liO TEN YEARS* DIGGING IN EGYPT
Not only do we in this town drop into the midst of
the daily life and productions of this early age, but
the documents of the time also remain. In various
chambers papyri were found ; some carefully scaled
up and put by, such as the wills of Uah, and Antef-
92. Set of Tools, Vases, and Mirror, i :S.
men, but mostly thrown aside as waste paper. One
of the largest is a hymn of praise to Uscrtcscn III ;
some pages of a medical work, some of a veterinary
papyrus, and innumerable parts of letters, accounts,
and memoranda make up the collection. As only
five papyri of this early date were known before now,
this is a wide addition to our resources.
