Abstract

The Waseda University team has carried out a conservation work for the layered stone structure on the slope of the Abusir-South hill in 2006 season. The structure was probably erected in the Third Dynasty, which period is known as a time of the realization of stone structure in Ancient Egypt.<br>Since weathering of the upper surface of the structure was severe and a large number of the blocks appeared to have been flaking, the upper surface of the structure was covered with not only sand but also a kind of mortar mixed with clay, sand, and slaked lime in order to detain sand accumulation. The mortar was stabilized by hammering.<br>It is expected that above conservation work will prevent further deterioration of the layered stone structure for years to come.
