En 1977, un equipo del Institut d'Estudis del Pròxim Orient Antic de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona llevó a cabo allí una breve prospección arqueológica y, en 2005, uno de los autores estudió la epigrafía y la iconografía de una serie de 57 bloques o fragmentos de bloques de piedra caliza y 5 fragmentos de granito que el Inspectorado de Saqqara había recuperado del yacimiento en 1999 y había guardado en el almacén de El-Mohemat, en Saqqara. La epigrafía de Kom el Khamasín indica que el yacimiento es una pequeña necrópolis de finales del Reino Antiguo y-probablemente-principios del Primer Período Intermedio. El personaje más importante enterrado allí es un tal Imephor-Impy, «Grande de los jefes de los artesanos», es decir, Primer sacerdote de Ptah en Menfis. Kom el-Khamasin: Archaeology and Epigraphy The site of Kom el-Khamaseen is located in south Saqqara, very far in the desert, about 3 km west from the pyramid of Djedkare Isesi. In 1997 a team from the Institut d'Estudis del Pròxim Orient Antic of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona carried out a brief archaeological survey there and in 2005 one of the authors studied the epigraphy and the iconography of a series of 57 limestone blocks or block fragments and 5 little granite fragments which the Saqqara Inspectorate had recovered from the site in 1999 and kept in the El-Mohemat magazine in Saqqara. The epigraphy of Kom el-Khamaseen shows us that the site is a little cemetery dated to the end of the Old Kingdom and-probably-the beginning of the First Intermediate Period. The most impotant character buried here is a certain Imephor-Impy, «Great of the chiefs of craftmen», that is to say, Great priest of Ptah at Memphis.

Ces travaux sur le noyau urbain de Karima ont permis de connaître un nouveau centre religieux lié, sans doute, au site de Gebel Barkal.
