Findspots:
A total of 21 from a little north of the house of Azab Ahmet (Tomb -415-) and 40 metres north of it (near TT 235. Gauthier 1919 [BIFAO 16]: 173–174).
One (?) from the house of Ali Ammar ( = TT 274 ? cf. Baraize 1906: feuille 53. Gauthier 1919 [BIFAO 16]: 173–174).
One from TT 48 (01-231 in Davies's notebook).
11 stored in TT 99 (from TT 48 probably by Weigall. 01-231 in Davies's notebook).
Three from Armant (Drower and Myers 1940: Texts p. 101).
One from Deir el-Medina (JE 66872. cf. the register book owned by the Egyptian Museum in Cairo).
Remarks:
It is plausible that Amunemhat, who possessed # 29 and # 77, is the same individual as Amunemhat of TT 48. Their proximity to his tomb and his position as both a king's scribe and fan-bearer suggest this possibility. However, inscriptions on # 29 and # 77 indicate positions such as 'wHmw-nswt (king’s herald)', 'jmj-rA st (overseer of the storeroom)', or 'jmj-rA pr-HD (overseer of the treasury)', and 'jmj-rA aXnwtj (chamberlain)' which were not associated with TT 48. Furthermore, the locations where our cone was discovered differed from those of # 29 and # 77.
Macadam thought -415- to be Surer's second tomb (05-121 in Macadam's DALEX file 1 and 06-106 in his DALEX file 2).
