In this article, several main ceramic contexts from the area of the court of princess Sheretnebty and its associated structures are briefly discussed, including the fill of the court itself and its shafts. The ceramic finds from the four large rock-cut tombs built south and south-east of the court have several common features.
Most of the pottery is of very fine quality, with a large percentage of red-slipped wares, reflecting the high social status of the owners. While the pottery from their primary layers (if attested) belongs to the second half to the end of the Fifth Dynasty, the fills of their chapels show types and forms characteristic of the middle to late Sixth Dynasty, hence enabling us to specify the date of the subsequent robbing activities in the tombs.
