The first aim of the project is to provide an appropriate edition and analysis of the stone sarcophagus and the inner wooden coffin of Aashyt, a wife of king Montuhotep II (approx. 2009-1959 BCE). In spite of its fame only parts of the decoration of the outer sarcophagus have been published so far in photographs of very uneven quality; this is similarly true for the less famous coffin. Still, the importance of both objects as testimonies of Egyptian culture during the transition from the First Intermediate Period to the Middle Kingdom is out of question. As for their analysis, a combination of different perspectives is envisaged. These include: 1) A thorough philological analysis of the inscriptions (Coffin texts, decorative texts and captions). 2) Detailed description of the images. Identifications of scenes and motifs. 3) Analysis of the content of texts and images: themes, motifs, and their significance for the deceased (and eventually other persons). 4) Reconstruction of the programme of decoration, i.e. identification of relations between decorative elements and between a text or image and its position in space. 5) Observation of Details which might reveal aspects of the production of the two objects. Incorporation of information on Aashyts burial (archive of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 6) Studies on the transmission of texts and images. 7) Studies on the cultural-historical background: the possible influence of the specific historical situation (foundation of the Middle Kingdom) and the deceaseds royal status. 8) Comparison with the results of earlier contributions a) on the principles of decoration of coffins from the Middle Kingdom and other periods. b) on the pictorial decoration, mainly from an art-historians perspective. 9) Methodological reflections. 10) Palaeography.

该项目的第一个目的是提供一个适当的版本和分析的石棺和内木棺材的Aashyt，国王蒙图霍特普二世的妻子（约。（1959年-1959年）。尽管它的名声，只有部分装饰的外部石棺已公布的照片，迄今质量非常参差不齐;这是同样的情况下，不太有名的棺材。尽管如此，这两件物品作为从第一中间时期到中王国过渡时期埃及文化的证据的重要性是毫无疑问的。至于对它们的分析，设想将不同的观点结合起来。这些包括：1）对铭文（棺材文本、装饰文本和标题）进行彻底的文字学分析。2)图像的详细描述。场景和主题的识别。3)分析文本和图像的内容：主题，图案，以及它们对死者（最终是其他人）的意义。4)装饰方案的重建，即识别装饰元素之间的关系以及文本或图像与其空间位置之间的关系。5)观察细节，这可能会揭示两个对象的生产方面。关于Aashyts埋葬的信息的合并（大都会艺术博物馆档案，纽约。6)研究文本和图像的传播。7)文化历史背景研究：具体历史环境（中王国的建立）和已故皇家地位的可能影响。8)与先前捐款结果的比较 a）关于中王国和其他时期棺材装饰的原则。 B）关于图画装饰，主要是从艺术史学家的角度。9)方法论反思。10)古文字学
