Abstract
It has been proposed, and quite reasonably I think, that the date of deposition of the famous Main Deposit at Hierakonpolis was much later than the Archaic Period originally suggested, and was possibly the Eighteenth Dynasty.1 While some of the objects in the deposit were produced during the Archaic Period, other pieces have been shown to belong to subsequent times, including some of the ivory figurines which date as late as the Twelfth Dynasty.2 A possible date of burial is provided by the fact that the only New Kingdom pharaoh known from a number of inscriptions in the temple complex at Hierakonpolis is Tuthmosis III ; his name was discovered by Quibell and Green on a sandstone architrave,3 on the facing blocks of what is assumed to be the remains of a pylon,4 and on a tablet from a scattered foundation
