During the spring season of 2015, the study of the texts and relief decoration in the large Late Period shaft tombs in the western part of the Abusir necropolis continued. At the same time, several trial trenches were dug in the area of another large shaft tomb situated to the northeast of the structure of Udjahorresnet. Here, two corners of the original foundation trench were unearthed, as well as the mouth of a lateral shaft (situated in the axis of the southern side of the tomb). The superstructure of the tomb was almost totally destroyed by the later quarrying of stone. In the debris, almost no finds were uncovered, except for three statue bases made of limestone.

Faience beads in the form of jewels, which decorated the bodies of the deceased, represent a regular constituent of the burial equipment of officials, priests and their families in the Old Kingdom period. While most tombs were robbed already in ancient times, beaded jewels were often disregarded by the robbers. Despite the fact that the context had been disturbed and the threading material usually decomposed, the beads still allow us to get an idea of the appearance of the original jewels. The odds improve further if an intact burial is discovered. Such situation has occurred twice in the case of the rock-cut tomb of the dignitary Nefer. During the archaeological seasons in the years 2012-2014, two of the four shafts uncovered were found intact (AS 68d, Shafts 3 and 4). The three sets of beaded jewels which were found in Nefer's tomb belonged to a man, woman and a child, providing an opportunity for a remarkable comparative material study. The potential of these finds consists not only in their state of preservation, but also in the variability of their owners that will enable us to compare the burial practices used for individual members of a high-ranking family who lived in the second part of the Old Kingdom period.
