Doug:

I have the entire publication in hard copy form, but I am unclear which article you want. The Khufu's National Project article is by Zahi Hawass, not Stadelmann, while Stadelmann's article in Janosi's work is concerning the Seti I mortuary temple at Gurna.

Hawass basically rehashes much of Stadelmann's theories about the Great Pyramid, but I can't seem to find any specific reference to Sneferu's regnal length within the article, but to Khufu's regnal length.

However, in this citation (Hawass 2006: 309, N. 9) of the article, Hawass references this work

Stadelmann, R. 1987. Beiträge zur Geschichte des Alten Reiches. Die Länge der Regierung des Snofru. MDAIK 43: 229-240.

as a means of support to argue that Khufu's reign lasted 46 years.

AEB Summary: Unter Berücksichtigung der Bautätigkeit der Könige der 4. Dynastie muss man für Snofru mindestens 44, wenn nicht 48 Jahre erwarten. Dieser Ansatz wird mit den Angaben der Königslisten verglichen. Eine Steinmarke von der Roten Pyramide mit Angabe des 24. Mals könnte den höheren Ansatz bestätigen.

I suspect it's the MDAIK article you want, not Hawass' or Stadelmann's in the Janosi publication.
