Mostagedda is an archaeological site in Upper Egypt, 10 km south of Asyut and on the east bank of the Nile, which includes a necropolis that covers several different periods of Egyptian history from predynastic Badarian culture to Greco Roman. Notably, the site also includes burials from the Pan-Grave culture of ancient Nubia.[1]
British Egyptologist Guy Brunton and his wife Winifred excavated at Mostagedda and the broader El Badari district in the 1920s.[2]
