WEST SAQQARA
IN 2002
Karol Mysliwiec
Uncovering part of the western edge of the alleged “dry moat ” was the chief objective of work
carried out by the Polish-Egyptian archaeological mission at Saqqara between September 14
and October 31, 2002.0 Further clearing was also undertaken in the eastern part of the
excavated area, particularly in connection with work on a new overall map comprising all
the previous and current discoveries.
Particular categories of finds, especially pottery, human remains and botanical matter,
continued to be studied by specialists.
1) The mission staff included: Prof Dr. Karol Mysliwiec, Director; Prof. Dr. Maria Kaczmarek, anthropologist; Dr. Kamil
Kuraszkiewicz, Egyptologist; Dr. Mariusz Jucha, archaeologist; Dr. Jaroslaw Zielinski, biologist; Dr. Salima Ikram,
Egyptologist-palaeozoologist; Mrs. Teodozja Rzeuska and Mrs. Agnieszka Kowalska, Egyptologists; Ms Malgorzata
Radomska and Mr. Hendrik Jan Top, archaeologists; Ms Beata Blaszczuk and Mr. Mieczyslaw Niepokolczycki, architects;
Mr. Zbigniew Godziejewski, Ms Urszula D%browska, Ms Izabela Uchman and Mrs. Teresa Zurkowska, conservators;
Mr. Waldemar Jerke and Mr. Maciej Jawornicki, photographers. The Supreme Council of Antiquities was represented by
Mr. Ezzat Sayed Ahmed Sherif, inspector of the mission.
Our work would never have been accomplished without the support of Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the
Supreme Council of Antiquities, whose competence and admirable efficiency engender our particular thanks. We should
also like to express our gratitude to Mr. Ahmed EI-Haggar, General Director of Saqqara, and Mr. Kamal Wahid, Chief
Inspector of Saqqara District, for their understanding of our problems and assistance, particularly in matters of preservation
and consolidation of monuments and objects discovered during this campaign.
Thanks are also due Mr. Magdy El-Ghandour from the Supreme Council of Antiquities for competently helping to save
time and energy.
