Abusir, Late Period, shaft tomb, AW 6, base of a stela, epigraphy, documentation, potteryDuring the spring season of 2017, the study of the texts
and relief decoration in the large Late Period shaft tombs of
Iufaa and Menekhibnekau in the western part of the Abusir
necropolis continued. The final publication of the texts from
the tomb of Menekhibnekau is planned to appear in 2018.
At the same time, the superstructure of another large shaft
tomb, dubbed AW 6 and situated to the north-east of the
structure of Udjahorresnet, was completely excavated.
Originally, it consisted of an enclosure measuring about
19.5 metres square and surrounding a huge central shaft
(about 14 m2
). On the numerous limestone fragments,
no traces of inscriptions or relief decoration have been
preserved. A limestone base (originally serving perhaps
for a stela) was found in its original position in front of
the northern facade of the enclosure; similar bases were
unearthed in the centres of the remaining three sides of
the original enclosure in 2015. Therefore, the tomb might
have been used for the burial of its – as yet anonymous –
owner.
In the close vicinity of the original enclosure, no traces
of a small shaft were found that would give access to
the burial chamber situated at the bottom of the huge
central shaft. Rather surprisingly, however, another shaft
(measuring 5.5 m2
) came to light close to the southwestern
corner of the enclosure. Judging from its position,
it might be either another embalmers’ cache or, more
probably perhaps, the burial place of a family member (?)
of the owner of AW 6.
