The current study describes the Archaeological pottery shreds which were found in the
excavation made by the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) in Saqqara regions in the
western side of the pyramid of Djoser. To perform this study, several analytical
instruments were used; including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–
energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS)., Physical and mineralogical analyses were
made by using the thermal behavior (thermo gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal
analysis (DTG). The results of these analyses allow the establishment of conclusions about
several aspects of their manufacture, It was found out that the discovered shreds comprise a
group of the pottery sarcophagus that belong to the Greco Roman period (570-525B.C). It
was, also, found that the texture of the pottery was made using a large quantity of medium to
coarse plant residues which is one of the most characteristic features of Nile fabrics. The
color of the pottery fracture is reddish on the outer part of the wall of the Serco but is black in
the middle. The firing temperature was uneven and the hardness of the pottery was medium.
The sarcophagus was handmade shaping. All these characteristics belong to the Nile C group.
The sarcophagus was fully restored, including cleaning, constructing, completing and coloring.
