Faience objects from the Tomb MMA 1152 at Sheikh Abd el-Gurna
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Excavations in the area of tomb MMA 1152 at Sheikh Abd el-Gurna, conducted since 2003, have uncovered a substantial set of faience objects coming from burials made there during the later Pharaonic Period, before the tomb became a hermitage for Coptic monks. Analysis of the material points to several episodes of reuse of the original Middle Kingdom structure in the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period.<br/><br/>
