Abstract

Archaeological investigations undertaken at the Mausoleum and the Tomb of False Door in 2005 in the Main Stelae Field, in Aksum, yielded two Aksumite metal cramps and an Aksumite main entrance to the Mausoleum. Furthermore, the archaeological clearances that were undertaken on the same structures made possible the conservation of the late fourth century AD Aksumite tombs and the opening of an ambulatory to the sealed Mausoleum.
