  • Finding place

    • Koptos
      Certainty: certain
      Is the original place of use: Yes
      Comment on this place: Coptos, found at the rear of the temple of Thutmose III, ‘a little east’ of a doorjamb of Senwosret I; Petrie recorded two such doorjambs (1896, 11), one in limestone, forming what Petrie concluded was part of the east door of the temple, and another in granite to the south-east of this one. Both are indicated on the plan on pl. 1, with the limestone designated here as ‘Usertasen jamb’ so perhaps this is the jamb meant when indicating the location of the stela. Petrie concluded (1896, 16; PM V, 129) that the stela had been moved during Ptolemaic remodelling of the site and was dumped in clean sand at the back of the temple. Petrie’s journal for the excavations records the stela, but gives no further details of its findspot (Petrie MSS 1.12 - Petrie Journal 1893 – 1894, p. 46 (accessed 18 December 2020)).
