Australian Centre for Egyptology report 10, 1998

The book presents the results of the excavations and epigraphic recording conducted at the site of a large tomb that is situated to the west of the Red Monastery, Sohag. Inscriptions clearly date the structure to the reign of Tutankhamun and the investigations at the site point to the tomb having been intended for two 'Overseers of Nurses'. The senior of these is a man called Sennedjem, who, in addition to the title 'Overseer of Nurses' also held high titles such as Prince, Count/Mayor, Fanbearer on the right of the King, God's father; his companion, who only holds the title 'Overseer of Nurses', is called Senged. Senged is also known from a very fine stone anthropoid sarcophagus, recently discovered at Saqqara. This important monument is also published here for the first time.
The book concludes with a synthesis of the history of the site and seeks to place the tombs' original owners within the context of the turbulent years of the Late Eighteenth Dynasty, following upon the death of Tutankhamun.
