In this lecture, Kara Cooney will discuss her latest book, Recycling for Death, a meticulous study of the social, economic, and religious significance of coffin reuse during the Ramesside and early 3rd Intermediate periods. Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology, and the numerous tombs, coffins, Books of the Dead, and mummies of the 20th and 21st Dynasties have not been fully utilized as social documents, mostly because the data of this period is scattered and difficult to synthesize. This lecture is the culmination of 15 years of coffin study, analyzing coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the 19th to the 22nd Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation.
