Principal town of Upper Egypt province 7. The cemeteries, excavated by Petrie (1898 - 1899 for the Egypt Exploration Society) include material of almost all periods of Egyptian history. Petrie used the predynastic tomb groups in developing his Sequence Dates. There are remains of two Ptolemaic-Roman temples in the town.
