Summary This article is the first edition of two papyri with demotic script (pUtrecht, University Library, Demotic Ms. B6.7a and d+e, shortened pUtrecht, Dem. Ms. B6.7a and pUtrecht, Dem. Ms. B6.7d+e), which today are part of the collection of the University Library in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Due to palaeography and content, the fragments’ origin can be traced back to Soknopaiou Nesos. Both texts are of documentary content; one is concerned with the sale of a house share, the other is a receipt of a transaction involving wheat.
Artisans in the ancient Egyptian community of Deir el-Medina produced a large volume of written materials, which represents a valuable source of information about life and society at the time. We spoke to Professor Antonio Loprieno, Elena Hertel and Stephan Unter about their work in analysing these texts and developing new research methods which cross disciplinary boundaries.
