For example, why were certain areas of the necropolis selected for burial in certain time periods; what were the tombs’ spatial relations to contemporaneous and older monuments; and what effect did earlier structures have on the positioning of tombs and structuring of the necropolis in later times? This study adopts landscape biography as a conceptual tool to study the long-time interaction between people and landscapes.Culture and History of the Ancient Near East ;131.Biblical Studies, Ancient Near East and Early Christianity E-Books Online, Collection 2023.Biography of an Ancient Egyptian Cultural LandscapeTombsEgyptṢaqqārah. TombsEgyptMemphis (Extinct city) Cultural landscapesEgyptṢaqqārah. Cultural landscapesEgyptMemphis (Extinct city) Excavations (Archaeology)EgyptṢaqqārah. Excavations (Archaeology)EgyptMemphis (Extinct city) Ṣaqqārah (Egypt)AntiquitiesMemphis (Extinct city)EgyptHistoryNew Kingdom, ca. 1550-ca. 1070 B.CTombsTombsCultural landscapesCultural landscapesExcavations (Archaeology)Excavations (Archaeology)932/.2Staring Nico1431529NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910746985503321The Saqqara Necropolis through the New Kingdom3573944UNINA
