Mostagedda
Archaeological site in Egypt
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.
British Egyptologist Guy Brunton and his wife Winifred excavated at Mostagedda and the broader El Badari district in the 1920s.
