Anthropological research has been going on at the archaeological concession of the Czech Institute of
Egyptology in Abusir for nearly 60 years. The first burials dated to the Old Kingdom, more specifically to
the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties (2510–2365 BC), were found in 1976. Nevertheless, it has taken almost to the
present time to gather more than two hundred skeletons needed to carry out a comprehensive study of the
Abusir skeletal sample. This task was preceded by the creation of the AnuBase, an extensive and detailed
database of anthropological data, and by the acquisition of a suitable depository space where the human
skeletal remains are stored.
