Minshat Abu Omar contains several cemeteries from protodynastic dynasties, as well as many burial sites that date back to the late Roman Era.

Famous objects such as several cosmetic palettes, ivory bracelets with relief decoration and collars made of carnelian- and amethyst beads were found.

[1][2] The Roman period tombs are simple in their structure and design; they were oval or rectangular and contained coffins made of wood, ceramics and limestone.

[1][2] The excavated cemeteries and nearby settlements, their grave goods and the geographical position of that area (at the easternmost border of early dynastic Egypt), lead archaeologists and Eyptologists to the conclusion that Minshat Abu Omar was an important economic and strategic place.

Artifacts and weapons with the names of Narmer, Aha and Djet were found in Israel, Jordan and even in Lebanon, which proves successful trading during the first dynasties.
