Abstract
The paper discusses results of recent archaeological work in the area to the south and north of the Niuserre valley temple in Central Abusir. Masonry recently unearthed, by the Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Charles University provides new information regarding the ground plan of the eastern-most part of Niuserre's pyramid complex, in the area around its valley temple.
It also raises new questions, mainly regarding the function of the newly discovered wall. This issue is also discussed in the wider scope of other valley temples of the pyramid complexes dated to the Old Kingdom.
