Egypt
New finds at Saqqara dating to Ramess II and Djoser
State Information Service
This is a not untypically vague statement on the SIS website, but here it is for what it's worth. Hopefully something else will appear to clarify the issue.
An Egyptian archeological mission discovered stones and sarcophaguses at a cemetery dating back to Ramsis II in the Sakara district. Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Dr Zahi Hawwas said among the discoveries was a sarcophagus of a woman hailing from the royal doctor at the time. The mission also recovered a big stone, which served as a foundation for the cemetery, along with 50 stones inscribed with the name of King Zoser, his wife and daughter.
