Abstract
Short contribution about the Macquarie University Theban Tombs Project (Dir: Associate Professor Boyo Ockinga) and the excavation of Theban Tomb 149 belonging to a 20th Dynasty official called Amenmose (12th cent.). In addition to remains dating to the original owner, the tomb was later 'home' to a 'cell' of Christian monks or religious adherents in the Late Antique/Coptic period (c. 8th cent. AD). These groups lived in tombs of the pharaonic age and were associated with a nearby Christian monastery complex.
