In 1895–96, William Matthew Flinders Petrie and
James Edward Quibell discovered a shaft-tomb below the ‘Ramesseum', the
funerary temple of Ramses II at Thebes, Egypt. This is most famous for
having the largest group of Middle Kingdom papyri – also known as the
Ramesseum Papyri – found in a single spot together with a number of
distinctive objects, such as carved ivory tusks and miniature figurines
in various materials dated around XVIII century BC. Gianluca Miniaci
attempts to thoroughly reconstruct the archaeological context of the
tomb: the exact find spot (forgotten afterwards its discovery), its
architecture, the identity of its owner(s) and recipient(s) of the
assemblage of artefacts. A detailed analysis of the single artefacts –
provided for the first with full color photographic records and drawings
– and their network of relations gives new life to the Ramesseum
assemblage after more than a century from its discovery.
