Abstract:

The shaft tomb mortuary tradition is an archaeological construct that encompasses a diverse array of burial practices, many of which now seem to reflect local variations in specific treatments of the dead. Distinctive characteristics of shaft tombs in the Tequila valleys of central Jalisco include the high degree of labor invested in tomb construction, the wealth of offerings found within the tombs, and the occasional association of the tombs with the circular public architecture known as the Teuchitlan tradition. These characteristics have led some researchers to see the Tequila valleys as th

In this article we report on the results of our attempts to locate and study shaft-and-chamber tombs in the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta on the southern (Jalisco) side of the Banderas Valley of coastal West Mexico and to place these tombs in the broader context of burial practices in this area during a time corresponding to the Late Preclassic and Early Classic of Mesoamerica. We located and studied nine sites where shaft-and-chamber tombs had reportedly been discovered and looted, but here we focus on three (El Reparito, El Pozo de Doña Amparo, and La Pedrera) where we were able to excavat

Abstract:

In the early 1970s a series of over two dozen unlooted shaft tombs were excavated by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia in the valley of Guadalajara, Jalisco. They still provide the most representative sample of a shaft tomb cemetery known from western Mexico, and they are an underutilized resource for demonstrating significant degrees of social inequality. Here we summarize the findings of the original research in light of more recent work in Jalisco. We aim to demonstrate that the Tabachines cemetery in particular provides evidence for significant social inequalities in the so

Abstract:

The rock-cut tomb of Nefersefekhptah (LG 79/GE 29) on the Eastern plateau of the Giza necropolis, like many other tombs at Giza, has traces of incompleteness and reconstruction, which make it difficult to understand the original idea of the builders as well as to determine the typology and time of the construction of the tomb. However, the study of the context of this structure — the cluster of closely adjacent tombs — allows one to find analogies and put forward an assumption about the original intention of the builders. For instance, it seems that, due to a construction error at the initial

Three new projects on shaft-tomb ceramics seek to advance our understanding of the Late Formative culture and societies of this region.

This new form permitted the development of several burial chambers with distinct functions––a layout that would culminate in large-scale tombs with multiple chambers arranged along a central axis and flanked by side rooms

Abstract:

Three tombs are described, all excavated by the EES–Leiden mission at Saqqâra in 1986. The first was built for Khay, ‘goldwasher of the Lord of the Two Lands’, and his wife, ‘the chantress of Amun’ Tawerethetepti. Most of the scenes are extant. The second, somewhat weather-damaged, is that of his son Pabes, ‘chief of bowmen of the tradesmen’. Both tombs are new architectural types for the Memphite necropolis. The third tomb dates to the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and was erected for Ramose, ‘chief of bowmen of the army’. One of the two shafts in the tomb leads, by way of a robbers' breakth

Abstract:

Cliff tombs and decorated stone sarcophagi from the Eastern Han period have been found in especially large numbers in Sichuan. The sudden rise of cliff tomb burial in the southwest and its decline by the 3rd century CE suggests that it was a trend that answered a particular call in a specific period. Their geographical concentration and use in a period of general social and political stability and economic prosperity in the region point to a distinctive new development in burial custom. Cliff tomb burial represented a fundamental shift in artistic and communicative objectives and a modificatio

Abstract:

Funerary structures were divided into different areas (courtyard, chambers, corridors and shafts). These were conceived to convey an iconographic program, bury human remains, present offerings and carry out rituals during or after the burial. Archaeological studies carried out in different tombs indicate that the reuse of the funerary spaces was a frequent practice. In most cases, the reuse had again a funerary purpose, using the tomb for a new burial or for different rituals. However, in other cases the tomb was used with other purposes related to habitat or workshops. During the 15th archaeo

Abstract:

The dimensional and proportional analysis of rock-cut tombs on a wide range of material has been done before, but has remained unanswered as to the possible causes of their size and proportions. This study based on 79 rock-cut tombs on the Eastern field of the Giza necropolis has attempted to identify the reasons for the proportions and sizes of tomb chapels, and possible ways of their plan preparation during construction. The analysis showed that there was no single universal scheme – the size and proportions of each chapel were set depending on their filling – the presence or absence of a pi

AbstractOne of the most studied subjects in the Olba region is the graves. Nevertheless, new grave forms emerge with each new study conducted there, and old studies are re-evaluated based on recent findings. In some rare cases, results accepted up to now may change. This study addresses such a possibility in terms of burial customs. In this study, tombs, also referred to here as monuments, are considered. Examples of new forms of tomb monuments that were previously unknown, or only a few of which were published before, are presented. The features of these monuments are used to introduce new an

These rock-cut tombs are adjacent structures defined by complex geometries such as chambers, corridors and vertical shafts. The main goal of this study was to discover the spatial relationships between them and obtain a complete 3D model. In addition, some models with realistic textures of the burial chambers were demanded in order to analyse archaeological, architectural and geological as
