Résumé
While there is no shortage of case studies that deal with the Theban tombs (TT), important global questions concerning this necropolis are still to be addressed. One of these gaps regards the spatial relationships between the TT. Furthermore, even if some occasional studies have already touched on this issue, most of them stayed limited to the links between the tomb's orientation and the processional roads or mortuary temples of the kings. This study will propose to turn towards the prosopographical analyses, to which very little attention has been paid so far. Taking a closer look at the neighbours, families, and careers of several tomb owners will provide important insights into the way the necropolis was organized. Indeed, at least some of the tombs were clearly arranged in different groups. They could be distinguished as belonging to members of the same family, holders of the same title or staff attached to the same administrative area, the individuals who seem to have a particular relation with the power, some palace members or even pharaoh himself. Moreover, comparing the plan and the decorative programme of these tombs could also give us a clue for a better understanding of the arrangement of this area.
