The local geodetic network was built over a period of 17 years, with the main phase in the 1980s (Procházka – Vachala 2003: 70–82). Two key points of this network were 5011T on the mastaba of Kaaper (AS 1) and 5000N on the top of the pyramid of Neferirkare. In 1991, the geodetic control network comprised 51 points, despite the repeated destruction of some of them. Most of the previous missions in the Abusir and Saqqara area had also opted for a local surveying network (Jeffreys – Tavares 2000). The network, consisting of 23 established control points, was re-measured and updated in 2001. The corpus of key points is used in all three parts of the concession, Abusir South (AS), Abusir Centre (AC) and Abusir West (AW). A new chapter of the surveying of Abusir started in 2001 in cooperation with the Laboratory of Geoinformatics of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, with a wide application ...

However, many of their topographical and archaeological features remain unclear, especially as regards the identification of the four missing sun temples, which are documented in textual sources of the time but have been never located. The present article wishes to further our knowledge of the sacred landscape of the area during the Fifth Dynasty thanks to the combined analysis of archaeological data, the historical cartography of the area, and new remote sensed imagery.

The archaeological research was planned to reexamine the monument after its discovery in 1898. The work was mainly aimed at a general evaluation of the archaeological structures, still visible, in order to establish an updated plan of the temple. More than 100 scans and several 3D models by close-range photogrammetry have been acquired, processed and integrated to virtually reconstruct the archaeological area. To manage all available 3D datasets, allowing to propose new hypothesis about the monument, a BIM has been developed. Thanks to this approach different categories of environmental and technological objects have been created and analysed. The paper deals with the recent achievements, especially regarding the hierarchical conceptualisation of the architectural components. In particular, the contribution dwells on the analysis of the monument starting from the identification of a parametric library built on the semantic decomposition of the 3D replica.

re‑evaluation of the archaeological data still available on the site, in order to establish a new plan of the temple. More than
100 scans and several 3D models by digital photogrammetry have been acquired. In order to make all 3D data sets for different
targets available, a Building Information Modelling (BIM) project has been developed. Thanks to this new approach, currently
underdeveloped in archaeology, it is possible to produce categories of environmental and technological objects which represent
the 3D semantic of the model. The paper deals with all the recent achievements, especially regarding the conceptualisation of
the architectural model.
