One from Ramesseum (01-098 in Davies's notebook and 04-074 in Macadam's Green file).
Several from Asasif to Dra Abul Naga (Werbrouck 1958 [Cd’É 33]: 223).
One from TT 29 (Tefnin & Bavay 2008 [ASAE 82]: 368).
Remarks:
Davies wrote that he might have seen a lintel of Kaemamun in a house close to TT 39 (01-098 in Davies's notebook).
Two statues of Kaemamun are known to exist, one of which is a statue group located in the Louvre (inv. no. 10.443). It depicts Kaemamun's second son, Aakheperreseneb (de Buck 1957-1958 [JEOL 15]).
De Buck noted that in many of Kaemamun's artefacts, the term 'Amen' had survived unscathed throughout the rule of Akhenaten (de Buck 1957-1958 [JEOL 15]: 9-10).
The Petrie Museum has a brick (UC37671).
It is notable that while both # 246 and # 590 refer to the owner as the fourth prophet of Amun, # 228 refers to him as the second prophet of Amun. This discrepancy suggests that # 228 was created last, although the order of the first two is uncertain.
