Attestation
His name Khakaure-seneb can be associated with Khakaure Senusret III during which reign he may have been born, and he may have lived into the reign of Amenemhat III. His chronological positions among the Nomarchs of Bubastis is not clear.
At Tell Basta, a squatting statue of him was found in the governoral palace.[2]
Statue B 96 from the western wall of the so-called throne hall of the palace:
01 | An offering, that the king gives and Re-Harakhty, the son of Geb, Osiris
02 | the Great Ennead, the row of Upper and Lower Egyptian chapels, and Bastet
03 | lady of Bubastis, (that they may give) an invocation offering, (consisting of) bread, beer, pure cattle and fowl, incense, unguent

Tomb
At Tell Basta, Khakaure-seneb may have been buried at the "governor's cemetery".
He is not to be confused with Khakaureseneb, mayor of Elephantine.
