The objective of this long-term project comprises the scientific excavation, documentation and publication of the recently discovered necropolis called Qubbet el-Hawa North in the region of Aswan (Upper Egypt). The find spot has been unknown to the scientific community until 2012, when the rock tombs had been discovered by local looters. The venture is based on a bilateral cooperation between the Ministry of Antiquities of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the local inspectorate of Aswan together with the German partners. The invitation for this joint venture has been offered by the Egyptian authorities in 2014. The region in question is situated on the west bank of the Nile and covers approximately 25.000 sqm. This cemetery turned out to be the direct chronological and geographical continuation of the main necropolis of the site, some 800 m to the south. Most of the ten – hitherto unknown – rock tombs can be dated to the New Kingdom (1550–1100 BC). A regional elite-necropolis of this important period was unidentified so far. The presence of the new necropolis closes a big gap in terms of the comprehension of local administrative patterns in the region of Aswan. Disregarding the severe damage by the looters inside the tombs, a lot of in-situ findings are traceable in the courtyards. Furthermore a huge amount of contemporary pottery is still preserved, which will help to clarify the chronological situation based on a detailed typological study for this particular region. The unique tomb architecture and the unusual delicate decoration as well as the hieroglyphic inscriptions will highlight many cultural aspects like the local development of rock-cut tombs or art historian and stylistic questions. In comparison with other Upper Egyptian nomes and the residential features at Thebes the necropolis of the Qubbet el-Hawa North will play a significant role. Prosopographical studies regarding the personal names and the depicted persons – in connection with anthropological and genetic investigations of skeletons and mummies – will offer the opportunity to estimate the quota of Nubian officials, priests and high ranking soldiers within the Ancient Egyptian local administration during the New Kingdom. It is of great importance in reference to further stratigraphical studies that at least two rock-cut tombs of the new necropolis can be dated to the late Old Kingdom (ca. 2200 BC).All those comprehensive studies will be based on the scientific documentation and publication of the individual tombs in a new special series related to the Qubbet el Hawa North. The results of the excavations of this new necropolis will shed new light on the understanding of many different archaeological and social aspects of the region in the 2nd millennium BC.

这个长期项目的目的涉及在阿斯万地区（上埃及）地区的最近发现的名为Qubbet El-Hawa North的墓地的科学发掘，文档和发表。直到2012年，当地躺椅发现了岩石坟墓，该发现地点一直是科学界的知识。该合资企业基于阿拉伯共和国古物部与阿斯旺的当地督察与德国合作伙伴之间的双边合作。埃及当局于2014年提出了该合资企业的邀请。该地区位于尼罗河西岸，覆盖约25.000平方米。该公墓原来是该地点主要墓地的直接按时间顺序和地理延续，南部约800 m。十个 - 迄今为止未知的大多数 - 岩石坟墓可以追溯到新王国（公元前1550 - 1100年）。到目前为止，这个重要时期的区域精英宗家已经统一了。在理解阿斯旺地区的地方行政模式方面，新的墓地的存在缩小了很大的差距。无视坟墓内部的散落器造成的严重损害，庭院中的许多原位发现都是可追溯的。此外，仍然保留了大量当代陶器，这将有助于根据该特定地​​区的详细类型学研究来阐明按时间顺序的情况。独特的坟墓建筑，异常详细的装饰以及象形文字铭文将突出许多文化方面，例如岩石库或艺术史学家的当地发展以及风格上的问题。与其他埃及上级名人和泰比斯的居民相比，Qubbet El-Hawa North的墓地将发挥重要作用。关于个人名称和描述的人的预科研究 - 与人类学和遗传投资有关骨架和木乃伊的投资，将为估计新王国期间古埃及当地政府内纳比亚官员，牧师和高级士兵的配额提供机会。参考进一步的地层研究非常重要，即新墓地的至少两个岩石切片可以追溯到已故的旧王国（公元前2200年）。所有这些全面的研究将基于与Qubbet El Hawaii North相关的新特殊系列中的科学文献和单个坟墓的发表。这个新的墓地发掘的结果将为公元前第二千年对该地区许多不同的档案和社会方面的理解提供新的了解。
