Résumé
Following its original discovery by Flinders Petrie in 1899/1900, the tomb of the 1st Dynasty queen, Meret-Neith at Abydos is currently the focus of a new interdisciplinary project. The project aims to establish Meret-Neith’s chronological position and role within the 1st Dynasty and to better understand, visualise, and archive her monumental tomb complex and associated artefacts. The complex comprises a main central part as well as exterior rows of subsidiary tombs, all built of mudbrick. Archaeological excavation of the central part as well as 27 (out of 41) subsidiary chambers of the complex was completed during the spring 2023 season, yielding a wide range of new results that will contribute to a better understanding of the historical significance of this queen.
