	Sarcophagus to be opened after 4600 years - theage.com.au
		The limestone sarcophagus still had its lid glued on, which "proves that no one opened it since (about) 4600 years ago," said Zahi Hawass, who led the excavation.

		The tomb where the sarcophagus was found is two kilometres south-east of the Sphinx in a large cemetery for the workmen who built the pyramids, tombs and temples on the Giza plateau, he said.

	Sarcophagus (Getty Museum)
		Burial in fired clay coffins was popular in East Greece in the 500s B.C. Most of these coffins were plain or very simply decorated, but around 550 B.C. the city of Clazomenae, on the coast of modern Turkey, began producing examples with elaborately decorated frames.
		The Getty Museum's example is special because the plain body of the sarcophagus is preserved, as well as the decorated frame.
		On the frame, a fine white clay covers the coarse gritty clay of the sarcophagus; the decoration uses methods used on vases, including the fl-figure technique as seen here.
