"The results of our sixth season's excavations are of vital importance for the advancement of our knowledge of the religious and funerary ideas and customs of the Egyptians during the Old Kingdom. The discovery of the unique series of solar-boats belonging to the Second Pyramid Complex has added new and startling information on the subject. Furthermore, we have also brought to light many new offering-lists, which are of special interest for the study of this subject during the Old Kingdom ... My aim in doing this is to present the
results of the excavations in a scientific and comparative manner, and not to set down a series of dry, unrelated facts which do not serve to show relationship to, or influence upon the trend of Egyptian culture."

"The aim of this volume is to put before the reader a complete record of all the offering-lists of the Old Kingdom known up to the present day. We do not claim to have succeeded in collecting all the material
from all the world museums, but we have gathered many hitherto unpublished lists from our own excavations at Giza and Sakkara, as well as others from the excavations of Dr. Reisner at Giza. Neither do
we claim to have dealt fully with every item in the offering-list, for to do so would necessitate a comparative study of all the offering-lists ranging over the entire period of the Pharaonic regime - and this is
outside our scope. We have contented ourselves with discussing the material for the Old Kingdom as fully as our present limited knowledge of the Ancient Egyptian language will allow."
