Two Child Mummies From Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt): A Paleoradiological Case‐Based Study
This study presents a paleoradiological analysis of two mummified children from Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt), dated to the Middle Kingdom and the Late Period. High‐resolution computed tomography (CT) was used to assess embalming methods, skeletal development, and internal preservation. The Middle Kingdom mummy exhibited minimal soft tissue retention, no transnasal excerebration, and no evidence of resin or packing—features consistent with early,…
CT 335 on the Head Side of Inner Coffin A7A From Qubbet el-Hawa (QH31/15/S5/UE21/30)
A new witness of a part of the CT 335 spell, the most frequent of Coffin Text spells as far as we know, has recently been found on the head (north) side of an inner coffin from the tomb QH31 at Qubbet el-Hawa. The coffin might belong to a woman and has been archaeologically dated from the twelfth dynasty. This paper discusses the archaeological context of the coffin, its materiality, some peculiarities of the text and the script, and proposes the…
Skeletal lesions consistent with tuberculosis in an adolescent from Qubbet el-Hawa, Aswan, Egypt (Late Period, 664–525 BCE)
Tuberculosis has been well established in Ancient Egypt and is defined as an endemic disease during dynastic times. In several tombs of the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa (QH) in Aswan, Egypt, unequivocal cases of tuberculosis (Pott’s disease) have been identified in adults. Additionally, the remains of an adolescent (approximately 14 years old), dated to the Late Period (664–525 BCE), were discovered in tomb QH33, exhibiting a possible multifocal …
Cranial injuries in ancient Egypt: Three cases of interpersonal violence in the dynastic necropolis of Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt)
Violence seems to have been a constant in Egyptian history, as attested by documentary sources. The material culture also reflects this state of violence; however, anthropological findings, although present, are not as numerous as might be expected. In the present study, we analyze the injuries found in three crania (New Kingdom, 1500–1070 BCE) from the necropolis of Qubbet el‐Hawa, near the island of Elephantine (Aswan, Egypt). All three cases a…
De tumba a iglesia. Análisis arqueológico y arquitectónico del complejo funerario del Reino Antiguo (QH34h) y su transformación en iglesia cristiana bizantina en la necrópolis de Qubbet el Hawa (Asuán…
El yacimiento arqueológico de Qubbet el-Hawa alberga una de las mayores necrópolis del sur de Egipto. En ella se enterraron los altos dignatarios y los nobles que gobernaron la provincia más meridional de Egipto desde el Reino Antiguo (al menos la VI dinastía) hasta el Reino Medio (Dinastía XII). Se han llegado a documentar más de 70 hipogeos, alguno de los cuales aún siguen sin ser investigados en profundidad. El trabajo que aquí presentamos tra…
A Gynecological Treatment Found in Qubbet el-Hawa and Described in Different Papyri
The present paper discusses the finding of an hemispherical drinking cup between the heads of the femurs of a lady identified as Sattjeni A in a Late 12th Dynasty tomb in Qubbet el-Hawa, which has been catalogued as 34aa. The woman suffered a traumatic injury in her pelvis, which provoked her pain, sterility and iatrogenic pain. The presence of the ceramic with remains of organic material with evident signs of combustion is compared to similar tr…
Dental research using intraoral techniques with portable digital radiography adapted for fieldwork in Qubbet el-Hawa (Egypt)
Three‐dimensional modelling of large archaeological sites using images obtained from masts. Application to Qubbet el‐Hawa site (Aswan, Egypt)
Three‐dimensional (3D) modelling of archaeological sites has recently undergone a great development due to the implementation of new acquisition devices and techniques and new processing algorithms. One of the most noteworthy of these is the use of unmanned aerial systems for lifting acquisition devices such as digital cameras to model sites based on photogrammetric techniques. Despite the development and wide use of these systems there are some …
Ipi, a new governor of Elephantine under Amenemhat II
In the 1980s and 1990s, both Labib Habachi and Detlef Franke published their own genealogies of the governors who ruled the First Upper Egyptian nome during the Twelfth Dynasty and the beginning of the Thirteenth Dynasty. Since their studies, there has not been any significant change to those reconstructions. The main aim of the present paper is to add a new governor to both sequences, named Ipi, who would have ruled under Amenemhat II. This new …
A Forgotten Governor of Elephantine during the Twelfth Dynasty: Ameny
The present article analyses different epigraphic material from Elephantine for the reconstruction of the sequence of governors of the first nome of Upper Egypt during the reigns of Senwosret I and Amenemhat II. Detlef Franke, in a study of the local cult of Heqaib, established a line of succession from the reign of Senwosret I until the first third of the Thirtieth Dynasty. However, in this study he did not discuss a graffito discovered by Labib…
Sattjeni: Daughter, Wife and Mother of the Governors of Elephantine during the End of the Twelfth Dynasty
For the last six years a multidisciplinary team of the Universidad de Jaén has been working in some of the funerary complexes of the second half of the Twelfth Dynasty in Qubbet el-Hawa. The present paper analyzes new material found in the funerary complex called QH33 and dated to that period. One of the new pieces of evidence is a ceramic with a hieratic inscription in which is mentioned a certain woman named Sattjeni and described with the titl…
Different Individuals Named Khunes in the Cataract Region
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the epigraphic data which contains the name of Khunes, recently enriched with some inscriptions from the island of Sehel. One of the texts can surely be dated to the reign of Pepy I. This has provoked some confusion among scholars with regard to chronology. Most of the inscriptions contain the name of Khunes, and these were identified with a single individual who should have been lived under the reign of P…
