Stamped bricks of Amenhotep I from Deir el-Bahari

Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 2

Abstract

Stamped bricks with the names of the king Amenhotep I and his mother, queen Ahmes Nefertari, were found throughout Deir el-Bahari, including the Temple of Hatshepsut investigated by a mission from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology University of Warsaw. All of the bricks came from the edifice raised by Amenhotep I at Deir el-Bahari that was demolished before the construction of the mortuary temple Djeser-djeseru and then reused in a structure that emerged at the same time or later<br/><br/>
