	IBAES 3 - SUMMARY
		Funerary complexes are installations manifested by a building, which have been created and used in the frame of funerary practice of a society.
		Funerary culture as manifestation of funerary practice is represented by the objects of burial equipment (inter alias the tomb statues) but also by the concepts activated during funerary cult and by the institutions created in funerary cult.
		Two tendencies are characteristic for period II of funerary practice: the concentration of cultural innovation at the residence and the addition of a permanent cult area to the place of burial.

	Funerary text - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its purpose is usually to provide guidance to the newly deceased or the soon-to-be-deceased about how to survive and prosper in the afterlife.
		The most famous example of funerary literature is that of the ancient Egyptians, whose Book of the Dead was buried with the deceased to guide him or her through the various trials that would be encountered before being allowed into the underworld.
		Similar practices were followed by followers of the cult of Orpheus, who lived in southern Italy and Crete in the 6th–1st century BC.

	NAGPRA LEGAL MANDATES: US House Report 101-877
		The original acquisition of a Native American funerary object, sacred object, or object of cultural patrimony from an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with the voluntary consent of an individual or group with authority to alienate such object is deemed to give right of possession of that object.
		SUMMARY Due to the possible high number of unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony, this section is intended to make it easier for the Federal agencies, museums, and institutions of higher education to compile and survey the objects they have in their possession or under their control.
		Human remains of funerary objects found on federal land would be returned to the most closely affiliated tribes, permits would be required for excavation of remains found on federal or tribal lands, and it would be illegal to trade in Native American remains of funerary objects.

	Funerary and Other Masks of Ancient Egypt
		An example, of course, is the famous funerary mask of Tutankhamun now in the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo, though certainly most funerary masks were not made of solid gold.
		Funerary masks and other facial coverings for mummies emphasized the ancient Egyptian belief in the fragile state of transition that the dead would have to successfully transcend in their physical and spiritual journey from this world to their divine transformation in the next.
		The last examples we have of funerary masks are actually painted linen shrouds of which the upper part was pressed into a mold to produce the effect of a three dimensional plaster mask.

	ALA: Section IX: Funerary texts
		They all use formulae standard in Aphrodisian funerary texts of the Roman imperial period, expressing the ownership of the funerary monument, and the penalties payable for its misuse — even though both 147 and 148 were clearly inscribed on re-used monuments.
		IX.16 The number of funerary epigrams discovered at Aphrodisias is not particularly great, and the majority (54, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 242, 250) seem to belong to the Late Antique period.
		This is most obviously the case with the inscriptions which came from the tomb of Bishop Theopropius (165, 166) of which one is on the lintel of the tomb doorway; both these are in the genitive, as are 167, where a noun may have preceded the genitive, and 168 — where the noun is given.

		Funerary objects not made exclusively for burial purposes are considered associated when both the object(s) and its intended human remains are present in a museum's collection.

	"The archaeological analysis of inscribed Egyptian funerary cones." by Donald P. Ryan.
		These objects are often conical shaped and are generally referred to as "funerary cones".
		Without wishing to discount the wonderful information that can be derived from the texts found upon these objects, it should be pointed out that few publications have gone beyond the commentary of the texts to consider the objects as a whole.
		Additionally, friezes of funerary stamps seem to appear in certain Theban tomb scenes which apparently depict external views of intact tombs.

	Funerary Figurines including Shabti, Shawabti and Ushabti: Workers for the Dead
		Hence, the designation of "funerary figurines" is at least accurate for all types in all periods.
		Until that period, the figurines had almost always taken the form of mummies, but now they began to be fashioned with baskets, sacks and hoes or mattocks held in their hands, on the chest or waist.
		So many of these funerary figurines were produced that, apart from scarabs and amulets, they are the most numerous of all ancient Egyptian antiquities.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.02.10
		It is one of the cardinal virtues of Frisone's (hereafter "F") book that she recognizes throughout this emphasis on community stabilization as paramount, though certainly her interpretations of the evidence she considers leave little doubt that she would align herself more closely with the interpretations of Robert Parker or Sourvinou-Inwood.
		In this volume, the outgrowth of the author's University of Lecce thesis in Greek epigraphy, F. examines painstakingly the surviving epigraphical evidence for funerary legislation predating the Hellenistic period, along with two third century inscriptions (under her consideration are inscriptions from Gortyn, Cumae, Ioulis, Delphi, Thasos, Gambreion and Nisyros, in that order).
		Perhaps the most convincing theme of F.'s book is her sustained attack on the notion of funerary legislation as having any purely anti-sumptuary intent; indeed, it would seem any future attempts to explain the motivation of funerary legislation as principally economic will founder against F.'s analysis.

	Egypt: Funerary Cones (Funerary Stamps)
		Artifacts, often in a conical shape made of fired clay bearing stamped funerary text on their circular face, are generally referred to as funerary cones.
		While funerary cones are mostly associated with the West Bank at Thebes (modern Luxor), they have also been found at Naga ed-Deir and el-Deir north of Esna.
		One of the facets of Egyptology that funerary cones indicate is that their are many more tombs to be discovered.

	Kheru Article - Funerary Rites in Ancient Egypt - Seshat Sithathor
		The priests were needed to draw up complex funerary texts, perform mummification rituals, and to magically "activate" the mummies of the dead as well as the special artifacts they required in their tombs.
		Everything placed in a tomb had some ritual significance and was made to serve the dead and ensure their comfort as well as to provide an almost certain guarantee of their eternal life in the hereafter.
		These abbreviated funerary texts were inscribed and illustrated inside coffins, ostensibly to be read by the deceased so they could find their way to the West and the Field of Reeds via the circumpolar stars, where Osiris was believed to dwell and reign.

		Changes in Jewish funerary practices did not alter the plan and architecture of the tombs.
		Though the funerary rites changed from inhumation in coffins and loculi to secondary burial by collecting bones in ossuaries the artifacts associated with these graves did not modify much and indicate that these were culturally and socially identical people.
