Since the mid 1990's, Institute of Egyptology, Waseda University, has excavated the New Kingdom necropolis newly discovered at the site of Dahshur North, located within the pyramid zone of Egypt. In the study of Memphite necropolis formation during the New Kingdom period only the Saqqara area has been discussed, and therefore, our discovery in Dahshur North encourages further discussion in the field of Egyptology. Free-standing tombs with superstructures and shafts contained objects dated to the Post-Amarna period, which suggests that Memphis had recovered its political importance after the end of the Amarna period, and also that the formation and use of the necropolis at Dahshur are the same as in the south area at Saqqara. Therefore, the results of our research have proved that the area extending more than 5 km south from Saqqara to Dahshur must be reconsidered. Moreover, the whole desert area between both necropolises will be related to the Memphite city boundary, which may assist the study of New Kingdom city planning, as exemplified by Thebes and Amarna.
