Summary/Abstract: Like in the previous season in 1998, (there was a break in the sork of the Mission in 1999) we made some investigations on the upper slope of the El-Khokha hill but there was work on other spots as well. As mentioned in the earlier reports, we have succeeded in discovering the pyramid of TT 32 near to the top of El Khokha in 1997. It is situated on a height of about 16 m above the entrance of the tomb. This year of efforts were concentrated on the small chapel of the pyramid (inner room 2,32 × 2,52m) with decorated walls situated in the central part of the building. By analogy with the pyramids on Dira Abu’l Naga, it must have been a vaulted chamber.
