Abstract
Archaeological evidence is presented for settlements dating to the early Christian period at two sites of Pharaonic rock-cut tombs. The discussion is based on observations of remains visible at the sites today and the published reports of Davies, the only Egyptologist to have examined these sites in detail. Pottery types noted on the disturbed ground surface are used to suggest a chronological framework for the period of occupation. Contrasting architectural styles and methods in which the ancient tombs were reused may indicate that each site supported a somewhat different kind of community. The results of a hitherto unpublished excavation offer a partial illustration of the community at Sheikh Said.
