Description

English summary: Tomb MMA 504 is at the heart of 11th Dynasty necropolis that is on the northern flank of the wadi leading to Deir el-Bahari. The site chosen by the quarrymen of the Middle Kingdom was totally unsuitable, to the extent that tunneling had to be rapidly abandoned, leaving an unfinished tomb that looked more like a rocky cavern than a funerary monument. Neverthess, some five hundred years later the site received visits from many members of the construction team and the clergy of the funerary temples established in Deir el-Bahari at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. Consequently the site houses nearly eighty textual and figurative graffiti. These inscriptions reveal a combination of literate, social and cultural practices, specifically relating to scribes and middle-level administrators of the New Kingdom. French description: La tombe MMAa504 se trouve dans la necropole de la XIe dynastie situee sur le flanc nord du ouadi menant au cirque de Deir el-Bahari. Les difficultes dacces au site conduisirent les carriers du Moyen Empire a abandonner rapidement le creusement de la tombe qui, inachevee et inusitee, prit davantage lapparence dune grotte rupestre que dun monument funeraire. Quelque cinq cents ans plus tard, au debut de la XVIIIe dynastie, le lieu recut la visite des membres du personnel de construction et du clerge des temples memoriaux etablis dans le voisinage de Deir el-Bahari. Leur passage est signale par pres de quatre-vingt graffiti textuels et figuratifs. Ces inscriptions renvoient a un ensemble de pratiques lettrees, sociales et culturelles specifiques aux scribes et membres de lelite intermediaire du Nouvel Empire. Fonde sur la publication des inscriptions et letude archeologique du site, le present ouvrage offre une etude complete du monument et de ses graffiti, consideres en tant que pratique creatrice despace et de dynamiques sociales.
