Korálkové šperky pro onen svět. Předběžná zpráva o souborech z hrobky hodnostáře Nefera (AS 68d); Beaded jewels for the afterlife. A preliminary report on sets from the tomb of the dignitary Nefer (AS 68d)
; ; Faience beads in the form of jewels, which decorated the bodies of the deceased, represent a regular constituent of the burial equipment of officials, priests and their families in the Old Kingdom period. While most tombs were robbed already in ancient times, beaded jewels were often disregarded by the robbers. Despite the fact that the context had been disturbed and the threading material usually decomposed, the beads still allow us to get an idea of the appearance of the original jewels. The odds improve further if an intact burial is discovered. Such situation has occurred twice in the case of the rock-cut tomb of the dignitary Nefer. During the archaeological seasons in the years 2012-2014, two of the four shafts uncovered were found intact (AS 68d, Shafts 3 and 4). The three sets of beaded jewels which were found in Nefer's tomb belonged to a man, woman and a child, providing an opportunity for a remarkable comparative material study. The potential of these finds consists not only in their state of preservation, but also in the variability of their owners that will enable us to compare the burial practices used for individual members of a high-ranking family who lived in the second part of the Old Kingdom period.

Objeví se další Iufaa? (Jaro 2015 v šachtových hrobkách v Abúsíru); Will another Iufaa appear? (Spring 2015 in the area of the shaft tombs at Abusir)
; ; During the spring season of 2015, the study of the texts and relief decoration in the large Late Period shaft tombs in the western part of the Abusir necropolis continued. At the same time, several trial trenches were dug in the area of another large shaft tomb situated to the northeast of the structure of Udjahorresnet. Here, two corners of the original foundation trench were unearthed, as well as the mouth of a lateral shaft (situated in the axis of the southern side of the tomb). The superstructure of the tomb was almost totally destroyed by the later quarrying of stone. In the debris, almost no finds were uncovered, except for three statue bases made of limestone.

Hadí encyklopedie egyptského kouzelníka: z textů v pohřební komoře kněze Iufay v Abúsíru; A Snake Encyclopaedia of an Egyptian Magician: glimpses into the texts of the burial chamber of lufaa at Abusir
; ; The burial chamber decoration of the shaft tomb of Iufaa at Abu sir (dated to the turn of the 261hf271h Dynasties) is exceptional with regards to both its extent and the featured topics. All walls of the chamber as well as the outer and inner sarcophagi are covered by excerpts from the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, Book of the Dead and other ritual or liturgical texts. Some of the spells and their illustrations have not been identified yet, others are exceptional or rare (e.g. the image of the Uroboros, or the god Tutu). The westem wall and a part of the northern wall of the burial chamber contain a number of representations of snakes and snake-like creatures as well as texts pertaining to them. According to the texts, these snakes represent divine or demonic beings of the deepest levels of the underworld, and of the beginning of time. In this paper, we present the western wall of the burial chamber of the tomb of Iufaa with six identified serpentine beings and Tutu and Mehen on the opposite, eastern wall with an interpretation of this unique textual corpus which connects underworld phenomena with the terrestrial cult and emphasizes the aspect of secret knowledge.

; ; In November 2015, the expedition directed by the Czech Institute of Egyptology carried out its fourth excavation campaign at Jebel Sabaloka (West Bank). Efforts were devoted to further exploration of the site of Sphinx (SBK.W-60) in the area of the "Rocky Cities" where a large late prehistoric burial ground, tentatively dated to the 8th millennium cal. BC, had been uncovered in 2012. Altogether 5 trenches, with the square area of 17 m2 in total and with their depths equating to as much as 1 m, were excavated to explore another section of the burial ground and to investigate the settlement stratigraphies in the southern and central parts of the site. Alongside the excavation, selected categories of finds (lithics, ground stone artefacts, animal bones) were analysed and documented. Also, further detailed surface survey and documentation of varied features at the site were performed in order to gather additional data necessary for the preparation of the first detailed report on this remarkable site. Last but not least, special measures were taken to protect the study area from damage by both illegal excavation and gravel quarrying.
