SHEIKH ABD EL-GURNA. HERMITAGE IN TOMB 1152 AND CHAPEL IN TOMB 1151

Summary/Abstract: This season archaeological work at the site concentrated in the area north of the hermitage (already in front of Tomb 1151) and in the southern part of the monastic enclosure (in front of Tomb 1152 and inside it). The program covered examination of various parts of the core hermitage, coupled with an effort to understand the role in the monastic complex played by the neighboring Tomb 1151, which yielded modest evidence of secondary occupation by the monks. The two tombs are both from the Middle Kingdom and their axes are perpendicular to one another, the entrances some 40 m apart.
