The Tomb of the Vizier Rē'-Wer at Saqqara

At the time of the original publication Said el-Fikey was inspector for North Saqqara for the Egyptian Antiquities Service. He undertook several seasons of excavation at the important cemetery and pyramid site of Saqqara at Memphis, south-west of Cairo, including re-excavation of the tomb of Re'-wer in 1975-7. He received a scholarship from the British Museum to study in the Department of Egyptology at University College London to complete his research.
