Abstract
In the course of the season of 1997/98, facsimiles of the inscriptions and scenes inside the burial chamber of Iufaa were prepared. Following that, the lid of his massive outer sarcophagus was raised and moved aside, revealing a cavity with sides inscribed in relief where a basalt inner sarcophagus rested under a layer of crushed mudbrick and gypsum mortar. Inside the inner sarcophagus, a badly damaged wooden coffin came to light with the mummy of the deceased, with a gilded face and covered with a finely worked net of faience beads. On the mummy, about 20 amulets were found, as well as golden cases on all the finger and toe tips. According to the preliminary anthropological examination, Iufaa died rather prematurely between the ages of 25 and 30.
