The Funerary Domains in the Pyramid Complex of Sahura
The book presents the reader the richest corpus of Old Kingdom royal funerary domains. The core of the book represents a catalog of funerary domains retrieved during recent archaeological works by an Egyptian team at Sahura ́s causeway and related pehou regions.

The following chapters then discuss the nature and location of pehou regions as well as economic significance of royal domains with regard to the new finds from Sahura ́s causeway.
King Seneb-Kay's Tomb and the Necropolis of a Lost Dynasty at Abydos
This volume is the publication and analysis of the tomb of pharaoh Seneb-Kay (ca. 1650-1600 BCE), and a cemetery of associated tombs at Abydos, all attributable to a group of kings of Egypt's Second Intermediate Period.

Yet, their agency and autonomy are often downplayed, undermined, or outright ignored. In Women in Ancient Egypt twenty-four international scholars offer a corrective to this view by presenting the lates...
