The dig house, its history and its staff
The expedition house was built around 1930 by Lauer for Firth and has since been the
British house. The present expedition is allowed to use it because of its past links with the Egypt Exploration Society. The house is situated to the north of the Teti pyramid on the edge of the Saqqara plateau.
The domestic staff
The domestic staff consists of the brothers Atef and Amr, assisted by the houseboy Mohammed.
