One of them (53) had been looted and part of its architectural structure was lost, but inside there was an anthropomorphic female stone sarcophagus with a slightly displaced lid that had a mummified individual in a rather poor state of preservation, as well as tubular and round beads from the funerary mesh, and an amulet. The second tomb (54) was closed and sealed, and inside it an anthropomorphic male stone sarcophagus with a mummified individual was found. It was accompanied by important grave goods: a large number of amulets, a heart scarab, and abundant tubular and round beads of faience. On the east and west sides of the tomb there were two niches where the four canopic jars had been deposited. Next to the head of the sarcophagus, 399 shabtis were found, some with inscriptions. The discovery of an intact tomb is of great relevance for the knowledge of the Egyptian funerary world since it indicates the place where the objects were placed and their disposition. En el año 2021 se localizaron en la Necrópolis Alta de Oxirrinco dos tumbas individuales de época Saíta (664-525 a.C.) construidas con grandes bloques de piedra caliza. Una de ellas (53) había sido saqueada y parte de su estructura arquitectónica estaba perdida, pero en su interior se localizó un sarcófago antropomorfo femenino de piedra con la tapa algo desplazada que tenía un individuo momificado en bastante mal estado de conservación, así como abundantes canutillos y cuentas de la malla funeraria que lo cubría, y un amuleto. La segunda tumba (54) estaba cerrada y sellada y en su interior se halló un sarcófago antropomorfo masculino de piedra con un individuo momificado que iba acompañado de un importante ajuar funerario: gran cantidad de amuletos, un escarabeo de corazón, y abundantes canutillos y cuentas de fayenza. En los laterales este y oeste de la tumba había dos nichos donde se habían depositado los cuatro vasos canopos. Junto a la cabecera del sarcófago se localizaron 399 ushebtis, alguno con inscripción. El hallazgo de una tumba intacta es de gran relevancia para el conocimiento del mundo funerario egipcio puesto que nos indica el lugar donde estaban colocados los objetos y la disposición de éstos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13734 10.34096/rihao.n24.13734 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13734/12197 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13734/12276 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 24 (2023) 2683-9660 0325-1209 Oxyrhynchus tombs Saite period funerary equipment Oxirrinco tumbas época Saíta ajuar funerario Latest Finds in Oxyrhynchus (El-Bahnasa), Egypt. 2021 Campaign.
