Figure 1: Map of the Nile Valley showing the area covered by the 1908-1909 excavations, from Ginari (1) down to Aman Daud (2) (Amended from Firth 1912b, Plan I).
Figure 2: Anatomical recording card produced by Derry and Smith for grave 384, cemetery 72. The card shows the addition of later annotations by both the anatomical team (black ink) and a note by an unknown hand confirming the transfer of part of the skele
Figure 3: An example of one of the anatomical recording cards used to record numerous burials from cemetery 72. The numbers in the general remarks section provide the grave number of the body and comments about age, sex and condition. ©The Duckworth Labor
Figure 4: An example of one of the pencil notations made on the long bones in the field. Less that clear original notations, post-mortem fractures, handling and preservation issues have all contributed to making these difficult to read in many cases. ©The
Figure 5: The female skull found in cemetery 69, grave 20. There are a number of small lesions present on the back, right of the skull which appear to be pathological in nature. Earlier analysis has tentatively identified these as multiple myeloma. ©The K

Figure 8: The skull of an adult, male found in cemetery 74, grave 12. The frontal bone shows signs of a well-healed depressed fracture measuring 23.6 x 20.9 mm. ©The Duckworth Laboratory, The University of Cambridge, 2023.
Figure 9: The ossified larynx of an adult, male found in cemetery 74, grave 15. Although a number of examples were found during the ASN, this is the only example currently known to survive. ©The Duckworth Laboratory, The University of Cambridge, 2023.
