Giza West Field


The Giza West Field is located on the Giza Plateau, to the west of the fourth dynasty Pharaoh Khufu's pyramid. It is divided up into smaller areas like the cemeteries known as the Abu Bakr Excavations, as well as several cemeteries whose toponyms are based on the mastaba numbers such as Cemetery G 1000 and Cemetery G 1100. The West Field contains Cemetery G1000 – Cemetery G1600, and Cemetery G 1900. Further cemeteries in this field are: Cemeteries G 2000, G 2200, G 2500, G 3000, G 4000, and G 6000. Three other cemeteries are named after their excavators: Junker Cemetery West, Junker Cemetery East and Steindorff Cemetery.

Cemetery G 2100

Cemetery G 2100 was first excavated by Lepsius in 1842. The first tomb to be cleared was the mastaba owned by Merib. In 1905/6 the Harvard-Boston Museum expedition excavated this cemetery and further excavations date to 1912-13 and 1931-32. The cemetery consists of four rows of large mastabas:
The other smaller mastabas were built among these larger structures. The presence of Reserve heads and slab stela points to the reign of Khufu for the construction of the earliest of the tombs in this cemetery.

Cemetery G 2300

The family complex of Senedjemib Inti makes up an important part of this cemetery. Senedjemib Inti was vizier and chief architect to King Djedkare Isesi. His son Senedjemib Mehi followed in his footsteps as the vizier and chief architect under Unas, and eventually another son named Khnumenti became vizier under Teti. A man named Mer-ptah-ankh-meryre Nekhebu may be a grandson of Inti. Nekhebu's sons Mer-ptah-ankh-meryre Ptahshepses Impy and Sabu-ptah Ibebi were buried in this cemetery as well.
