Peeters Publishers MastaBase: A Research Tool for the Study of the Secular or 'Daily Life' Scenes and Their Accompanying Texts in the Elite Tombs of the Memphite Area in the Old Kingdom
The Leiden Mastaba Project (LMP) concerns an integral and analytic study of the secular or 'daily life' scenes and their accompanying texts in the elite tombs of the Memphite area in the Old Kingdom (c. 2600-2150 B.C.). The project has the aim to get insight in the developments of number, size, internal organization and shape of the various (sub)themes, their location in the tomb, their wall position (upper/middle/lower level), and their orientation (north/east/south/west) on the walls. This reflects the dynamics of Old Kingdom funerary culture in general aspects (collective) and in specific cases (individual). Simultaneously it reveals possible local variations, mainly among the large necropoleis of Saqqara and Giza. The data are digitalized in a database called MastaBase, published on this cd-rom. Thanks to the standardisation of the material offered in the MastaBase, with this cd-rom it is now possible to gain quick oversights into various different aspects of these tombs and their decoration via extensive selection procedures.

Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO) The Coffin of Djedmonthuiufankh in the National Museum of Antiquities at Leiden I: Technical and Iconographic/Iconological Aspects
This book is an in-depth study of a XXIst-early XXIInd Dynasty anthropoid coffin. It is modelled on a combination of D.L. Clarke's analytical and E. Panofsky's iconographic/iconological approaches to archaeological and art historical data respectively. The introductory chapter is followed by an "Analytical Description" which consists of two parts. In "Technical Aspects" the data are handled typologically and statistically, and the coffin's place among its corpus is established. In "Iconographic Description and Analysis" all decorative motifs and individual (often unique) vignettes are studied in detail. The "Preliminary Iconological Synthesis" in which the coffin and its corpus are placed in the broad cultural-historical framework at Thebes, concludes this volume. The book contains tables, diagrams, and over 500 illustrations.
