Archaeological context

TT 157, in the debris filling the longitudinal hall, there are further archaeological indications for an occupation during late antique and early islamic times but nothing has been published so far; since occupation of the area is not attested so far earlier than the 590ies, the papyrus might have been in secondary use in such an occupational use of the site

Accession number

TT 157-470

current location unknown, probably excavation or SCA storage in Carter House magazine
