Abstract

The author is currently leading excavations in two areas at Saqqara: near the pyramid of Teti and at Gisr el-Mudir. Between these two areas, excavations uncovered four false doors dating to the Old Kingdom. These false doors have been restored and are published here, complete with translations of the texts and descriptions of the archaeological contexts in which they were discovered.
