Sealings of a king's daughter Renyseneb will be examined in detail in terms of their distribution patterns and archaeological context within a probable female habitation sector in the pr h3ty-'. The chronological and social implications of the Renyseneb sealings will be considered in the framework of evidence for the duration of occupation and organization of town administration at Wah-sut.
