Summary

A novel approach to understanding the material transformations of cultural heritage reveals how a tomb in Thebes' Necropolis evolves from its initial construction into a site of heritage significance. By tracing the biographical journey of Tomb TT 93 through archaeological and archaeometric methods, this research uncovers distinct material imprints left by heritage-making processes, contrasting them with earlier stages of use and memory. This symmetrical analysis of material traces—from oblivion to heritage—highlights the tomb's layered history, offering a unique perspective on how cultural narratives are embedded in the physical fabric of ancient sites.
