1. Satinteti's Offering Table: A Reused Block from Princess Watetkhethor Zeshzeshet's Chapel in the Teti Pyramid Cemetery, Saqqara.

Abstract

This article analyses the offering table from the chapel of Satinteti, a Memphite Priestess of Hathor, dating to the First Intermediate Period. The false-door and side-pieces are now held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (24.593a–c). The offering table, however, is still in the Teti Pyramid Cemetery and was fashioned from a reused block from the chapel of Princess Watetkhethor Zeshzeshet, the eldest daughter of King Teti of the Sixth Dynasty. The former inscriptions on the offering table are transcribed and the block digitally resituated on the southern wall of room B5 in Watetkhethor's chapel. The dating for the chapel is assessed from several perspectives, and the technique and motivations for the reuse of the offering table are discussed. It is proposed that Satinteti may have deliberately sought a block from the chapel of this earlier, eminent woman in the completion of her own monument. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

While the word " out " refers commonly to the embalmer, some clues on the walls of Old Kingdom tombs would tend to prove that the duty of an out is wider than what it seems. Indeed, the study of funeral procession and offerings scenes, as well as the tomb's owner titles, suggests that the out's duty goes beyond the scope of the mummification and includes all the process of the deceased's ritualization.; Alors que le terme " out " désigne couramment l'embaumeur, certains indices trouvés sur les parois des tombes de l'Ancien Empire tendent à montrer que la charge du out est plus vaste qu'il n'y paraît. En effet, l'étude des scènes de procession funéraire et de présentation des offrandes, ainsi que de la titulature des propriétaires des tombes suggère que la fonction du out dépasse le cadre de la momification pour englober tout le processus de ritualisation du défunt.
