Findspots:
One from Fisher's excavation (Dra Abul Naga. 01-117 in Davies's notebook and 04-036 in Macadam's Green file).
Remarks:
The three cones owned by Amunhotep bear almost entirely different titles from each other, which may explain why he wanted three distinct cones.
The design and handwriting on all three suggest that they were most likely made by the same person and (therefore) at around the same time.
The probability is high that the statue EA 32182, preserved in the British Museum, belonged to our Amunhotep. It is because an inscription on the statue identifies the owner Amunhotep as 'Scribe of the district, Overseer of the two granaries, Overseer of the fields, with text mentioning Montu lord of Hermonthis' (PM VIII: 614) or, as Budge indicates, 'an overseer of the royal granaries and estates' (Budge 1922: 130 [83]).
