Cultural and social interactions in Napatan Nubia (750-270 BCE): royal/elite and non-elite funerary amulets (Arbeitstitel) (gefördert vom DAAD)

My PhD research aims to analyze the use of funerary amulets from Nubian royal/elite and non-elite during the Napatan period (750-270 BCE). As these amulets exhibit Egyptian influences, the research explores the cultural interactions between Nubia and Egypt that shaped the selective adoption of these amulets in Nubia as well as the social dynamics behind their consumption across different social groups of Nubian society.

This research investigates Coptic funerary practices and burial traditions in Late Antiquity, focusing on the transition from Ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman customs to Christian methods. It aims to distinguish inherited traditions from newly developed ones, assess Christian influences, and explore regional variations in burial customs.
