"The excavation work at the site of the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmosis III (West Thebes) has revealed a large amount of human remains (skeletons and mummies) uncovered from two main locations: tombs placed within or next to the enclosure walls of the temple dated from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Late Period and graves from a necropolis of the First Intermediate Period – 11th Dynasty close to the north-eastern enclosure wall. The aim of this anthropological and paleopathological study is to compare a population over time: the individuals of the Late Period to those of the Middle Kingdom. A total of 191 individuals have been studied (2016-2017):..154 from the tombs placed inside the wall of the temple and 37 from the tombs close to north-eastern wall. Preliminary conclusions showed a higher percentage of skeletal stress markers in the individuals from the First Intermediate Period – 11th Dynasty, compared with those from the Late Period"

First Intermediate Period

One of the most important advantages of LIBS that make it suitable for the analysis of archeological materials is that it is a quasi-nondestructive technique. Archeological mandibles excavated from Qubbet el Hawa Cemetery, Aswan, were subjected to elemental analysis in order to reconstruct the dietary patterns of the middle class of the Aswan population throughout three successive eras: the First Intermediate Period (FIP), the Middle Kingdom (MK), and the Second Intermediate Period (SIP). The bone Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios were significantly correlated, so the Sr/Ca ratios are considered to represent the ante-mortem values. It was suggested that the significantly low FIP Sr/Ca compared to that of both the MK and the SIP was attributed to the consumption of unusual sorts of food and imported cereals during years of famine, while the MK Sr/Ca was considered to represent the amelioration of climatic, social, economic, and political conditions in this era of state socialism. The SIP Sr/Ca, which is nearly the same as that of the MK, was considered to be the reflection of the continuity of the individualism respect and state socialism and a reflection of agriculture conditions amelioration under the reign of the 17th Dynasty in Upper Egypt.

An important set of false door stelae with polychrome and hieroglyphic inscriptions have been found, throughout several excavation campaigns, in the necropolis of the First Intermediate Period/Early Middle Kingdom at Herakleopolis Magna. A part of this set is preserved in the National Archaeological Museum (Madrid), while other stelae are stored in the Cairo Museum and in the warehouses of the Ministry of Antiquities located at Ehnasya el-Medina. The conservation and restoration of these objects was undertaken following the criteria recommended by national and international regulations and institutions. The works have been carried out in the National Archaeological Museum and the workshop of the Spanish Archaeological Mission in Ehnasya el-Medina. The stelae presented a heterogeneous and different state of conservation; while some were complete, others were in a fragmentary state. With the purpose of returning the stelae to their original morphology and identity, the treatments applied have essentially consisted of: cleaning, consolidation, material reintegration and volumetric recovery. After restoration, new interesting aspects about the necropolis and the people buried there have come to light.
