{"pk":4740,"title":"Deir el-Gabrawi","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Deir el-Gabrawi, the most important Old Kingdom necropolis of the Upper Egyptian 12th nome, is formed of two cliffs, the northern one near the village of Arab el-Atiyat and the southern one near the village of Deir el-Gabrawi. Its tombs date back to the late Old Kingdom, although an earlier chronology has been suggested. However, no trace of a contemporary town has yet been found. Later on, a late Roman locality called Hierakon and the quartering of a Roman cohort were built in its close vicinity, and the dead from these settlements were buried in the tombs of the old necropolis. A rather peculiar characteristic of Deir el-Gabrawi is that some local governors simultaneously controlled the 12th as well as the 8th Upper Egyptian nomes during the 6th Dynasty.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Geography"},{"word":"rock tomb"},{"word":"necropolis"},{"word":"roman"},{"word":"12th upper egyptian nome"},{"word":"nomarch"},{"word":"Art History, Criticism and Conservation"},{"word":"Near Eastern Languages and Societies"}],"section":"Geography","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/99j1g8zh","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Juan Carlos","middle_name":"","last_name":"Moreno Garcia","name_suffix":"","institution":"CNRS","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2009-06-02T19:13:58Z","date_accepted":"2009-06-02T19:13:58Z","date_published":"2012-06-12T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/nelc_uee/article/4740/galley/2663/download/"},{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/nelc_uee/article/4740/galley/2664/download/"}]}
