Archaeology of Touchstones

Hardcover || Martin Ježek || Sidestone Press

Did ancient Europeans truly believe in an active after-life, as modern Europeans would like to think they did? What purpose did grave-goods actually serve?

Searching for answers to these questions is the aim of this book which has been written on the basis of widely spread, typical components of grave-goods....

2017 || Hardcover || Salima Ikram e.a. || Sidestone Press

Palma The Coffins of the Priests of Amun

Paperback || Lara Weiss || Sidestone Press

Ancient Egyptian coffins provided a shell to protect the deceased both magically and physically. They guaranteed an important requirement for eternal life: an intact body. Not everybody could afford richly decorated wooden coffins. As commodities, coffins also played a vital role in the daily life of the living and marked their owner's taste and status. Coffin history is an ongoing process and does not end with the ancient burial. The coffins that were discovered and shipped to museums have b...
