Abstract

The paper presents the exploration of the eastern bank of the Dry Moat by a team from the University of Warsaw, extending further south from the section unearthed in 2001. The team also uncovered a previously unknown Old Kingdom funerary complex in the area south of the tomb of Merefnebef. Burials of the Upper Necropolis were found in both sectors. Field conservation, an important part of the program, is discussed in the appendix.
