| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to compare two sets of ceramic
finds from the two southernmost shafts uncovered in tomb
AS 68d, namely Shaft 1, belonging to the main tomb owner
named Nefer, and Shaft 2, which very likely belonged to
his wife, Neferhathor. These shafts are interesting due to
the fact that although both their burial chambers were
robbed and thus the shafts must have been disturbed,
a large number of typologically and metrically similar
vessels and their fragments were uncovered in the fills. In
both shafts, we were able to uncover a large amount of
fragments belonging not only to certain ceramic classes
(especially stands, platters and jars) but also to the same
groups, such as the tall hour-glass stands or the low ring
stands. Also, numerous examples from both shafts were
able to be glued together to at least full profile, if not to full
diameter. Thus it is possible to assume that these shafts
were back-filled with either their original contents or at least
an unknown fraction of it, and the ceramic finds uncovered
in them were originally part of intentional burial shaft
deposits. |
