"La tombe du Chef d'Équipe dans la Place de Vérité Inherkhâouy, décorée sous Ramsès IV, compte parmi les sépultures bien connues de la rive gauche de Thèbes, car c'est l'une des rares à être ouvertes au public sur le site de Deir el-Medina, où vécurent et furent enterrés les artistes et artisans de la Vallée des Rois; en outre, une liste de rois figurant dans le premier caveau a contribué à la célébrité du monument parmi les spécialistes. Le rapport que Bernard Bruyère a consacré en 1933 à la tombe d'Inherkhâouy étant épuisé depuis longtemps, et les photographies données par le fouilleur consistant en documents en noir et blanc, il a paru utile de publier aujourd'hui une couverture en couleurs des parois, et d'y ajouter? car cela ne figure pas dans le rapport préliminaire?une traduction des textes ainsi que le point de vue de l'historien d'art. D'une grande originalité sur le plan des inscriptions, les caveaux d'Inherkhâouy présentent aussi un intérêt tout particulier dans la mesure où leur décoration est signée, fait extrêmement rare dans l'art égyptien."

This volume represents the outcome of the conference 'Deir el-Medina and the Theban Necropolis in Contact: Describing the interactions within and outside the community of workmen' held in Liège in 2014 (27-29 October). The goal of this conference was to encourage a wider perspective on Deir el-Medina, bringing together scholars from all egyptological fields and disciplines who are interested in studying the many types of interactions that the ancient community of Deir el-Medina developed both internally and at the broader (supra- )regional level. The title 'Outside the box' refers to two important dimensions touched on by the papers in this volume. First, it points to the fact that a vast quantity of documents from Deir el-Medina and, more broadly, from the Theban Necropolis has been available for a long time to some restricted academic circles, but are now to be taken outside the box: this holds true not only for the publication of papyri and ostraca preserved in many collections across the world, but also for archival material describing the excavations at the site itself, and more broadly for the monuments that remain there still, but are not available to scholars or the general public. Second, most of the papers collected in this volume share a common feature, namely their attempt to think outside the box, using new theoretical frameworks, cross-disciplinary approaches, or innovative technological solutions. Accordingly, 'Outside the box' can be read both as a plea for making the fascinating material from Deir el-Medina more broadly available, and as a shout of admiration regarding the creativity and tireless inventiveness of scholars working on the sources stemming from this exceptional socio-cultural setting.
