Nakhtsare's cemetery in central Abusir - the burial ground for the royals?

Abstract

A group of four tombs, Nakhtsare's cemetery, is located at the southern edge of Abusir Centre. The results of the archaeological excavations (1994-2016) of much destroyed mastabas represent an important supplement to our understanding of the development of the Abusir royal necropolis and the Fifth-Dynasty royal family.
