Pre-dynastic cemetery at El Mahasna is an 1911 archaeological excavation report by Edward Russell Ayrton, published in London and Boston for the Egypt Exploration Fund and aimed at scholars of ancient Egypt. Its plates show excavated graves, skeletal remains, pottery vessels and the desert site, giving a designer raw, earthy textures of sand, bone and clay pottery with stark documentary framing.
