A corpus of funerary linen was found in the 2012/2013 season in one of the rock tombs cut in the cliff bordering the Tuthmosis III temple platform in Deir el-Bahari during the work of the Polish–Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Mission of the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. It derives from unidentified burials and from disturbed archaeological contexts and most probably was deposited in the tomb in modern times. It constitutes an important addition to the known body of funerary linen from the Third Intermediate/beginning of the Late Period, as attested by a cartouche of Taharqo and other elements of the burial assemblages. The discovered textiles provide important information about the funerary functions of linen, as well as technical aspects of Pharaonic textiles.
