SAQQARA 2006: THE POTTERY
SAQQARA 2006: THE POTTERY

Summary/Abstract: Excavations in 2006 were focused on the eastern part of the explored site, in the sector of the necropolis directly adjoining the enclosure wall of the Netjerykhet funerary complex. Most of the pottery assemblage represented the late Old Kingdom with the rest forming small groups dated to the Archaic, early Old Kingdom, New Kingdom and later periods. The pottery is an important group for understanding the development of this part of the Saqqara necropolis. Not only has it contributed types previously not recorded in the richly represented pottery of the late Old Kingdom, but also added to our knowledge of pottery from ages previously poorly represented in this area.
