Unisankh's tomb was built within the so-called Unis Cemetery-North
West, set between the funerary complexes of Netjerykhet and Unis in
Central Saqqara. Together with two adjoining tombs of the viziers
Ihy and Iynefert, it forms the core of the so-called Line A. The
Tomb of Unisankh was discovered and excavated by James E. Quibell,
then the chief inspector at Saqqara in 1908, for the purpose of the
sale of its chapel to the Chicago museum. The Tomb built of Tura
(or more precisely Maasara) limestone is an example of non-royal,
large, multi-roomed mastabas belonging to the highest officials of
the late Old Kingdom.
