Abstract
This is the third book of this type published by Dr Donker van Heel. Each claims to be able to access the ordinary people of ancient Egypt via textual sources. This work is based on the ostraca and papyri from the New Kingdom village of Deir el-Medina. Whilst this work would have benefitted from the incorporation of more non-textual sources, the reviewer concludes that overall this is a thoughtful, yet pragmatic interpretation of texts, leading to interesting discussions on sometimes little considered topics. Mrs. Naunakhte and Family: The Women of Ramesside Deir al-Medina, by KoenraadDonker van Heel, Cairo; New York: The American University in Cairo Press, 264 pages (Hardbound), $34.95, LE250, 2016, ISBN: 9789774167737.
