| description | This article summarises the excavations of tomb AS 91,
uncovered during the autumn season of 2016 at Abusir
South. The mastaba was highly damaged and its
superstructure had almost completely disappeared. Three
shafts were detected in the mastaba core. Shafts 1 and 2
were rather shallow, but to the contrary, Shaft 3 was
considerably deeper, and at its bottom, an unfinished burial
chamber was hewn. The burial had been looted, but
a few fragmentarily preserved human bones, a fairly high
number of animal remains, and even two Barn Owl
skeletons were collected there. The archaeological report
is supported by an archaeozoological analysis of the
animal remains and by an anthropological study of the
fragmentary human bones. |
