| Tomb Z in Abydos, just west of Djer's tomb. The tomb is quite small -- 9.3 x 11.9 x. .8 m, and may have been intentionally burned, as only charred remnants of what may have been a wooden floor remain. There are 174 subsidiary burials nearby. |
| A huge mastaba in Saqqara is associated with Djet, and decorated with 400 bulls heads and genuine horns around the walls. This may be for a highly placed retainer to the king, not to the king himself. |

Mostly known by a stela with his name (that is displayed at
the Louvre in Paris, shown left), Wadj is attested to only by a few inscriptions
near Edfu and mentions of him in his wife, Merneith's, tomb. 
His tomb is different from his predecessors in that there are
small rooms surrounding the burial chamber that are within the
building itself, much like later mastabas. The grave chamber
was looted shortly after the burial, and the wooden roof and
lining of the rooms were set afire. They were restored later
(by Qa'a) and restocked with offering goods.
