“Coffins
and Sarcophagi in Ancient 1. We will start with an introduction to the different forms of coffins and sarcophagi in Egypt and try to define them. 2. After a typological overview of the Middle Kingdom coffins, we will start to identify local workshops and styles. 3. Together we will identify the beginning of the development of new coffin types during the Second Intermediate Period that leads to the New Kingdom standard types. 4. Through sign-by-sign comparison, we will identify the sources of some prominent New Kingdom coffins and sarcophagi. 5. Our last exercise will train us to distinguish early New Kingdom coffins from those of the third Intermediate Period and the following Late Period.
