Wooden Visions of Eternity
This study presents a comprehensive archaeometric and technological investigation of seven wooden statues dating to the Old Kingdom (ca. 2686–2181 BCE ) discovered at Saqqara, Egypt. 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…
A Multi Analytical Investigation of the Original Materials and Previous Conservation Interventions Used in Tutankhamun’s Painted Wooden Bed
The bed under study originates from the New Kingdom’s 18th Dynasty, attributed to King Tutankhamun’s reign (1336–1327 B.C.). Among the artifacts discovered in Tutankhamun’s tomb, six daily beds were unearthed, with two located in the antechamber and the remainder in the annex. This study presents the first analytical investigation of one of these beds since the discovery of the tomb in 1922, which was found in poor condition at the north end of t…
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…

Tutankhamun’s Polychrome Wooden Shawabtis
To the best of our knowledge, such a detailed study on polychrome wooden shawabtis of King Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty in ancient Egypt) has not been reported in the literature, so the purpose of our study is to noninvasively identify the polychrome layers and previously applied materials for a number of wooden shawabtis that belong to King Tutankhamun through a protocol based on imaging techniques integrated with single-spot spectroscopic techniqu…
