The Mastaba of Akhmerutnisut Documentation Project (MAD-P), generously funded by ARCE’s Antiquities Endowment Fund, aims to document and study the mastaba of the Old Kingdom (c. 2686-2160 BCE) official Akhmerutnisut, located in the Western Cemetery at Giza. His monument is a prime example of a tomb that underwent radical changes in its layout and decoration during the Fifth Dynasty, a transitional period characterized by a major shift in funerary beliefs. In December 2023, the project organized its first fieldwork season in order to fully document the current state of the tomb, to protect the monument against the future accumulation of garbage and windblown sand, and to prepare a conservation plan. We determined the necessary steps that will need to be taken in the future to stabilize the remaining tomb architecture and conserve its surviving painted and relief decoration.
