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 |
