Mostagedda is an archaeological site in Upper Egypt, about 10 km south of the town of Asyut, on the east bank of the Nile. It has a necropolis that covers many periods of Egyptian history, from the predynastic Badarian culture to Greco-Roman times. The site also contains burials from the Pan-Grave culture of ancient Nubia. In the 1920s, British archaeologists Guy Brunton and his wife Winifred Brunton excavated at Mostagedda and the nearby El Badari district.
