Resumo: The study of the Household Religion in Ancient Egypt is based on textual and material sources, though the greatest contribution comes from these latter. However, to the relevance of these sources is added a large number of difficulties that must be overcome in order to maximize the information available. To illustrate these difficulties and simultaneously the contribution of the archaeological sources, this article presents to concrete examples; The Box Beds and the clay figurines. Through these cases it is possible to realize the interpretation difficulties when dealing with material sources, the relevance of comparison, but also the diversity of information they provide.

Contudo, à relevância destas fontes acrescenta-se um grande número de dificuldades que é necessário ultrapassar de modo a potenciar as informa-ções disponibilizadas.Para ilustrar estas dificuldades e em simultâneo o contributo das fontes arqueológicas este artigo apresenta dois exemplos concretos: as Box Bed e as figuras de barro. Através destes casos é possível perceber as dificuldades de interpretação associadas às fontes materiais, a relevância da comparação de fontes mas também a diversidade de informações que elas disponibilizam.RUNMota, Susana2016-12-06T11:41:37Z20122012-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/19521engMota, Susana, The Household Religion in ancient Egypt: What do the archaeological evidences tell us? in Hathor - Studies of Egyptology, 1, 2012, pp. 31-61.2182-1259info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:00:58Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/19521Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:25:29.203348Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
