New Kingdom A group of large, rough limestone chips in the collection have been inscribed witht the name and some of the titles of Hatshepsut's official Senenmut. These name stones (also called tally stones) were originally built into the terrace retaining walls and facade revetments of Senenmut's tomb chapel (TT 71). The stones were not intended to be seen in the finished structure, rather, they may have been included to symbolize Senenmut's ownership of the monument. Over time, the terrace and revetments collapsed, and the stones were scattered over the hillside below the tomb chapel where they were uncovered by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition during the 1935-1936 field season. Those in New York were received by the Museum in the division of finds.This stone is inscribed "Overseer of the Fields of Amun, Senenmut.". Name Stone of Senenmut. ca. 1479-1458 B.C..

New Kingdom, Ramesside This small piece of flint was a key element to a successful agricultural season in ancient Egypt. Grain was a staple of the economy, as bread and beer made from grain were consumed daily. They also formed the foundation of eternal sustenance, as funerary offerings. Ancient Egyptians used sickles made from flint and wood to reap grain. Pieces of flint such as this one were shaped to fit into a wooden haft along with a number of other such inserts, and secured with an adhesive. The flint pieces provided a sharp edge to cut the grain stalks. With use, the flint would wear down and develop a shiny gloss. The flint inserts could be re-sharpened or replaced as needed. Sickle inserts could be made in a variety of ways. The earliest were fully bifacially retouched, then later they were made on blades (long narrow pieces of flint). Starting in the 2nd millennium BC, some sickle inserts were made on large flakes, such as this one. Flint, raSillimanite. minerals.
