| Summary: | The paper gives a first assessment of the newly discovered Tomb 26 in pyramid cemetery SAC5 on Sai Island (Upper Nubia). In 2017, undisturbed burials of the mid – late 18th Dynasty were exposed and yielded high-quality burial items of Egyptian style (wooden coffins, funerary masks, faience and stone vessels, heart scarabs, a stone shabti, steatite scarabs and a number of intact ceramic vessels). The importance of these finds for reconstructing both daily life and death on New Kingdom Sai, an Egyptian temple town and administrative centre, is highlighted. |
