The objects published in this book belong to the Eighth Lot of
antiquities found in Bab el-Gasus, the collective tomb of the priests
and priestesses of Amun (Theban necropolis, 21st Dynasty), currently
kept at the Geographic Society of Lisbon. In this undisturbed tomb - the
largest ever found in Egypt - 153 burial assemblages were uncleared.
Combining new conceptual frameworks with epigraphic methods of survey,
this catalogue proposes a thorough methodology for the textual
description and visual documentation of each object, having in mind the
future development of comparative studies with the whole sample of more
than 250 coffins and mummy-covers found in the tomb.
