Foundation marker from Seti I, Dyn.19

Copper foundation marker bearing the throne name of King Amenhotep III, Neb-maat-re, in a cartouche.
“Apart from their ritual significance, the foundation deposits have proved invaluable to archaeologists from a chronological point of view, since they often include large numbers of plaques inscribed with the name of the ruler responsible for the construction of the building in question.” (Shaw & Nicholson 1995:103).
Foundation Marker
“Foundation deposits: Among the ceremonies that were performed when the foundation was laid of a temple, or pyramid, or fortress, was the deposit, in a secure and secret part of it, of a series of pieces of each material that was used in the construction of the building. And the founder’s name was usually cut or stamped in each piece. The deposit that Ramses II placed in the foundation of one of his buildings at Thebes included models of his bricks, of which a specimen has come down to us.” (Budge 1989:450)
