Abstract
The institute of Egyptology of Waseda University newly uncovered a tomb-chapel of the high official named Pashedw at the New Kingdom cemetery of the north Dahshur in the spring of 2002. The close observation of the remaining stone pavement and numerous incised preliminary lines on it revealed the whole superstructure consisted of an impressive portico at the front with four columns, a pylon gateway, a courtyard with tomb-shaft, a tripartite offering-chapel at the rear and a small pyramid at the western end, and that the plan is basically determined in multiples of the royal cubit (ca. 52.5cm). This structure would shed new light to the historical study on the development of tomb-style in the Memphite necropolis.
