INTRODUCTION
THE record of excavation at Thebes is one of the most confused pages in the history of Egyptological research. From the time of Napoleon almost every archaeological expedition included this site in its activities, and until definite concessions were granted to recognized authorities by the Egyptian Government the whole necropolis was a happy hunting-ground for all and sundry, precise details of the positions of tombs or objects discovered being now often un­ obtainable. It has, however, been found possible to arrange the material in topographical divisions, with plans of known cemeteries, and to assemble the finds of uncertain provenance in a general section at the end.
The numbered tombs having been dealt with in Part 1, the present volume completes the catalogue of inscribed monuments from Thebes, apart from the standing temples dealt with in Volume II. According to our usual practice we proceed from north to south, taking first the Tombs of the Kings and the desert valleys, then the sites and cemeteries nearer the Nile, beginning with the Antef Cemetery in the extreme north (Section Ill), and ending with the Palace of Amenophis Ill south of Medinet Habu (Section XI). Graffiti are mentioned at the end of the sections where they occur.
Certain sites and discoveries dealt with briefly in the first edition have been considerably expanded, notably the Antef and Dynasty XVII Cemeteries, the Royal Cache in tomb 320, the finds at Deir el-Medina, and the Palace of Amen­ ophis Ill. The great caches of coffins belonging to the Priests of Monthu and of Amun are now set out in full, including details of the remaining coffins from the latter prepared by Chassinat for the second part of La Seconde Trouvaille. In addition two completely new features have been introduced: the inscribed finds from various excavation expeditions (many still unpublished), and a catalogue of museum objects of probable Theban origin. The excavations include those of Mariette, Petrie, Northampton, and Carnarvon-Carter, at Dra' Abu el-Naga', the 'Asasif, and the Ramesseum; the American expeditions of Philadelphia University, the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Chicago Oriental Institute; the Berlin Museum concession south of the Rames­ seum; and the work of the French Institute at Deir el-Medina.
In order to make the references as comprehensive as possible and to include all known material, it was essential to consult the excavation files and photo­ graphs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Philadelphia University Museum. The Journal d'Entree and other records in the Cairo Museum were also examined, and notes taken of unpublished objects in many other museums, much verbal information being received from colleagues. The collections of manuscripts referred to in previous volumes are again included, with the addi­ tion of the Howard Carter notes in the Griffith Institute, and Sir Alan Gardiner's notebooks on the private tombs (see Supplement A, infra, p. xviii).
A short summary of the various sections may be found useful. I. V ALLEY OF THE KINGS. The arrangement adopted for the private tombs
has been followed here (and also for the Queens), including descriptions of
xiv INTRODUCTION
unpublished scenes. For the inscribed finds from the tomb of Tut<ankhamiin, special treatment has been necessary. The wall-scenes, and the sarcophagus with its appendages found in situ, have been dealt with first, while the rest of the inscribed objects have been arranged under categories, with references to Carter's excavation numbers, and to the Cairo Museum numbers, when possible. The Workmen's Rest-houses and shrines on the pass between Deir el-Bal).ri and the V alley of the Kings, and a brief summary of the graffiti, are also included in this section.
II. SouTH-WEST VALLEYS. These remote valleys in the desert behind the Valley of the Queens were thoroughly explored by Carter in I915-17; this section includes the South tomb of I;:Iatshepsut, the treasure from the Eighteenth Dynasty princesses' tomb now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as general references to the large number of graffiti in this area.
Ill. DRA' ABu EL-NAGA'. The northern part of the Theban necropolis has been the chief source of antiquities over a long period. It has therefore been found convenient to deal first with known sites (the Antef Cemetery at El-'faraf, the Dynasty XVII Cemetery below the Dra' Abu el-Naga' cliffs, and the various excavation expeditions, arranged roughly in topographical order), and after­ wards with unspecified finds.
IV. 'As.AsiF. This comprises the confused area round the Causeways of the Deir el-Bal).ri Temples, where Passalacqua and Lepsius discovered several Middle Kingdom tombs, and which was later assigned to the Carnarvon-Carter and the Metropolitan Museum of Art expeditions. (The Valley Temple of I;:Iatshepsut and the Ramesside temples near the end of the Causeways will be dealt with in Volume II.) Also included are intrusive finds from the private tombs in the 'Asasif and Khokha.
