Four flint bracelets, one imperfectly preserved, from burial 149 at Tarkhan. This was the main cemetery in the border area between Upper and Lower Egypt during the period preceding unification. Burial 149 was roofed over with poles and boards covered with matting. The chamber beneath contained a single body, a man wearing four flint bracelets on each arm. The contents included pottery vessels and stone vessels that allow the date to be pinpointed at Petrie's Sequence Date 80, corresponding to the beginning of the 1st Dynasty.
