Summary/Abstract: Excavations in 2005 in the hermitage at Sheikh Abd el-Gurna concentrated on clearing the fill from the corridor of Tomb 1152. This rock-cut tomb, which was reused by Coptic monks, represents corridor type II B1 and is dated to the Middle Kingdom, presumably the turn of the 11th and beginning of the 12th Dynasty.
