Found in: 00a - Haueris (Hawara)

BC04 BC03 BC02

Also called archive of Marres grandson of Achomneuis; Hawara embalmers 1; undertakers of Hawara 1

Protagonist: An embalmers family in the necropolis of Hawara can be followed over 6 generations. The last owner of this archive is Marres son of Marres and grandson of Achomneuis.

Description: Two archives of embalmers were found almost simultaneously. This is the older archive. The texts are kept mainly in Chicago and Copenhagen and precede the younger archive by a generation. The two archives may be the result of a single find. Most Greek texts are subscriptions or dockets added to Demotic main texts, but some documents are entirely written in Greek. Most Demotic texts are title deeds kept in the archive to prove ownership of tombs and houses.
