Prosopographic Study of the New Kingdom Tomb Owners of Dra Abu El-Naga

Published in 2022 by Archaeopress, this academic volume emerged from the field of Egyptology to address a specific gap in the study of the Theban Necropolis. The work focuses on the social and administrative landscape of Dra Abu El-Naga, a site of significant historical importance where elite officials of the New Kingdom were buried. By compiling a detailed prosopographic study, the author aims to reconstruct the lives, titles, and familial networks of these individuals, providing a clearer view of the power dynamics that defined the era.

Ángeles Jiménez-Higueras designed this research to serve as a rigorous reference tool for scholars and archaeologists working with funerary epigraphy. The text reflects contemporary methodological standards in Egyptology, prioritizing data-driven analysis of tomb ownership to better understand the bureaucracy and social stratification of ancient Egypt. It has been received within the academic community as a specialized, essential resource for those investigating the professional trajectories of the Egyptian elite during the Eighteenth through Twentieth Dynasties.
