About this event
Much scholarship has focussed on the Theban and Memphite necropoli but tombs in the provinces provide much information of life in the nomes. This is especially true during the intermediate periods, when Egypt was characterised by a lack of political unity. During this course we will travel up the Nile from Sedment to El Kab, considering how the sites evolve over time, examining evidence from the Predynastic to the New Kingdom. We will also review the accompanying grave goods which reveal much about developing religious thought and practice, particularly at El-Bersheh, where coffins depicting the Book of Two Ways were created. When possible, we will evaluate the relationship of the necropoli to associated settlements and temples/shrines, with the aim of placing them within the sacred and lived landscape.
