Prosopographic Study Of The New Kingdom

A Prosopographic Study of the New Kingdom Tomb Owners of Dra Abu el-Naga contains the dating, kinship data and titles for each tomb owner of a total of 54 tombs located in the southern area and the beginning of the northern one of the Theban cemetery of Dra Abu el-Naga during the New Kingdom. For each tomb owner information related to chronology, ancestors, siblings, wives, children, relatives, and career-titles, has been compiled, and kinship diagrams have been created where possible. In order to obtain these data, all the published and unpublished material related to the tombs’ owners in museums and archives all over the world has been consulted. The book will prove of great assistance as a handbook or catalogue for scholars and students intending to conduct research on New Kingdom Dra Abu el-Naga or the surroundings areas of the Theban necropolis as a base for the study of prosopography and kinship relationships. A short introduction to the study explains the utility of the data and the methodology used to gather the information.
