WEST SAQQARA
EXCAVATIONS, 2000
Karol Mysliwiec
The Polish-Egyptian Archaeological Mission continued work in the area extending westward of the
pyramid of Netjerikhet, from August 28 to October 22, 2000. O The present work involved
conservation of objects discovered during previous and current fieldwork, as well as excavations
eastward in the direction of the step pyramid and westward toward the alleged “dry moat”, the latter
meant to clarify the archaeological context of the western part of the necropolis. Studies on particular
groups of objects, such as the pottery, skeletons and geological implements, were also pursued in the
course of this campaign.
1) The Mission included the following: Prof. Dr. Karol Mysliwiec, Director; Prof. Dr. Maria Kaczmarek, anthropologist;
Prof. Elzbieta Mycielska-Dowgiailo, geologist; Dr. Salima Ikram, palaeozoologist; Dr. Kamil Kuraszkiewicz, Ms. Teodozja
Rzeuska, Ms. Agnieszka Kowalska, Ms. Dorota Czerwik, Mr. Andrzej Cwiek, Mr. Mariusz Jucha, Egyptologists;
Ms. Malgorzata Radomska, Mr. Krzysztof Dymkowski, Mr. Marek Gizmajer, archaeologists; Mr. Zbigniew Godziejewski,
Ms. Agnieszka Kijowska, Mr. Cristobal Calaforra-Rzepka, conservators; Mr. Jakub Sliwa, photographer; Mr. Marek
Puszkarski, artist; Ms. Barbara Woronko, geologist. The Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities was represented by
Mr. Sabri Moheddin Farag, Inspector of the Mission.
Our task could not have been carried out successfully without the kind assistance of Prof. Dr. Gaballa Ali Gaballa,
Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, and Dr. Zahi Hawass, Director of the Giza Plateau. We should
also like to express our gratitude to the Authorities of the Supreme Council in Saqqara, subsequent Directors of the Saqqara
District, Mr. Mohamed Hagras and Mr. Adel Hussein in particular, as well as subsequent Chief Inspectors of South Saqqara,
Mr. Magdi El-Ghandour and Mr. Khaled Mohamed, for their personal involvement in the project.
