Shaft tombs which had only been noted in two brief paragraphs by Howard Carter in 1917 have now been revealed to be burial places of hitherto unrecognised members of the family of Amenhotep III. These architecturally unique shaft tombs had been repeatedly robbed but still contained the shattered remains of the largest collections of canopic jars ever found in Egypt. These and other surviving contents of the tomb seem to have been deliberately destroyed in phaoronic times in an attempt - successf...
Kellis Literary Texts (Oxbow Monographs in Archaeology, #69)
Ancient Kellis (the modern village of Ismant el-Kharab) lies some four hundred miles to the south-west of Cairo in Egypt's western desert, and its excavation is part of the Dakleh Oasis Project.

Village Institutions in Egypt in the Roman to Early Arab Periods (Proceedings of the British Academy)
by Micaela Langellotti and D W Rathbone
This volume is the first to survey village institutions in Egypt during the first eight centuries AD, from the beginning of Roman rule to the early Arab period. Villages in the ancient Mediterranean world, in contrast to cities, have been little studied and the communal life of the majority rural population is ill understood. The rich evidence of the documentary papyri from Egypt, half of which come from village sites, permits both study of topics in detail and comparisons across time. This volu...
