Textos e imágenes sobre textiles de la dinastía XXII de la tumba UE 1018 en Dra Abu el-Naga

In 2017 and 2018, the Proyecto Djehuty has documented in a tomb of the early Middle Kingdom at Dra Abu el-Naga the burial of several individuals linked to the priesthood and the Domain of Amun of the Twenty-Second Dynasty. Among the artefacts found there, a group of textiles stands out. A first group includes the name and titles of the owner along with a year of reign. In another, unlike the previous one, only the titles and the identity of their owners are recorded. Thirdly, there are marks and signs of laundry or weaving in some of the pieces of the preceding types and others that only include a similar kind of notation. In addition, among the objects that formed part of the burial goods are two groups of artefacts: shrouds with a large figure of Osiris and texts referring to the deity and its owner and braces with leather ends where a king is offering before a deity. The analysis and preliminary contextualization of this evidence allow for a better understanding of the social profile and funeral practices of the individuals buried in Dra Abu el-Naga in the Third Intermediate Period.
