Meroe: 'palace' M 294
The structure "M 294" was first interpreted as a palace building. Garstang did not excavate the whole complex, but found a cachette with many high quality objects, mainly belonging to the Napatan period. Török 1997a: 152-161 argued that this was the site of the Amun temple of the Napatan period. The objects found perhaps belong to the temple treasures or a votive deposit. The later building on the site M 294 might then be a palace built over an earlier sacred precinct.
