The Tebtunis Papyrus Project (TPP) is a research and teaching project based at the University of California, Berkeley. The TPP's mission is to enhance understanding of, provide context for, and give access to the Tebtunis Papyrus collection. The Tebtunis Papyri are the largest collection of papyrus texts in the Americas, with over 26,000 fragments. The papyri date from the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD and come from the town of Tebtunis in Egypt.
