An early "long-tub" coffin from 5th century BC Achaemenid Nippur?
ANTHROPOLOGICA ET PRAEHISTORICA, 132:53-62.
With the addition of the evidence provided by the dated tablet CBS 10059 buried together with a ‘long-tub’ coffin, I put into perspective the position of an early type of ‘long-tub’ coffin. Following this evidence, this type of burial belongs into the Late Achaemenid period, although, the so far published evidence shows that this type continues well into the Seleucid and probably also the early Parthian period.
