On the origins of the cartouche and encircling symbolism in Old Kingdom pyramids /
:
This study suggests the development of the cartouche was closely related to the monumental encircling symbolism incorporated into the architectural designs of the Old Kingdom pyramids. By employing a new architectural style and a new iconographic symbol, the pharaoh sought to elevate his status above that of the members of his powerful court.

Tomb security in ancient Egypt from the Predynastic to the Pyramid Age /
:
Egyptians went to great lengths to protect their dead from the omnipresent threat of robbery by incorporating specially developed architectural features in their tombs. However, the architecture of tomb security has rarely been studied as a subject in its own right and is usually treated as a secondary topic in publications of a scholarly nature, which tend to regard its role as incidental to the design of the tomb rather than perhaps being the driving force behind it. This issue had been raised in the early Twentieth Century by Reisner (1908: 11), who suggested that the rapid evolution of Egyptian tomb substructures was as a result of the desire for tomb security and more ostentatious tombs, rather than a development spurred by religious or funerary practices.

Abou Rawash I : le complexe funéraire royal de Rêdjedef /
:
"Depuis près d'un demi-siècle, l'étude des complexes funéraires royaux de l'Ancien Empire a constamment été nourrie par la découverte de nouveaux monuments ainsi que par la reprise des fouilles sur des sites déjà explorés. Curieusement, l'emplacement d'Abou Rawash, au nord-ouest du Caire, n'a fait l'objet d'aucune enquête systématique depuis les brefs travaux que lui avait consacrés É. Chassinat au début du XXe siècle. Or, il est aujourd'hui reconnu que ces vestiges comptent au nombre des rares maillons manquants dans la série des ensembles réétudiés. Cet oubli est d'autant plus surprenant qu'ils regroupent tous les éléments constitutifs des grands tombeaux des souverains de la Ive dynastie. En dépit des destructions subies et de l'exploitation intensive qui en a été faite depuis l'époque romaine par les carriers, les vestiges conservés offrent l'immense intérêt de présenter de nombreuses ressemblances avec un chantier en construction. Au terme de treize campagnes (1995-2007), une image cohérente de ce lieu de mémoire se dégage désormais, et nombre d'hypothèses anciennes demandent à être reconsidérées."--P. [4] of cover.
