Ancient Egypt Research Mission of Waseda University carried out excavating investigations on the hill top at Abusir-south. This article deals with the reconstruction of the column erected in the eastern part of the architectural remains. It is proved that the column takes lotus-form with bundling six stems and is greatly similar to the columns of the mastaba of Ptahshepses in the Abusir pyramid area. The columns of the building on the hill top is supposed to have shaped with references to that of the mastaba, and is unique to adopt the revival of Old Kingdom style.
