The article discusses different kinds of depositions in their specific contexts, such as in temples, cemeteries and settlements. In the focus of this paper are depositions consisting mainly of pottery vessels which are much more common than precious objects but which are often more difficult to differentiate from mere waste. Depositions in connection to tombs are especially diverse and reflect rituals in addition to thosse otherwise known from texts and wall paintings. A case study is dedicated to depositions encountered to the south of the tomb of Djer at Abydos that most probably was arranged during the funeral and which was respected as a sacred place during the whole pharaonic history.