V. DiiiR EL-BAI;IRI. This area being dominated by the two existing temples, the various cemeteries excavated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and others have been grouped round them, and their positions shown on the plans. Among the finds in the Eighteenth Dynasty Temple area are the two great caches of coffins of the Priests of Monthu and of Amun, discovered in 1858 and 1891 respectively; most of the objects are in the Cairo Museum, but a number of coffins, wooden stelae, &c., have been dispersed to museums and private collec­ tions all over the world, and it has not been possible to trace them all. Several burials of the Twenty-first to Twenty-sixth Dynasties have also been discovered in the temple precincts, notably the tombs of the priests and priestesses near the tomb of Nofru in the Court, and the coffins found in the Middle and Upper Colonnades by N aville and Baraize. The cemeteries connected with the Mentul).otp Temple include the pits of princesses excavated by Naville and Hall.
VI. V ALLEYS SouTH OF DEIR EL-BAI;IRI TEMPLES. This section consists chiefly of the famous cache of royal coffins discovered in tomb 320 in 188I, now in the Cairo Museum. There are also some minor tombs in the two other valleys excavated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
VII. SHEIKH 'ABD EL-QURNA AREA. Here we are chiefly concerned with objects from uninscribed tombs, notably that of the parents of Senenmut in the Metropolitan Museum of Art concession, the graves excavated by Rhind in
INTRODUCTION XV
I855-7, together with coffins from the so-called 'Prince of Wales' tomb of the time of Bocchoris and Tefnakht, and from the Roman pit found by Lebolo in I823, both of which must have been in this area.
VIII. RAMESSEUM AREA. This site is comparatively simple, being almost entirely confined to the Dynasty XXII tombs in the brick buildings round the temple excavated by Petrie and Quibell in 1896-7, and the results of the Berlin Museum expeditions in the area south of the Ramesseum in I9I 1 and I9I3.
IX. DEIR EL-MEDINA. The French Institute volumes recording Monsieur Bruyere's work on this site from I922 to I95I are the most complete publication of excavations in the Theban necropolis. The numbered tombs have already been dealt with in Part I, and here we give a summary of the other buildings and finds, including the Sanctuary of Pta}:l and Mertesger on the way to the Valley of the Queens. A number of objects now in museums, which presumably came from this area, are grouped in categories at the end of the section.
X. V ALLEY OF THE QuEENS. The numbered tombs are arranged in the usual way, and equated with those described by Champollion and Lepsius when possible. These are followed by the unnumbered tombs and pits, some coffins of unspecified provenance found by Schiaparelli, now in Turin Museum, and a few graffiti.
XI. MEDINET HABU. The first part of this section consists of the tombs and chapels excavated by the University of Chicago Oriental Institute in the temple area, including everything which is not connected with the standing temples dealt with in Volume II, while the second part contains the large Palace-City of El-Malqata south of the temple enclosure excavated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also recorded are the remains of a small sun-temple near Deir el-Shelwit found by the Tytus expedition in 1902.
XII. OBJECTS FROM THEBES. A large number of monuments said to come from Thebes, or from internal evidence probably of Theban origin, are now in museums and private collections, and although their provenance is often un­ certain it seemed useful to include them in this record. They are arranged in categories: statues, stelae, reliefs, and coffins, each in alphabetical order of museums, and then chronologically, followed by offering-tables and smaller inscribed objects.
Supplements and Indexes. At the beginning of this volume is a list of errata in Part I and supplements containing additional material since publication in I96o, and at the end are the usual indexes, including one of museum objects and another of excavators with the dates of their work in Thebes.
In preparing the present volume we are even more indebted than usual to our colleagues, especially the staffs of the many museums visited. The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art most generously provided us with plans of their excavation sites at Deir el-Ba}:lri and of the Palace of Amenophis Ill, and with answers to innumerable questions over a period of years. We are also grateful for permission to examine their excavation records and photographs, and those in Philadelphia, University Museum, as well as the photographic records of the Chicago Oriental Institute at Luxor. For the Royal tombs Monsieur Piankoff

has supplied much valuable information, and for Deir el-Medina we have received additional details from Monsieur Bruyere. We again wish to thank Professor Cerny, who has given much time and thought to our constantly recurring problems, and our assistants, Miss Helen Murray, Mrs. Yeaxlee, and Mrs. Raisman, for their skilled help. We are most grateful to all of them, and also, as before, to the Oxford University Press.
Finally one word concerning nomenclature to the users of this volume. In spite of much revision it has proved impossible to avoid inconsistencies, but for the most part we have followed the spelling of names in Part I and in previous volumes, and we hope that the indexes of Kings and individuals will serve as a guide in this direction. Owing to the various theories of dating we have avoided numbering the Antefs and Mentul:10tps, but give their full names instead.
The preparation of a new edition of Volume II is now well advanced, and any suggestions for improvements or special indexes will be gratefully received.
