This is the first complete book on Egyptian funerary cones since Davies & Macadam's which was published in 1957.

In this paper, the author discusses Nakhtmin, the owner of Theban tomb (TT) 87, who was active during the reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. The examination of six types of funerary cones revealed that the tomb was not Nakhtmin's only tomb, and that he had had another one in the Khokhah area before he constructed TT 87. The question then arises as to why he constructed TT 87 at Sheikh Abd el-Qurna area even though he already had another tomb (which is now missing). The author suggests that the unexpected promotion to "Overseer of the Double Granaries in Upper and Lower Egypt" caused Nakhtmin to construct a new tomb to reflect his new social position. This idea is mainly backed up by Nakhtmin's two shrines at Gebel es-Silsila.

This article presents newly unearthed albeit minor fragments originally belonging to one of the so-called ‘Lost Tombs’, namely TT C4 belonging to a Merymaat, wab-priest of the goddess Maat. Situated on the lower northeastern slope of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna and probably created during the first half of Amenhotep III’s reign, the tomb was eventually re-discovered in the 1960’s. Although from different contexts, the fragments published here were all recovered from the wider area surrounding the tomb.

This study focuses on a collection of eighteen Egyptian funerary cones that form part of the collection of the Oriental Museum, Durham. The cones, which were acquired by the museum in 1951, have never been on public display and have never appeared in any publications. This study has three main aims: i) to catalogue each funerary cone in the collection of the Oriental Museum, Durham, ii) to document the history of this group of funerary cones before they were acquired by the Oriental Museum, and iii) to assess the value of this collection in terms of how representative it is as a sample of the six hundred plus different types of funerary cones known to exist. This project offers a rare chance to document a previously unpublished group of funerary cones and aims to evaluate the importance of this collection in terms of the wider field of funerary cone studies.
