Preliminary documentation of building dipinti from the temple of Tuthmosis III (2010/2011 season)

Summary/Abstract: Documentation of building dipinti from the Temple of Tuthmosis III in Deir el-Bahari, excavated more than 30 years ago by a Polish team from the PCMA UW, was aimed at identifying marks observed on the exposed blocks from the undisturbed temple structure. The most representative examples of dipinti types — six with subdivisions based on preliminary classification of the recorded epigraphic material — were selected for contextual, photographic and drawing recording. Altogether 222 building dipinti were identified on 167 of the examined limestone and sandstone blocks originally belonging to the structure. The research is carried out as part of the PCMA egyptological and conservation projects on the two temples, of Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III , in Deir el-Bahari.
