	Deir el-Medina
		Deir el-Medina is one of Egypt's archaeological gems.
		The name Deir el-Medina comes from the Arabic meaning "monastery of the town" because of the presence of a Ptolamaic temple nearby which was once used as a Coptic monastery.
		Another tomb often included in a visit to Deir el-Medina is that of Inherkhau who served as a Foreman on the royal tomb construction teams during the 20th Dynasty.

	Craftsmen
		Deir el-Medina has produced an incredible wealth of material providing invaluable information about the way these people lived: their marriages, inheritances, divorces, legal business and advice from the gods.
		Scribes would use papyri and pieces of limestone (ostraca) as notepads, and thousands of these were discovered inscribed with letters, notes, records, and many other kinds of evidence concerning the lives of the men and their families, most dating from the 19th and 20th dynasties.
		Although nowhere to the scale of a royal burial, tomb workers and craftsmen from Deir el-Medina were buried in often elaborate and highly decorated tombs.
