dc.description.abstract	A preliminary study of the contents of a ceramic coffin found in the area of the Thoth Temple (area 4.1) was carried out on 16 February 2010 in order to get a sense of the contents and what might be needed for a thorough study of bird burials in coffins. The dating of the coffin is uncertain—it has tentatively been dated to the Late Period, but this covers a significant period of time. Perhaps future ceramic analysis, together with the study of the coffin contents, will help to narrow the dating.	en
