Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology

"Non-royal tombs of MK at Hawara

"The Middle Kingdom tombs north of the pyramid at Hawara have suffered the same near-total destruction as the Labyrinth itself. Petrie produced a plan of several rectangular buildings in this area, remains of tomb superstructures alongside burial shaft openings. The closest parallel in time and layout would be the tombs north of the pyramid of Senusret III at Dahshur. These allow us to sketch a speculative reconstruction of the Hawara Middle Kingdom tombs. One of the smallest but best-recorded tombs in this northern area is that of a woman named Satrenenutet. The surviving finds from her tomb are preserved in the Petrie Museum, and the notebook and publication permit a reconstruction of the original appearance."
