Recycling for Death Virtual Book Talk with Kara Cooney

Watch a virtual book talk on "Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches", a meticulous study of the social, economic, and religious significance of coffin reuse and development during the Ramesside and early Third Intermediate periods, illustrated with over 900 images (AUC Press, 2024). AUC Press was delighted to host the author, Kara Cooney, a renowned Egyptologist, professor of Egyptology, and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. About the book: Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology, and the numerous tombs, coffins, Books of the Dead, and mummies of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties have not been fully utilized in this regard, mostly because the data of this time period is scattered and difficult to synthesize. This culmination of fifteen years of coffin study analyzes coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-second Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation.
