Il Complesso funerario di Neferhotep (Luxor): una lunga storia di utilizzi. Progetto, metodologie, tecnologie, scavo e protocolli archeometrici integrati

The paper is focusing on the project of researching of a monumental funerary complex which is located in the Valley of the Nobles at Luxor. The topographic context is certainly very interesting, both because it is not very well known and deeply investigated, as well as because it appears to have been densely exploited in antiquity and for long time. It was then intensively inhabited in the last two centuries, fact that determined the obliteration of numerous tombs, but also the loss of the sense of context of this section of the ancientnecropolis of Luxor. It was certainly in antiquity an important section of thenecropolis, looking at the monumentality of some of the tombs, and it has beencontinuously used for centuries for funerary purposes, not only during the ?pharaonic period?, but also during later periods, as clearly suggested by Ptolemaic tombs,Greco-Roman inscriptions and finds.Fil: Pereyra, Maria Violeta.
