Giddy, L. 2013. The Survey of Memphis VI: Kom Rabi'a: The Late Middle Kingdom Settlement (Levels VI-VIII). Excavation Memoir 94.

This sixth volume in the 'Survey of Memphis' series, by Lisa Giddy, describes the late Middle Kingdom levels excavated in the 1980¹s at Kom Rabi¹a, Memphis, by the Egypt Exploration Society team. Following an introduction outlining the Society¹s work at Kom Rabi¹a and summarising the extant Middle Kingdom remains at Memphis as a whole, there is a detailed description of the late Middle Kingdom stratigraphy revealed at Kom Rabi¹a, accompanied by in-text figures illustrating the salient characteristics of each level in the six sectors investigated. Complete lists of the contexts excavated and objects discovered are provided. There follows a reconstruction of events across the site, and a final essay evaluating the importance of Kom Rabi¹a for our understanding of late Middle Kingdom Memphis.
