%X As Michel Dewachter highlighted in 1985, the titlepage on the earliest manuscript of the Journal  d’Entrée, the accession registers for the Egyptian  Museum Cairo, identifies it as the finds journal for  “the Excavations of H.H. the Viceroy” Said Pasha,  beginning in 1858, and the first several thousand  entries are in the hand of Auguste Mariette, appointed  by Said as antiquities and museum commissioner.  This article introduces the way in which the registers  took shape, between archaeological sites and museum  plans, and lists the several object assemblages to be  found in the records for the first year 1858-1859. One  group comprises basketry, cosmetic and food vessels,  seal-amulets and the coffin of a woman. These finds  offer an opportunity to assess the record of the deposit  against the items identifiable now, 165 years later, in  the museum, within the wider histories of  archaeological fieldwork, ancient burial practices, and  the vulnerable material frame of the museum  collection.
