Sumario:The two shroud fragments with funerary texts discussed in this contribution were found during two field seasons in 2012 and 2015 by the Spanish Mission working at the foothill of the central area of Dra Abu el-Naga. They were retrieved from the so-called 'Sector 10', an area to the southwest of the courtyard of TT 11 (tomb-chapel of Djehuty), in mixed and disturbed archaeological contexts. Archaeological, material, and textual aspects are combined to analyse these new early examples of Book of the Dead spells inscribed on linen.
