Adaïma, Archaeological site in Upper Egypt.

The settlement extends across 12 hectares on the western bank of the Nile River, containing both residential areas and two separate burial grounds.

Archaeological excavations at Adaïma, initiated in 1989, have revealed continuous human occupation from 3800 to 2700 BCE during the Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods.

The site contains 504 intact graves in the Eastern Cemetery, featuring distinct burial practices including specialized pot burials for children in the southern section.

Located 8 kilometers south of Esna, the site presents extensive collections of pottery fragments, stone tools, and structural remains of ancient dwellings.

Researchers discovered an extraordinary burial in Tomb S55, containing five infants and one adult interred together within the remains of a hearth structure.
