The tomb published in this volume is the third large Late Period
shaft tomb that has been excavated in the south-western part of the
Abusir cemetery. It belongs to Menekhibnekau, who held a number of
important titles (among the "General," "Overseer of Libyans,"
"Overseer of the kbnwt-vessels," etc) under Ahmose II and may have
lived until the beginning of Dynasty 27. Although his tomb had been
robbed, a number of important and interesting pieces from his
burial equipment, including a seal of the necropolis and a faience
menit with the name of Ahmose II, have been found in his burial
chamber. In a separate shaft, large embalmer's cache has been found
that contained more than three hundred large storage vessels and a
number of smaller receptacles of different kind. On many of them,
short inscriptions were preserved that often mention materials used
during the mummification process including the presupposed dates of
their use. In the excursi, texts from the embalmer's deposit,
Phoenician and Aramaic inscriptions on a Phoenician storage jar and
a xylotomic analysis of wooden objects from the embalmer's deposit
are published. The religious texts and scenes that originally had
decorated the burial chamber should appear in the second volume of
this book (presently under preparation).
