The elite tombs date mainly from the Old Kingdom and provide an insight into the burial traditions of Upper Egyptian Nome One during the later Old Kingdom. There are also some later tombs, from the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom. Among the most important tombs are those of the expedition leaders despatched to distant lands to negotiate the acquisition of foreign goods for the Egyptian court.
