Abstract
The excavations of Khaemwaset's monument at North Saqqara have yielded a number of hieratic dockets on building materials. These represent rare New Kingdom examples of their type, and promise to provide significant information about organization of labour. It is here proposed that these dockets related to the transportation of building materials for the monument. They perhaps also suggest a gang system slightly different from that in evidence at Deir el-Medina. Future studies of these hieratic dockets, as well as of other marks, will hopefully elucidate this organization further.
