Animal burials, whether buried with human remains or alone, are
frequent discoveries in Egypt yet it can be difficult to
reconstruct their religious and cultural significance. This study
examines animals in human graves, possibly intended as food
offerings, but the emphasis is on independent Predynastic animal
burials because these provide greater archaeological evidence for
animal cults and possible sacrifice. Flores examines the geographic
distribution of the burials and the types of animal represented,
including goats, dogs and, in more elite tombs, donkeys, birds,
bulls and lions. Throughout, comparisons are made between cultures
from Upper and Lower Egypt.
