Tomb AS 65 is part of a complex compound of large stone mastabas dating from the reign of Nyuserre to thebeginning of the Sixth Dynasty (Dulíková – Odler – Havelková 2011). The mastaba belonged to the chiefphysician, Neferherptah, and was excavated in the fall of 2010. After a break caused by the 2011 revolution inEgypt, work in the field continued in 2012. However, the entire structure was not completely cleared anddocumented, since other, more imperative work intervened (Vymazalová – Dulíková 2012: 339–356; Bárta et al.2014). Thus, work at AS 65 was not resumed and completed until the fall of 2016. During the rather short seasonthat followed, the western part of the mastaba was cleared, and a third shaft (no. 3) was found in the centre ofthe core. Despite all our efforts, however, no apparent entrance into this tomb complex was discovered duringthat last season either. It must be suspected, and hopefully verified in one of the next seasons, that the originalaccess into the tomb complex was possible from the south.
