                "description": "The site is located in the northern part of Mad\u012bnat al-\u1e2a\u0101ri\u01e7a, 1.6km south of the necropolis of al-Ba\u01e7aw\u0101t. Al-Zuh\u016br was very likely the southern, and possibly the earliest, necropolis of ancient Hibis. Rock-cut tombs, pit-graves and remains of mud-brick chapels confirm the funerary function of the area. In the southern part of the site, 18 tombs were found, dating between the end of the Seventeenth and the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty (c. 1550 BCE). These seem to be currently the earliest burials documented in Kharga Oasis. In the northern part of the funerary area, were discovered Roman and Byzantine period graves, both excavated in the rock and semi-excavated with additional mud-brick walls. The material associated with these latter tombs includes ceramic ware, jewellery, pots of ku\u1e25l, funerary scarabs and two pendant crosses. ",
                "archaeological_research": "The local inspectorate of the Supreme Council of Antiquities carried out several field seasons at al-Zuh\u016br between 1997 and 2009. The first excavation season, in 1997, resulted in the clearing of 18 tombs located in the southern part of the site; these burials were dated between the end of the Seventeenth and the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty (c. 1550 BCE). In June 2009, 71 tombs, dating between the Late Period (one grave) and the Roman (two graves) and Byzantine periods, were identified and cleared.",
