| Sumario: | Excavation works carried out inside the funerary Crypt 1 at Sector 29, dating from the Byzantine period at the Upper Necropolis at Oxyrhynchus (Minya, Egypt), have provided some animal deposits that differ significantly, both formally and conceptually, from the habitual food products from their own gardens and stockyard and that neither form part of the community regular diet. As a result, they can be considered ritual funerary offerings that are not related with Christian tradition but could be some reminiscence linked to rituals concerning mummified animals from pharaonic tradition. |
