The ninth volume in the 'Survey of Memphis' series presents over twelve
hundred objects found during the EES excavations at the site of Kom
Rabia from 1986 to 1990, when late Middle Kingdom installations were
excavated. The objects were recovered from a series of occupation levels
in the installations and date from the late Middle Kingdom period and
its immediate aftermath at Memphis. The volume complements the site
report describing the excavations (SoM VI); it is also the sister volume
to that presenting the New Kingdom and Post-New Kingdom objects from Kom
Rabia (SoM II). It completes the publication of a sequence of objects
that spans many centuries of the 'life' of one sector of Memphis, from
the late Middle Kingdom through the New Kingdom dynasties and into the
Third Intermediate Period.
