Material Evidence from the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmose III: Study and Interpretation of Votive and Daily Use Objects

Abstract

This thesis is based on the study of materials found during the archaeological works carried out in the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmose III located in the West Bank of Luxor. A Spanish-Egyptian team has been working at the site uninterruptedly since 2008. Eleven campaigns up to 2018 have resulted in a corpus of thousands of stone fragments, complete blocks and other architectural elements, as well as numerous artefacts documented inside and around the enclosure of the temple. The materials presented in this work are 783 of such artefacts of diverse symbology and functionality that are chronologically framed in the period of operation of the temple.
