interpretation will be possible only after the drawings are completed and verified
during the next season.
The work on the decoration of the main sanctuary is not finished yet, but the
drawings of the eastern wall and separate scenes from other walls will be completed
shortly. The work on the reconstruction of wall decoration in a series of long, narrow
shrines in the western part of the temple is under progress. Three of them (marked D,
H, I) have almost been finished, with iconographic schemes established for all of their
walls. For Room G one wall is still missing, and for rooms E, K and L only single
representations have been attributed. With about 38% of the assembled scenes still
awaiting attribution, there is hope to fill the gaps, and the work should be much
speedier now, due to the process of elimination.
It is planned to complete the first volume of the publication of the temple
decoration soon, and it will contain the reconstruction and studies on the Hypostyle
Hall.
Another field of activity during the 1990 season consisted of extensive studies
on the hieratic graffiti found on fragmentary columns and walls of the temple. In 1974
Dr. M. Marciniak publishes a volume on them, but left for publication countless smaller
parts of the texts. With progress on the piecing together of the wall decoration, it was
possible to join many hitherto scattered fragmentary texts and prepare another volume.
Also, a number of the hieratic texts on broken columns were successfully connected; Mr.
M. Barwik, who undertook this task, prepared a complete documentation of the subject.
