ABU ROASH. Modern name for the site of the funerary complex of
Djedefre of Dynasty 4, which includes the remains of his pyramid
and associated temples, as well as a major cemetery of the Early Dynastic
Period and a pyramid of Dynasty 3. The site has been excavated
by French expeditions since 1901, notably under Fernand Bisson
de la Roque in 1922–1924 and Pierre Montet in 1937; a Dutch
expedition in 1957–1959; and a joint French–Swiss team since 1995.
