ISSCRIPTJOSS FROM THI4 PALACE OF AMESHOTEP 111

AGR-ITIFYINC result of the excavations conducted in soutlir-estern Thebes during the years 1910-20 by the

Egyptian Expedition of the lletropolitan Sluseum of Art1 was the recovery from the ruins of the palace-city of Xmenhotep I I I h f a considerable amount of inscribed material much of it of a historical or semi- historical nature Included among the finds now in New k-ork are some fourteen hundred hieratic jar-labels an interesting series of stamped jar-sealings and stamped mud bricks many ring bezels and other small objects bearing royal and private names and a f e ~ ~ inscribed architectural elements-all dated or datable to the last three decades of the reign of Amenhotep 111 While it is not feasible nor perhaps even desirable to publish this material in extenso we may utilize the Jolsrnals hos- pitable pages to record the principal types of inscriptions preserved to us from tlie palace ruins and to examine briefly the data ~vhicli they contain on tlie life and history of the late Eighteenth Dynasty

See Lansing Bull AfllftMarch 1018 Supple- men pp 8 9 The inscriptions referred to will be reproduced in a subsequent article Holscher u-as ap- parently unas-are of their existence and of the nature and equipment of the building w-hen he suggested (z$s LXVII 17) that it was nothing more than a group of magazines surrounding a suite of administra- tive offices

10 O p cil p 10 The existence of such a hall in the near vicinity w-as indicated by the presence in these ruins of fragnients of a sandstone door-frame u-ith in- scriptions referring to the kings Sed-festival and by the concentration in the temple forecourt of hwidreds of jars for meat and other conimodities dated to Reg- nal Year 84 and designated as being for the repeti- tior] of the Jicb-Seil (see Figs 5 10-12)

Tytus (op czf pp 8 25) and cleared and planned by Winlock in 1911 (Bz~ll 4fM4 1912 p 185) The fragments of inscribed jars mentioned by Daressy (inn Sert IT 168-69) appear to have been found in the sanie general area

Borchardts contention (zAs LXXII 55) that the third Heb-Sed was celebrated not in 1-ear 36 but in Year 37 is supported by the palace jar-labels (see Sos 59 112 161 and the table of Fig 16)

enaten was elevated to the throne as coregent in or about Year 28 of Amen- hotep 11114and transferred his residence to Tell el hmarna in or about Year 33 this means that the bulk of the dated in- scriptions from the palace at Thebes are cBontemporary with those found at Amar- na We can indeed establish a close cor- respondence in date year by year be- tween the two groups of inscriptions based on the equations Year 28 of A I I I = Year 1of A IT Year 33 of A I11= Year 6 of A IT Year 38 of A I11= ear 11 of A IT etc15 There is nothing either sur- prising or significant in the fact that very few of our dated inscriptions are earlier than Year 30 of Amenhotep I11 and none earlier than Year 8 On the contrary con- sidering the kind of inscriptions in ques- tion (temporary ink labels on pottery jars containing perishable commodities) it is remarkable that any have survived save those written during the last few years of the palace occupation That this occupation continued for some time after the death of Amenhotep I11 in Year 38 or early in Year 39 is indicated by the htenist erasures of the name of Aman from most of the hieroglyphic inscriptions throughout the palace-a step which probably would not have been taken dur- ing the lifetime of the old king-and by the presence in the palace ruins of ob-jects inscribed wit11 the cartouches of

I i Not an exact correspondence unless w-e assunie that Akhenaten was made coregent on the anniversary of his fathers accession According to Horchardt (l-littel z u r ze i t l ichen Festlewuno pp 83 87 121) there was a difference of three months and six days betw-een the cix-il calendar dates of the accession of Amenhotep 111 (2 iii) and that of Akhenaten (8 r i 1 )

I THE JAR-LZBELS

The hundreds of hieratic labels written in black ink on the shoulders of the pottery jars in which supplies of wine ale meat fat honey oil and other commodi- ties were brought to the palace of hmen- hotep I11 have received little more than passing comment from the excavators and students of the site17 Inscriptions of this class however are well known from tombs temples and other palace and town sites of the Eighteenth and Nine- teenth dynasties and have been published in varying degrees of detail and from vari- ous points of view by Bruyampre18 Carterlg

Borchardts contention (zAs LXXII 55) that the third Heb-Sed was celebrated not in 1-ear 36 but in Year 37 is supported by the palace jar-labels (see Sos 59 112 161 and the table of Fig 16)

