Since many ostraca from the environs of Deir el-Medina lack specific
regnal year dates, dating them precisely is a tricky business. This
volume attempts to provide comparative datings for 78 ostraca (and
papyri) from the late XIXth dynasty. The method draws explicitly on the
division of the gang into two sides and, crucially, makes full use (for
the first time) of the specific ordering of workmen’s names to be found
in documentation from this period.
The archaeological
context of the important body of late XIXth dynasty material from the
Valley of the Kings is investigated and it is shown that the datings
proposed here on comparative grounds correlate strongly with the
grouping of the ostraca by excavation and find-site.
The
work is supported by a comprehensive index of the workmen by source and
a concordance comparing the datings suggested here with those from other
standard reference resources.
