Panel 7 : this very interesting scene could be dated from predynastic. It shows a representation of a boat from ‘sickle boat’ type with two cabins. One of them is overlaid by two birds. Following S. Hendrickx , this birds should be herons. We find parallel of this kind of representation in the wadi Abu Subeira himself, in the entrance of the wadi, in the KASS1 station, published by M. C. Gatto . Other representation of herons are represented in the Djebel Tjauti’s Inscription . This panel is dated from Nagada IIIA1. Following the indications gived by the shepa of our boat, L. 502. B2. P7 should be earlier (Naqaga II D ?).
At the top of the cliff of the southern corner of the confluence, on an huge erratic block, two faces engraved :
- Panel 1 : is a very developped navigation scene, with 6 boats and half of another one (continuying into panel 2). Around them, 7 dogs, 1 elephant, 1 donkey, 2 ibexes and 1 bull. 3 men are on the boats, and 2 another around (including 3 bowmen and 2 men holding curved sticks). This scene can be dated from predynastic, but we can recognized at least two phases of engraving.
- Panel 2 : is another navigation scene, with 4 sickle boats and half another one (the second part of the boat beginning on panel 1). No human figure on the boat, but one unidentifiable animal and a man, both modern, below the upper boat. The boats at the right side of the scene are cutted by a modern vertical line.
It is a vertical cliff in the southern side of the Wadi Umm Ushsh. It is constituted of six rocks whithin wich rock 2 and 4 have four engraved panels. Rocks 1, 2 and 3 are vertical sides of the wadi cliff while rocks 4 and 5 are fallen rocks at the foot of it (the engravings have been done after the fall of the rocks). Rock 6 is located in front the cliff in a scree of a adjacent tributary.
The whole locus shows three navigation scenes (B2.P1 + B3.P2. + B4), four hunting scenes with archers, dogs and desert animals (ibex, oryx, kob) (B2.P4 + B3 P.4 + B5 + B6) and one scene of animal presentation (B2.P.3). All these engravings can be attributed to the Predynastic period.
