Artifact Type: Funerary equipment History

Funerary equipment denotes objects found in burials. The primary object in this category is the sarcophagus—a coffin made from stone that would house the body of the deceased. Fragments of physical sarcophagi as well as casts of the object are included in this category. For other object types that can be included as part of the funerary or burial assemblage, such as jewellery, weapons, or vessels, consult the categories of ‘Jewellery’, ‘Weapons’, and ‘Vessels’ respectively.
