Hieratic Ostraca of the Ramesside Period in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo: Documentation, Classification and Commentary HIERATIC OSTRACA OF THE RAMESSIDE PERIOD IN THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM, CAIRO: DOCUMENTATION, CLASSIFICATION AND COMMENTARY by ABDEL RAHMAN SALAH HAFEZ ABDEL SAMIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of MPhil in Egyptology Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity School of Historical Studies The Birmingham University October 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract We have dealt in this dissertation with 31 ostraca from the Valley of the Kings with various texts. They all attribute to Th. Davis and Carter/ Carnarvon’s excavations. They can classify into administrative, literary, Funny-signs and few jar labels. From this spectrum of contents, we may understand that the Valley of the Kings was not merely such sacred and inaccessible area surrounded by walls as used to be described by some scholars. Coordinated minor institutions may have probably based therein, being administered by a large headquarter settled somewhere in western Thebes. These small administrative stations were in charge of preparing works to be executed into some group of tombs in the vicinity. That can explain the reason why we find some artefacts of a certain king somewhere else other than the area where his tomb is located. An example of this phenomenon is the east foot-hill of KV 47 (King Siptah) where we have found a considerable number of artefacts for several kings whose tombs were in the nearby area of this king. The corpus of this research has revealed that workmen might have probably exploited the Valley of the Kings as a place where they could temporarily settle down. This hypothesis may be corroborated by the recent excavations which have discovered a wide-spread of huts throughout the main valley along with its lateral ones. The increase of workmen’s number which took place sometime during the ruling years of Ramses IV would have probably constricted the authority to build these huts as a sort of temporary inhabiting extension to the neighbouring settlement of Deir el Medina.

XXXI, fig. 31 Introduction As assistant curator in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, I have been charged to conduct several documentation processes on the unpublished material held by the museum. Prof. Dr. Mamdouh el-Damaty (the former General Director) had assigned me of the task of compiling an inventory registration of the uncatalogued hieratic ostraca spread throughout all departments of the Egyptian Museum. During the course of my search, it was rapidly revealed that there are great numbers of ostraca spread throughout different departments’ storage magazines along with those held in the basement storage area. They are quite diverse in terms of their scripts: hieroglyphic, hieratic, Demotic, Coptic, Greek and Aramaic ostraca. The bulk of these ostraca is stored in very poor conditions and most have never been systematically registered. Of all these unregistered ostraca, the hieratic ones predominate in terms of quantity. I estimate that there are considerably more than 1000 hieratic ostraca left out of a proper scientific treatment, excluding the high number of the same type in the basement. That has prompted me to put this issue on the table for taking serious action. At the beginning of the last century, G. Daressy had published a major group of hieratic ostraca from the Valley of the Kings,1 followed by J. Černy, who published another group, the majority of which is also from the Valley of the Kings.2 Since 1935, no-one has ever conducted a systematic study over the massive piles of hieratic ostraca left totally abandoned in the museum’s storage magazines. One of the chief reasons to conduct this study is that the ink of a great number of the ostraca has been dramatically effaced. This is a result of the elevated amount of humidity trapped in the Egyptian Museum. Dust mixed with moisture fills in the pores on the surface of a large number of ostraca and causes a dramatic disappearance of ink. The recovery of surviving texts is one of the primary aims of this study. If tangible action towards the salvage and conservation of this material is not expeditiously undertaken, there is a great risk in the nearest future of losing such important data that could well materially contribute to the existing knowledge of the Ramesside Period. The salvage process requires high interest and collaboration from all the concerned parties to 1Daressy 1901, passim. 2Černý 1935, passim. i document, at a highly scientific level, this material and bring it to the light in order that the ostraca can be systematically documented and returned to public display in the Egyptian Museum. Egyptian and international visitors alike would then be afforded the opportunity of seeing completely unknown material that has been long excluded from public viewing. Therefore, it is not only in the interests of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities to bring this unknown material to light but there also is likewise a broader, international need for documenting these objects, their data is in a state of great precariousness. This study is considered a part of a more extensive documentation process on the entire corpus of hieratic ostraca held in Cairo Museum. Of this large ware, we have selected 31 ostraca which may vary from each others in terms of contents. KVO 2, KVO 3, KVO 4, and KVO 11 can be classified as delivery accounts to certain items in the Valley of the Kings. Whereas KVO 1, KVO 7 and KVO 8 are lists of workmen absent or present on certain days, KVO 10, KVO 16 and KVO 28 are notes as preparation for coming works. Some literary religious texts are also represented in ostraca KVO 12, KVO 13 and KVO 15. The scribal exercises were also a common outcome in the Valley of the Kings. That has been demonstrated by KVO 14 which comprises some numbers written in vertical lines. On chief of all these various contents, there has come KVO 29 to demonstrate that there might have been some affiliated intuitions in the Valley of the Kings to fulfil the daily needs of such community of workmen. Our selection to such disparate textual types was carried out to give a picture of sustained and diverse activity of the workcrew within the Valley of the Kings extending beyond their basic work duties. The stela draft and other archaeological finds, discussed in the dissertation and found recently in the site, contribute effectively to this point of view. The catalogue part of this study (edition of texts) occupies the major part of this dissertation in terms of size. Each ostracon has been exposed with picture, facsimile and transcription; a detailed commentary accompanied with some philological aspects on the terminology used by scribes was integrated as well.

