EGYPT, THEBES, TOMBS, ARCHIVES, PHOTOGRAPHYFrom Archaeological Researches to Archives. Survey and study of Theban tombs of the Egyptian XVIIIth Dynasty documented in the Archives Loret - Varille (1881-1951) of the University of Milano and in other egyptological Archives
Università degli Studi di MilanoAbstract
Starting point of the project has been the search of documents concerning a choice of Theban tombs of the first half of the XVIII dynasty, down to the reign of Amenhotep III, kept in the Egyptological Archives of the Milan University, which can be considered among the most important Egyptological Archives in Europe. Here are preserved over 50000 images, coming especially from the archives of Alexandre Varille (1909-1951) and Victor Loret (1859-1946), together with sketches, watercolours, fac-similar of texts, notes, etc. made in Egypt between 1881 and 1951. In 2004, their systematic ordering began, together with their cataloguing and digitalisation, in view of the creation of an electronic archive.Among the around 350 Theban tombs of the XVIII dynasty, a group of 45 tombs to analyze has been selected, on the basis of a first survey of their present state, and the check in the Milan Archives of the presence of graphic and photographic documentation related to them.
This material, that at a first inventory result to include more than 1000 photos and hundreds of other documents, is related to tombs both well known, as for instance TT48, and unpublished or nearly unknown, as for instance TT248. There are some particular remarkable cases, such as the complete photographic mapping of TT57, of Khaemhat, or the numerous photos of TT192, of Kheruef.
For each tomb, we are carrying on an extensive bibliographical research, from the first excavations to the actual >>>

1. Search of documents concerning a choice of Theban tombs of the first half of the XVIII dynasty, down to the reign of Amenhotep III, kept in the Egyptological Archives of the Milan University, which can be considered among the most important Egyptological Archives in Europe. In 2004, their systematic ordering began, together with their cataloguing and digitalisation, in view of the creation of an electronic archive which will be the first objectif of the present research.The following are the Theban tombs on which we will work. Their number could be reduced according to the financing and the time requested for a full examination of the documentation:
TT 66 (Hepu); TT 69 (Menna); TT76 (Tjenuna); TT77 (Ptahemhat); TT 108 (Nebseny); TT258 (Menkheper); TT 54 (Huy); TT 78 (Horemheb); TT90 (Nebamon); TT91 (anonymous); TT295 (Djehutymes Pary); TT 46 (Rames); TT 47 (Userhat); TT48 (Amenemhat); TT 57 (Khaemhat); TT89 (Amenmes); TT107 (Nefersekheru); TT120 (Anen); TT139 (Pairy); TT161 (Nakht); TT253 (Khnummes); TT294 (Amenhotep); TT 192 (Kheruef).
On these tombs we already found more than 1000 photos and hundreds of documents in the Archive of the Milan University.
In an advanced phase of the research, all the documents related to the Theban tombs have to be stored in a correct archival way, in specific containers for the conservation. All of them have to be digitalized and available on the data base.
2. Researches in other Egyptological >>>
Timescale
24 monthsNational and international background
The first studies and excavations in the Theban necropolis date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and most of the around 650 royal and private tombs have already been published. Especially during the last decades, studies, excavations and recovery and restauration works in the tombs of the Theban necropolis have been carried out with great intensity, although a lot still remains to do. Many tombs have been re-studied, or are presently under investigation. However, a smaller, but still significant number is still waiting to be investigated. These are often unfinished hypogea, or badly preserved ones. Our information about them is often derived from old surveys which could turn out to be partial or misleading, as recent rediscoveries of tombs bear out.If the permission for new excavations is not granted by the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities anymore, there are many projects of restauration and publication of these tombs, such as, for instance, the Royal Ontario Museum Theban Tombs Project, that includes, inter al., the tombs of Amenmose (TT 89) and of Anen (TT 120) (see Pinch-Brock, 2005; for the bibliographical abbreviations, see the paragraph Riferimenti bibliografici); the works of Susan Redford of the University of Toronto, in the tomb of Ramose (TT46) (see Or. 72, 2003, p. 88); those of Roland Tefnin of the Université Libre de Bruxelles in the tomb of Sennufer (TT96) (see Or. 72, 2003, p. 86), the works and publications of N. Strudwick, on >>>
