Burial and Mortuary Practices in Late Period and Graeco-Roman Egypt

The present volume collects papers presented at the international conference ‘Burial and Mortuary Practices in Late Period and Graeco-Roman Egypt’ organised by the Egyptian Department of the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, and held on 17–19 July 2014. The aim of the conference was to share up-to-date information and research on the funerary culture of Late Period and Graeco-Roman Egypt, addressing both past and current issues and themes. In addition to reconsidering and reinterpreting published text and artefacts, as well as previously known archae­ological sites, a special objective was to integrate into the discussion unpublished materials preserved in museum collections, archival records relating to earlier excavations and research, as well as recent archaeological discoveries.
