Introduction: Art, Identity, and Funerary Religion
Abstract
Abstract One of the challenges facing historians of ancient art is to view it with the eyes of its original audience in so far as that is possible. Our own eyes, accustomed to the aftermaths of the Renaissance and the photographic age, must be trained to see in unfamiliar ways, and our minds to appreciate the difference.

It is arguable that the complete spectrum of society is represented at Abusir el-Meleq, ranging from Late Period priests' burials to simple inhumations.
“Rather it seems arguable that the complete spectrum of society is represented, ranging from Late Period priests' burials that stand out by virtue of their size and contents to simple inhumations that are buried with little to no grave goods2.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
