Petrie/Brunton/Murray 1923: "At this end the cemetery (of Lahun) is much earlier than the rest, and is close to the station of Bashkatib, it is here named from that, to distinguish it. ... Though this cemetery is not extensive, only 104 graves being noted, and several of those entirely bare, it is yet important for its short period-of the first three dynasties"
