Description

The Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Charles University in Prague has because the start of the third millennium established the tradition of organizing regularly a platform for scholars, active within the pyramid fields and the cemeteries of the Memphite region (Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur and Giza in particular), to meet, exchange information and establish further cooperation.
The present volume, containing 43 contributions by 53 scholars, is the results of the already fourth “Abusir and Saqqara” conference held in June 2015. The volume reflects the widespread, incessantly multidisciplinary interest of many researchers into all kinds of different topics related to the Memphite necropoleis. Recurring topics of the studies include a focal point on archaeology, the theory of artifacts, iconographic and art historian studies, and the research of in large part unpublished archival materials. An overwhelming collection of contributions (31) is dedicated to more than a few aspects of Old Kingdom archaeology and most present specific aspects linked with archaeological excavations, both past and present.
