Abstract

Funerary archeology and anthropology : the predynastic cemetery of Adaima. 65 graves have been excavated in the predynastic cemetery of Adaima, which cover the Nagada period. An anthropological approach has been undertaken, which allowed to reconsider the question of mortuary practices and put new light on the problem of cannibalism. These first results establish the archeological potentiality of Adaima and allow to recognize the importance of the field anthropology for a better understanding of ancient cemeteries.
