Hatnub was the location of Egyptian alabaster quarries and an associated seasonally occupied workers' settlement in the Eastern Desert, about 65 km (40 mi) from el-Minya, southeast of el-Amarna. The pottery, hieroglyph inscriptions and hieratic graffiti at the site show that it was in use intermittently from at least as early as the reign of Khufu until the Roman period (c. 2589 BC–AD 300). The Hatnub quarry settlement, associated with three principal quarries, like those associated with gold mines in the Wadi Hammamat and elsewhere, are characterized by drystone windbreaks, roads, causeways, cairns and stone alignments.

  • Hatnub és una pedrera de l'antic Egipte, al nomós de Hare, a l'Egipte mitjà, a uns 20 km de Tell al-Amarna. El nom Hatnub s'aplicava també a la pedra d'una qualitat determinada, perquè aquesta era la qualitat de la majoria de la pedra de la pedrera. (ca)
  • Hatnub (ägyptisch Hw.t-nbw Haus des Goldes) ist der Name antiker Steinbrüche mit kristallinem Calcit (sogenannter "Ägyptischer Alabaster") in der Ostwüste etwa 18 km südöstlich von Tell el-Amarna und ca. 65 km südöstlich der modernen Stadt al-Minya. (de)
  • Hatnub o Hetnub, llamada la "Casa del Oro", fue una cantera de alabastro egipcio. También fue el lugar de asentamiento de trabajadores temporalmente ocupado en el Desierto Oriental, al sureste de Amarna y a unos 65 km de Minya. El asentamiento de la cantera de Hatnub, con tres canteras principales, como las asociadas a las minas de oro del Uadi Hammamat y a otras, está caracterizada por la protección contra el viento de la piedra seca, caminos, calzadas, mojones y alineamientos de piedra.

  • Hetnub, anche Hatnub ("dell'oro" in lingua egizia), è un sito archeologico in Egitto, a sud-est di Amarna e a circa 65 km da Minya. Fin dall'antichità la località era nota per le sue cave di calcite translucida - detta impropriamente alabastro - impiegata fin dal periodo protodinastico per la produzione di vasi. La zona è ricca di iscrizioni che ricordano le spedizioni inviate da vari sovrani allo scopo di ricavare pietre per la costruzione di templi e strutture funerarie. (it)

The Hatnub quarry settlement, associated with three principal quarries, like those associated with gold mines in the Wadi Hammamat and elsewhere, are characterized by drystone windbreaks, roads, causeways, cairns and stone alignments. Hatnub was first described in modern times by Percy Newberry and Howard Carter in 1891. There are many inscriptions on the rocks, and these were first described by George Willoughby Fraser and , members of this same expedition. For nearly hundred years, archaeologists concentrated on finding and translating these inscriptions which illuminated much ordinary life in ancient Egypt. Only when Ian Shaw and his team began studying the material remains were the two integrated to give a fuller picture. For example, no New Kingdom inscriptions were found, and it was thought that the quarries were not used during that period. Shaw and his team found New Kingdom pottery fragments showing that workers from this period must have used the quarries. (en)
