Lauren Dogaer
Lauren Dogaer studied Ancient History and Archaeology: Egyptology at the KU Leuven University (Belgium). Her main research interests are centred around the religious-funerary practices of Graeco-Roman Egypt and more particularly in the Theban area. Currently, she is working as a doctoral assistant at the University of Basel for the project 'Beyond the Text. New Funerary Compositions from the Graeco-Roman Period: Textualities and Archaeology in Thebes'. Her PhD has the preliminary title 'Bridging Temple and Necropolis. A Socio-Cultural Study of Priesthoods in Ptolemaic Thebes.'

This event is part of the PRIMA research project Beyond the Text. New Funerary Compositions in the Graeco-Roman Period: Textualities and Archaeology in Thebes and is sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
The Ptolemaic period (332 - 30 BC) saw the emergence of new funerary compositions with diversified contents and formats that would gradually supplant the famous Book of the Dead, particularly in the Theban area.
The goal of this international conference is to connect textual, religious, socio-economical and historical backgrounds. The conference will bring together egyptologists, papyrologists and archaeologists, involved in research related to the Theban area during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, to discuss funerary, documentary and archaeological sources and examine the socio-cultural factors and the influence of local cults, that could have contributed to the evolution of late funerary literature.
The multicultural society of the Graeco-Roman Period allows for the study of religious interactions between various cultures. Longstanding religious traditions were still honoured and sometimes even expanded. Simultaneously the country was ruled by ethnic foreigners with a diverse cultural background. This contradiction has somehow led to a separate approach regarding the study of this period. Traditional Egyptian practices, especially when it comes to religious affairs, are mainly studied by Egyptologists. On the other hand, economic matters are regularly being looked into by papyrologists. This has certainly to do with the nature of the sources, as information about Egyptian religion can more easily be deduced from funerary texts than from documentary papyri. However, the latter can also instruct us about religious practices and more specifically about sacerdotal titles held by priests. These titles not only appear in various documents and languages but also in different cultural contexts, either Greek or Egyptian. Therefore, this paper will assemble and analyse attestations of priestly titles in both funerary and documentary papyri originating from the Theban area. In addition, a first attempt will be made to assimilate the aforementioned attestations in Greek/Demotic, often referred to by papyrologists, with Egyptian jargon used by Egyptologists.
Door de eeuwen heen evolueerde het dalfeest en werd de route die de god Amon volgde van Karnak naar Dayr al-Bahri steeds complexer. De oudste vermeldingen dateren uit het Middenrijk (2040 – 1780 v.Chr.), en algemeen wordt aangenomen dat het feest in de Grieks-Romeinse periode (ca. 332 v.Chr. – 285 na Chr.) niet meer als dusdanig gevierd werd. Recent onderzoek toont echter iets anders aan.
