DJET

Here we find the new tradition of vertical registers arrangement and the first appearance of the sign rnpt standing for 'year of...'.
The recently found Djet 16 is still in the horizontal registers fashion. Djet 17 is an uncommon ink label with different products amounts listed (cfr. the similar plaque of Djesrty Ankh -Sekhemkhet- with a list of linen).
Note that pieces n.6, 12,13,14,15,17, but especially 14,17 could also be later : Tomb S3505 was in fact restored by Qa'a, although first built for Sekhemka, under Djet's own reign.
