Reisner Papyri
The Reisner Papyri are four administrative papyri of the early Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt, found in a tomb at Naga ed-Deir by George Reisner's expedition and now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. They contain accounts of building work, workforces and dockyard labour from the reign of Senusret I. They are a major source for Middle Kingdom administration.
