Donkeys played a substantial role in the life of the necropolis workmen
of Deir el-Medina. Based on a corpus of administrative texts consisting
of 124 ostraca and 3 papyri, this work focuses on the economic aspect
and the function of donkeys as means of transport.
After a
detailed study of all texts, separate chapters are devoted to the
treatment and the work of the animals; their owners, hirers and buyers;
the price of hire; and the vocabulary and the formulae used in these
texts.
