About the Book

English summary: The vast majority of ostraca from the necropolis of Dra 'Abu el-Naga in Western Thebes originate from of the twin grave complex K93.11 and K93.12, built during the early 18th Dynasty and redesigned during late 20th dynasty under the chief priests Ramessesnakht and his son Amenhotep. Apart from a few exceptions, these texts comprise something very special which has seldom observed before: they are ceramic ostraca or often quite massive chunks of limestone with one or more persons names as their only content. In Dra 'Abu el-Naga II the hieratic ostraca and name stones are presented for the first time. They all come from the area of the K93.12 complex, in other words from that of high priest Amenhotep, and were for the most part integrated into the masonry of its now destroyed mudbrick pyramid. Presumably, these are the names of people involved in the renovation of the facility, in other words of the workers employed there. The nearly 100 names, including about 70 different individual names, represent a credible list of those involved in the construction of the pyramid and the tomb. The scattered findings from the other parts of the complex also contain mostly non-literary content. While the earliest text mentions the name of King Nubcheperre-Intef, and therefore dates from the late 17th Dynasty, the most recent document bears the name of high priest Menkheperre of the 21st Dynasty. German description: Die Ostraka aus der Nekropole von Dra' Abu el-Naga in Theben-West stammen in der uberwiegenden Mehrzahl aus dem Doppelgrabkomplex K93.11 und K93.12, der in der fruhen 18. Dynastie angelegt und in der spaten 20. Dynastie unter den Hohenpriestern Ramsesnacht und dessen Sohn Amenophis neu gestaltet wurde. Von nur wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen liegt mit diesen Texten ein so noch kaum beobachteter Sonderfall vor: Es sind Keramikostraka oder oft recht massive Kalksteinbrocken mit einem oder mehreren Personennamen als einzigem Inhalt. In Dra' Abu el-Naga II werden die hieratischen Ostraka und Namensteine erstmals vorgelegt. Sie stammen alle aus dem Bereich der Anlage K93.12, also der des Hohenpriesters Amenophis, und waren zum uberwiegenden Teil in das Mauerwerk von dessen heute zerstorter Lehmziegel-Pyramide eingebracht worden. Vermutlich sind es die Namen von Personen, die an der Neugestaltung der Anlage beteiligt waren, also von dort beschaftigten Arbeitern. Diese beinahe 100 Namen, darunter etwa 70 unterschiedliche, ergeben eine veritable Liste der am Bau der Pyramide und der Grabanlage Beteiligten. Die Streufunde aus den ubrigen Arealen haben meist ebenfalls einen nichtliterarischen Inhalt. Wahrend der fruheste Text den Namen des Konigs Nubcheperre-Intef nennt und damit aus der Zeit der spaten 17. Dynastie stammt, enthalt der spateste Beleg den Namen des Hohenpriesters Mencheperre aus der 21. Dynastie.
