These location’s facades included rows of fired clay cones stamped with their owners’ names. Mutilated limestone “reserve heads” likely acted as “substitutes” within these locations, which in later periods, may have contained a flooded “Hall of Waiting.” A prototypical example of these locations belonged to Ty and unusually featured two serdab, which held statues visible through vertical wall slits. Djer and Aha’s tradition of retainer sacrifice at these locations (*) in Abydos likely evolved into the ushabti servant statue tradition of later periods. Palace facades inspired the false door’s design within the “chapels” of the mastaba, a type of these locations, where the ka consumed food upon exiting the Duat.

ANSWER: tombs [accept burial site or burial chambers; accept mastaba or mastabat; prompt on graves; prompt on necropolis; prompt on pyramids; prompt on offering chapels or mortuary chapels until read; prompt on mortuary temples until by asking “what locations were they adjacent to?] (Funerary cones were placed on the facades of Theban tomb chapels; The Hall of Waiting may have been used to deter tomb robbers.)
