| Abstract: | The
publication, linked to the data in the online database AKU-PAL,
discusses various aspects of ostraca with administrative hieratic script
from Ramesside times. The genre of administrative writing is considered
and the designation “necropolis journal” is rejected in favor of a more
inclusive reference to necropolis administration. The economy of the
writing process is analyzed especially in the form of economizing marks
and practices of abbreviation. Palaeographic peculiarities in the
composition of hieratograms are reviewed as well as text planning and
hints at the cognitive writing process. Finally, the handwritings of
three scribes are palaeographically reviewed. These aspects are embedded
in an overall review of the workflow of scribes in Deir el-Medina
during dynasties 19 and 20 and the question how they set up documents
and wrote down their administration. |