Abstract Piety, Practice, and Politics: Ritual and Agency in the Late Bronze Southern Levant by Dana Douglas DePietro Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Marian Feldman, Chair Striking changes in the archaeological record of the southern Levant during the final years of the Late Bronze Age have long fascinated scholars interested in the region and period. Attempts to explain the emergence of new forms of Canaanite material culture have typically cited external factors such as Egyptian political domination as the driving force behind culture change, relying on theoretical models of acculturation, elite-emulation and center-periphery theory. While these approaches can be useful in explaining some dimensions of culture-contact, they are limited by their assumption of a unidirectional flow of power and influence from dominant core societies to passive peripheries.

Gao 1,2,4 ✉ Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is an important safety concern for vaccine development against dengue virus (DENV) and its antigenically related Zika virus (ZIKV) because vaccine may prime deleterious antibodies to enhance natural infections. Cross-reactive antibodies targeting the conserved fusion loop epitope (FLE) are known as the main sources of ADE. We design ZIKV immunogens engineered to change the FLE conformation but preserve neutralizing epitopes. Single vaccination conferred sterilizing immunity against ZIKV without ADE of DENV-serotype 1–4 infections and abrogated maternal–neonatal transmis- sion in mice. Unlike the wild-type-based vaccine inducing predominately cross-reactive ADE-prone antibodies, B cell profiling revealed that the engineered vaccines switched immunodominance to dispersed patterns without DENV enhancement. The crystal structure of the engineered immunogen showed the dimeric conformation of the envelope protein with FLE disruption. We provide vaccine candidates that will prevent both ZIKV infection and infection-/vaccination-induced DENV ADE. IKV is a mosquito-borne pathogen belonging to the genus models12,13,19,20. More importantly, a recent study of pediatric cohorts Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae1.

Hence, they should be preserved from the different factors that might cause harm for their wall paintings. One of these factors is the excessive relative humidity as it increases the bacteria and fungus activity inside the tomb in addition to its effect on the mechanical and physical properties of materials. This chapter describes the Research work to design ventilation systems to some of these important tombs. The chapter aims to investigate, design, and implement controlled climate to the tombs of the valley of kings with complete monitoring of air properties, temperature, relative humidity and carbon oxides and air quality parameters mechanical distributions inside selected tombs of the valley of the kings that are open for visitors. A complete climate control and monitoring of air will be effected with the aid of a mechanical ventilation system extracting air at designated locations in the wooden raised floor of the tombs.
