Summary:

In order to clarify the career of chief architect Kha and his role in western Thebes during the second half of the XVIIIth dynasty, Russo compiles a biographical outline of his official role, his working activities, and prospographical data concerning his relationship with his contemporaries. Most of the evidence comes from his tomb chapel, TT8, particularly the gifts from kings and officials that were left to accompanied him in the afterlife. She covers the 1906 discovery of the tomb, analysis of the artefacts, the artefacts found outside the tomb, and suppositions concerning the Great Place.
