Document:
About Princesses and Robbers. New research in the Kings’ Valley.
The lecture will present recent results from the investigations of the University of Basel Kings’ Valley Project. Research focusses on so far unknown tombs from the 18th dynasty that were prepared for members of the royal family and entourage. Although badly looted by antique and modern robbery, the fragmentary funerary equipment opens new insight into burial practices and social structures at pharaoh’s court.
After the introduction of the camel into Egypt by the Persians, it became the most important beast of burden in the first millennium CE. They were used by the Roman military, for transport to the quarries and ports of the eastern desert, and by monasteries throughout the country.
In the biography of Saint Menas, it was a camel that determined where he was to be buried, where his cult site was established, and afterwards camels became a standard element on Menas pilgrim flasks.
The importance of camels within a monastic context lies at the heart of my paper: the roles camels played, who was responsible for their care, and who benefited from their by-products. The majority of this evidence comes from the 7th and 8th centuries, and is found at sites throughout the Nile Valley.
The so called “Burnt Groups” were unearthed during the 1889 – 1890 autumn season carried out by W.M.F. Petrie in the New Kingdom site of Gurob. These assemblages constitute groups of objects deliberately burnt and then buried under the floor of structures related to the harim-palace. Since the discovery of the “Burnt Groups”, many theories have been formulated regarding their meaning and most of the hypotheses have implied non-Egyptian rituals for their explanation, based also on the presence of a large amount of Eastern Mediterranean pottery in these assemblages. The deep fascination of Petrie for the presence of resident foreigners at Gurob has played a major role in influencing the study of these assemblages. This lecture will present the results of the complete reassessment of these assemblages in the light of a recent analysis of all the available archaeological and documentary materials.
v. Dr. Jennifer Cromwell, postdoc ToRS, Københavns Universitet The monastic complex of Apa Thomas at Wadi Sarga, 25km south of Asyut, was excavated during a single season in 1913-14. No further archaeological work has occurred at the site, which is now a military zone. Our knowledge of the history of the monastery and its daily affairs is therefore restricted to the material remains discovered during that single, pre-War, season. This paper will provide an overview of renewed work that is being undertaken on this evidence from the monastery, the majority of which is held by the British Museum, and the potential for further study.

The Belgian Archaeological Mission in the Theban Necropolis, v. Dr Dimitri Laboury, Senior Research Associate of the FNRS, Associate Professor University of Liège.
The Belgian Archaeological Expedition has since 1999 undertaken the study, publication, and conservation of the Theban tombs, TT 29 of the vizier Amenemope and TT 96 of his alleged brother Sennefer, “prince” of the city of Thebes. In 2009, the funerary structure TT C3 was discovered, the lost tomb of Amenhotep, deputy and son-in-law of an overseer of seal-bearers of the reign of Thutmose III, Senneferi (TT 99), and in 2013, in the courtyard of TT C3, the mud-brick pyramid of the vizier Khay, of the time of Ramses II. The lecture will present the main results of the research undertaken by the expedition, with a special focus on the historical and art-historical exploitation that can be made of those monuments.
v. cand. mag. Anne-Christine Valentine Schnoor.
Deir el-Medina var beboet af de veluddannede håndværkere, der byggede kongegravene i Kongernes Dal, og deres familier. De levede et isoleret liv og var derved også isoleret fra templerne og præsteskabet, som ved deres opretholdelse af den religiøse kult hjalp til opretholdelsen af kosmos. Indbyggerne i Deir el-Medina var derfor nødt til at være kreative, hvis de ønskede kult-praksis. Foredraget handler om det usædvanlige præsteskab, der servicerede kapellerne i Deir el-Medina, og hvordan den religiøse kult foregik der.
v. cand. mag. Amanda Berntsen.
I bjergene omkring Kongernes Dal og Deir el-Medina findes graffiti i tusindevis efterladt af de mennesker, der havde deres daglige gang i området. Amanda har i forbindelse med sit speciale været på feltarbejde i de Thebanske bjerge, og foredraget omhandler graffiti efterladt af de tre skrivere Ramose, Qenherkhepshef og Butehamun fra Deir el-Medina i det Ny Rige. Hun vil komme ind på, hvad de kan fortælle os i kraft af deres geografiske placering i området. Desuden skal vi høre om selve begrebet graffiti, den ægyptologiske forskningshistorie knyttet til emnet samt vores viden om de tre skrivere fra historiske kilder.ters første erfaring som arkæolog, der endte som en ren fiasko.
