| Summary: | This article aims to expand the notion of amulets in Ancient Egypt through the discussion of aspects of the contextualization of these objects in non-elite cemeteries. Therefore, we will demonstrate contextual variability and a social diversity characterized by different practices, appropriations and re-significations of this material culture in burials. The intention is to question general interpretations of amulets constructed from textual and iconographic sources available only to the elite. Through contextual analysis of data of amulets found in cemeteries from three sites, Gurob, Matmar and Lahun, we aim to reflect on the different practices and beliefs regarding the non-elite. |
