The research focuses on the yellow coffins dating from the late New Kingdom and the Twenty-First Dynasty. The primary objective of this multidisciplinary approach and investigation is to delve not only into the texts and iconography adorning these artifacts but also into the manufacturing techniques. The aim is to shed light on the workshops, craftspeople, and craftsmanship of that historical period, as well as their relationship with coffins originating from other Theban necropolises.

The cataloging and study of the extensive collection of coffins from Deir el-Medina, still preserved on-site, also seek to comprehend their context, as well as the utilization and reutilization patterns within the necropolis of Deir el-Medina throughout its history. By doing so, the research contributes to understanding the necropolis and the cultural, funerary practices, societal dynamics, and religious life of the time in this unique settlement.
