Self-Presentation in the Ramesside Period
The ancient Egyptians possessed no term for such concepts as ‘art,’ ‘history,’ or ‘religion,’ so it is unsurprising that the concept of ‘self-presentation’ lacks a corresponding word in the Egyptian lexicon. Nevertheless, just as the ancient Egyptians were consummate artists, wrote their own historical texts and historical fiction, and expressed in innumerable icons and texts the tenets of the longest visually and textually traceable religion, so they also practiced self-presentation, albeit with greater frequency during certain periods of their history. If one examines the concept of the ‘self’ for the ancient Egyptians, the underlying complexity and richness of material suggests

Preliminary Report for the 2008–2009 Season of the Mo'alla Survey Project
In the winter of 2008–2009, the Yale University Mo'alla Survey Project (MSP) conducted its first season of fieldwork in the necropolis of Mo'alla and surrounding region. The survey revealed an extensive pharaonic necropolis as well as a small Pan Grave cemetery north of the tomb of Ankhtyfy. An additional cemetery/settlement site south of Mo'alla, with an associated desert track leading into the Eastern Desert, offers new information about the urban landscape of the Third Nome.

Two Unpublished Memphite Relief Fragments in the Yale Art Gallery
Two relief fragments in the Yale Art Gallery are here published for the first time. Their equestrian subject matter, overall carving style, and preserved personal names all indicate a Memphite origin; together with the appearance of the men, their clothing, and the chariot accoutrements, these features imply a late Eighteenth Dynasty date. Individual details are related to analogous scenes in other contemporaneous tombs and placed in the context of the New Kingdom military and its presence at Memphis.

The Late Egyptian underworld: Sarcophagi and related texts from the Nectanebid period
The ancient Egyptian fascination with the deities and events during the twelve hours of the night dwindled only with the demise of Egyptian religion itself. A corpus of large stone sarcophagi produced during the Thirtieth Dynasty, decorated with excerpts from the Underworld Books, known primarily from New Kingdom royal tombs, offer a unique opportunity to explore the conceptions of the Netherworld during the Late Period in Egypt. The present work represents the first examination of the decoration of these monuments, as well as the only detailed treatment of Late Period copies of the Underworld Books. Not only do the sarcophagi texts preserve entirely new passages and variants of each of the major netherworldly compositions—the Books of Amduat, Gates, Caverns, Book of the Night, Creation of the Solar Disk, and the Litany of Re—they also combine these texts in unique and exciting ways to create entirely new Underworld Books. Four different Late Period sarcophagus types are identified for the first time, each of which use a carefully selected array of Underworld Books arranged in such a way as to form a unified representation of the nightly solar journey. The sarcophagi bear witness to a meticulous editing process, which often included new text composed to incorporate the deceased into the solar cycle. Connections between the Underworld Books and the wealth of Late Period funerary papyri, never before examined, provide further evidence for the renaissance in the study of netherworldly compositions during the Late Period.
