Burial customs: Ptolemaic Period objects found in elite burials
for burials of lower classes see tombs at Matmar |
The Greek population followed Greek burial customs. There are many urns known from Alexandria; and there are some entirely Greek style coffins known from Egypt. Finally the custom to place objects of daily use in a burial starts again under the Ptolemies. The custom seems to be related to Greeks living in Egypt.
