069. Later during the Coptic phase it was used again.
The registry file includes correspondence from Petrie about a donation from the British School of Archaeology which included this object.
