Abstract

The second volume of the monograph on the results of archaeological excavation of Werkaure's mastaba and its surroundings is devoted to contexts dating back to the Fist Intermediate Period, the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom and the first millennium BC. The focus of the work is on the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period, when a secondary cemetery was established in the area under examination.

The multidisciplinary publication analyses, in a comprehensive way, beside funerary equipment, wooden coffins, pottery, textiles and their fragments, also anthropological material and uses palynological, botanical, zoological, xylotomic and entomological methods when analysing of taken samples.
