Two pits (L1016 and L1055) from the early New Kingdom cemetery in areas H/I and H/III at ʿEzbet Helmi, Tell el-Dabʿa (ancient Avaris), have long been identified as remains of execration rituals in which Nubians were killed. In this paper I will argue that nothing in these two pits suggests execration of Nubians. The racial attribution of the individuals found in these pits can be questioned on both a theoretical and methodological basis. The Nubian pottery and supposedly Nubian arrowheads often associated with these “execration” pits do not come from either the burials in the cemetery nor from the pits. These finds are later than the cemetery and the “execration” pits in H/I and H/III. In the case of Nubians and “execration” pits from Tell el-Dabʿa we are dealing with a case of mistaken identity, an erroneous interpretation based on culture-historical and racial anthropological assumptions—a hidden theory.

长期以来，人们一直认为，新王国早期公墓位于埃兹贝特·赫尔米（Ezbet Helmi）H / I和H / III地区的两个坑（L1016和L1055）是古老的阿瓦里斯（Avaris）遗体，是努比亚人被杀害的执行仪式的遗迹。在本文中，我将论证这两个坑中没有任何东西暗示了努比亚人的处决。在这些矿坑中发现的个体的种族归因可以在理论和方法上都受到质疑。努比亚的陶器和通常与这些“死刑”坑相关的努比亚箭头既不是来自墓地的墓葬，也不是来自坑。这些发现晚于公墓和H / I和H / III中的“死刑”坑。对于努比亚人和泰勒·达巴（Tell el-Dabʿa）的“处决”坑，我们正在处理一个身份错误的案例，这是一种基于文化历史和种族人类学假设的错误解释，这是一个隐藏的理论。
