| Sumario: | In the season 2021-2022, the Archaeological Mission of the University of La Laguna conducted documentation of a human-made levelled area situated to the south of the courtyard of TT 209, in Luxor, Egypt. Its dimensions were of 19.5 m in length and 3.50 m in width. It rested along the exterior side of the entrance pylon on its full remaining extent. The aforementioned surface has been considered as a thoroughfare oriented in an east-west direction that must have articulated the surrounding area of the necropolis. At least another tomb, located in front of TT 209, also has its access connected to it. This article provides an analysis of this fragment of the streets network within the Theban necropolis. It examines its diachronic evolution, which encompasses several phases related to the construction, use and gradual deterioration of the outer walls of TT 209. Additionally, the text describes the cult installation for ceremonial offerings that has been preserved in front of TT 209 and the tomb situated across the street. The final section discusses the contextualization of the discovery within the framework of the current scholarly interest on the communication routes and ritual landscape of the Theban necropolis. |