The hundreds of hieratic labels written in black ink on the shoulders of the pottery jars in which supplies of wine ale meat fat honey oil and other commodi- ties were brought to the palace of hmen- hotep I11 have received little more than passing comment from the excavators and students of the site17 Inscriptions of this class however are well known from tombs temples and other palace and town sites of the Eighteenth and Nine- teenth dynasties and have been published in varying degrees of detail and from vari- ous points of view by Bruyampre18 Carterlg

10 O p cil p 10 The existence of such a hall in the near vicinity w-as indicated by the presence in these ruins of fragnients of a sandstone door-frame u-ith in- scriptions referring to the kings Sed-festival and by the concentration in the temple forecourt of hwidreds of jars for meat and other conimodities dated to Reg- nal Year 84 and designated as being for the repeti- tior] of the Jicb-Seil (see Figs 5 10-12)

Borchardts contention (zAs LXXII 55) that the third Heb-Sed was celebrated not in 1-ear 36 but in Year 37 is supported by the palace jar-labels (see Sos 59 112 161 and the table of Fig 16)

enaten was elevated to the throne as coregent in or about Year 28 of Amen- hotep 11114and transferred his residence to Tell el hmarna in or about Year 33 this means that the bulk of the dated in- scriptions from the palace at Thebes are cBontemporary with those found at Amar- na We can indeed establish a close cor- respondence in date year by year be- tween the two groups of inscriptions based on the equations Year 28 of A I I I = Year 1of A IT Year 33 of A I11= Year 6 of A IT Year 38 of A I11= ear 11 of A IT etc15 There is nothing either sur- prising or significant in the fact that very few of our dated inscriptions are earlier than Year 30 of Amenhotep I11 and none earlier than Year 8 On the contrary con- sidering the kind of inscriptions in ques- tion (temporary ink labels on pottery jars containing perishable commodities) it is remarkable that any have survived save those written during the last few years of the palace occupation That this occupation continued for some time after the death of Amenhotep I11 in Year 38 or early in Year 39 is indicated by the htenist erasures of the name of Aman from most of the hieroglyphic inscriptions throughout the palace-a step which probably would not have been taken dur- ing the lifetime of the old king-and by the presence in the palace ruins of ob-jects inscribed wit11 the cartouches of

I THE JAR-LZBELS

The hundreds of hieratic labels written in black ink on the shoulders of the pottery jars in which supplies of wine ale meat fat honey oil and other commodi- ties were brought to the palace of hmen- hotep I11 have received little more than passing comment from the excavators and students of the site17 Inscriptions of this class however are well known from tombs temples and other palace and town sites of the Eighteenth and Nine- teenth dynasties and have been published in varying degrees of detail and from vari- ous points of view by Bruyampre18 Carterlg

enaten was elevated to the throne as coregent in or about Year 28 of Amen- hotep 11114and transferred his residence to Tell el hmarna in or about Year 33 this means that the bulk of the dated in- scriptions from the palace at Thebes are cBontemporary with those found at Amar- na We can indeed establish a close cor- respondence in date year by year be- tween the two groups of inscriptions based on the equations Year 28 of A I I I = Year 1of A IT Year 33 of A I11= Year 6 of A IT Year 38 of A I11= ear 11 of A IT etc15 There is nothing either sur- prising or significant in the fact that very few of our dated inscriptions are earlier than Year 30 of Amenhotep I11 and none earlier than Year 8 On the contrary con- sidering the kind of inscriptions in ques- tion (temporary ink labels on pottery jars containing perishable commodities) it is remarkable that any have survived save those written during the last few years of the palace occupation That this occupation continued for some time after the death of Amenhotep I11 in Year 38 or early in Year 39 is indicated by the htenist erasures of the name of Aman from most of the hieroglyphic inscriptions throughout the palace-a step which probably would not have been taken dur- ing the lifetime of the old king-and by the presence in the palace ruins of ob-jects inscribed wit11 the cartouches of

I THE JAR-LZBELS

The hundreds of hieratic labels written in black ink on the shoulders of the pottery jars in which supplies of wine ale meat fat honey oil and other commodi- ties were brought to the palace of hmen- hotep I11 have received little more than passing comment from the excavators and students of the site17 Inscriptions of this class however are well known from tombs temples and other palace and town sites of the Eighteenth and Nine- teenth dynasties and have been published in varying degrees of detail and from vari- ous points of view by Bruyampre18 Carterlg
