<HTML>Hi Peter.
Ok! *lol* I think I asked it wrong.
But, your very last sentence is kind of the answer I was looking for. Also, we don't see the type of larger 'dwelling' areas (like..euh... tel-el-Medina or Karnak, for example) found in the M-Necropolis. Even _just_ the 'small' site of Memphis (not the region....) seems more suited to a royal base than to a a city or town. Was there a palace there? We don't know - yet. So from the link you gave us, I was tossing around the idea of Qar being the overseer of the palace of Memphis - but where exactly? In the western 'enclosures', or directly on the site of the town/abode of Memphis (Nile plain loc.)?
I guess that would make more sense, wouldn't it! (Shoulda said that in the first place.) Sooooo.... to follow up... should a greater effort be made to directly look for a palace? I just think that a royal dwelling would have much more to offer... a more likely source for writings, artifacts...etc.
You've seen the overheads for those areas, correct? There are very obvious 'protrusions' and shapes under the sands (no, not the places where sand and debris have been moved! - this fools some people - not you, though...or me.) And because it IS Saqqara after all, this is the place that supposedly came before Giza - a source for more info on the development of funeral facades, pyramids, and temples. (And more, of course). I mean, every little piece helps.
Cheers,
Avry</HTML>
