Articles or books almost always pertain to more than one heading of the above classification, but an article or book is classified under that heading where, in our opinion, lies its centre of interest. Cross-references are included in a way similar to that of the bibliographies in Gleanings from Deir el-Medîna and Village Voices. However, as the numbering system current in those bibliographies has been dropped in the present integrated list, the cross-references are given in the form of abbreviated titles.
In addition to these references, the different groups to which a title may possibly be assigned are indicated with the title itself, together with the main heading, by means of capitals between square brackets. "[E] [Q]", for instance, indicates that the title in question mainly belongs to group E "Individual ostraca or small groups of them", and that a cross-reference to this title is given at the end of group Q "Religion and cult". If the user wishes to collect all titles associated with one specific group, say Q, then these titles will be found immediately by means of the query "[Q]" (to be typed with the square brackets). In this way it will not be necessary to check the cross-references at the end of the groups.
