Our sincere thanks go to Jolana Malátková and Martin Odler for their invaluable help during the preparation of the volumes and to the Serifa publishing house. It is probably not out of place here to thank all the contributors for their cooperation during the editorial process. It is the very hope of the editors that she would enjoy the current volume and discussions on many themes emerging through the rich collection of the texts presented below. We are convinced that her name and memory will remain everlasting and will thus fulfil one of the most important wishes of the Ancient Egyptians – achieving endless and blessed presence through your deed sand thoughts. In accord with her family, we take the liberty to dedicate the present volume to her. She was the author of many stimulating articles and studies and a monograph on the tomb of Netjeraperef. She devoted her professional career to the study of the Old Kingdom period, site, tombs and the Dahshur pyramid field in particular. This fine German scholar and close friend of many of us was made to leave this world too early. The final but perhaps most important and heartfelt words are going to our dear colleague and friend Nicole Alexanian. As long as this situation persists, hardly any significant progress in the current quality of Egyptian archaeology and Egyptology in general can be envisaged. Such projects in most cases fail due to the current restrictions in sampling strategies and subsequent analyses, unlike, for instance, in Sudanese archaeology. What is – rather unfortunately given the present state of affairs –in great demand are multidisciplinary projects making use of the current hi-tech standards in world archaeology. The very nature of the individual contributions reflects well the current situation in Egyptology characterized by a focus on archaeology, the theory of artefacts, iconographic and art historian studies, and the research of largely unpublished archival materials. ![]() Finally, the volume is closed with two more studies which cannot be strictly dated to a specific period. ![]() The successive period of the Middle Kingdom is represented by three studies the New Kingdom period features four and the Late Period three articles, respectively. ![]() The overwhelming number of the 31 contributions is dedicated to various aspects of Old Kingdom archaeology and most present specific aspects linked with archaeological excavations, both past and present. In the present volume we offer 43 contributions by 53 scholars covering different fields and periods. It was not different during the last meeting that took place in Prague during June22–26, 2015. Scholars of Egyptian archaeology, philology, art history, anthropology, natural sciences and other disciplines active on the pyramid fields, but also colleagues whose works elsewhere has an impact on the history of the pyramid fields, meet for a week to discuss the latest development and discoveries in their respective fields and establish further cooperation. Indeed, taking place every five years, it has developed into an effective and informative platform bringing scholars up to date with the most recent developments in the field, at Abusir and Saqqara in particular, but also taking into consideration the neighbouring pyramid fields as well as all other evidence and research relevant for gaining a better understanding of the primary subject of the conference. Over the years this event has become an established tradition to look forward to. The Abusir and Saqqara meetings have been organised already four times by the Czech Institute of Egyptology at the Charles University in Prague – in 2000,2005, 20 (Bárta and Krejčí, eds.
