The research aims to characterize the materials, manufacturing techniques, and surface treatments employed by ancient Egyptian craftsmen to ensure both the structural durability and symbolic efficacy of statuary intended to house the ka , or vital essence, of the dec…
Insights into Wood Species and Woodworking Techniques in Corn Mummy Coffins from the Ptolemaic Period, Ancient Egypt
This study aimed to enhance the understanding of wood species utilization, woodworking techniques, and timber trade practices during the Ptolemaic Period.

Investigation of Biological and Thermal Deterioration
Biological and thermal deterioration represent the primary degradation factors affecting buried organic artefacts within the Saqqara necropolis. The examined wooden statue, originating from the Old Kingdom (2575–2134 BCE ), was excavated at the Bubasteum archaeological site in Saqqara. During its interment, the artefact underwent thermal decomposition and extensive insect infestation. This study aims to evaluate the condition of both the wooden s…
