English summary: The archaeological exploration of El-Deir (Kharga
Oasis, Western Egyptian desert) was undertaken by a French team,
starting in 1998. During the course of the ten years of work on the
site, five necropolises were discovered. A first ensemble is
presented in this volume, which will be followed by five more. The
study of the human remains, skeletal and mummified, is combined
with analysis of the material constituting the funerary furnishings
wood, basketry, ceramics, textiles. These studies contain a wealth
of information on a local population whose funerary customs, which
can be observed from the Persian period to the 5th century AD,
completely belong to the Egyptian tradition. The tombs, mirrors of
everyday life, clearly show the differences of lifestyle within
this population, which on the whole led modest lives of agriculture
and handcraft. French text. French description: L'exploration
archeologique du site dEl-Deir (oasis de Kharga, desert occidental
d'Egypte) a ete entreprise par une equipe francaise en 1998. Au
cours de dix annees de travail sur le site, cinq necropoles ont ete
decouvertes. Un premier ensemble est presente dans ce volume, qui
sera suivi de cinq autres. Letude des restes humains, momies et
squelettes, est associee a celle du materiel constituant le
mobilier des tombes, bois, vannerie, ceramique, textiles. Ces
etudes apportent une quantite dinformations sur une population
locale dont les usages funeraires, observables sur une longue duree
(de lepoque perse aux IVe - Ve siecle de notre ere) sinscrivent
tout a fait dans la tradition egyptienne. Les tombes, miroir de la
vie quotidienne, mettent en evidence les differences de niveau de
vie au sein de cette population, dans lensemble modeste, dont les
activites etaient principalement agricoles et artisanales.
