ABSTRACT

Currently, the walls of the Theban Tomb 123 (Luxor, Egypt) are the result and evidence of diverse histories developed over a span of 3400 years. They encapsulate, as overlapping layers, material and intangible transformations that reveal multiple uses, meanings, and ontologies which converged in the necropolis of Thebes. At this tomb, originally built for a scribe named Amenemhet, a detailed study of the stratigraphic matrix of one of the walls was undertaken. Forty-eight stratigraphic units have been documented and arranged in a Harris matrix through an exhaustive survey of the macroscopic evidence about the historical changes on the wall. The analysis performed reveals the complexity of these spaces and their multiple occupations across thousands of years and sheds light on the unambiguous visions of these places regarded as pristine relics of the pharaonic past.

摘要

目前，Theban Tomb 123（埃及卢克索）的墙壁是 3400 年发展的不同历史的结果和证据。它们将物质和无形的转化封装为重叠的层次，揭示了汇聚在底比斯墓地的多种用途、意义和本体论。在这座最初为名叫 Amenemhet 的抄写员建造的坟墓中，对其中一堵墙的地层矩阵进行了详细研究。通过对有关墙上历史变化的宏观证据的详尽调查，已经记录了 48 个地层单元并将其排列在哈里斯矩阵中。
