ABSTRACT
AN effect of the 'power sharing' arrangement which came into effect during the w-9.m-.mswt, the era inaugurated by the pontificate of Herihor, was that the Twenty-first Dynasty witnessed a quasi-royal high priestly cemetery at Thebes existing in parallel with the true royal burial places at Tanis <San el-Hagar). Comparison of the remains recovered from the two necropoleis show interesting differences between funerary practices in the north and south, although the picture is possibly skewed by the vastly greater quantity of material surviving from Thebes.
