The repertoire of inscribed artefacts from the 17th Dynasty has increased due to finds made by the Spanish mission at Dra Abu el-Naga in some plundered funerary structures located to the southwest of the open courtyard of the tomb chapel of Djehuty (TT 11). Two burial chambers were connected by a robbers’ passage where a set of mummiform shabtis and model sarcophagi moulded from silt, together with a coffin fragment decorated with funerary texts were found. These are quite rare and reflect the cultural transition that took place during the Second Intermediate Period in Thebes.
