Popis:	The archaeological record at Amarna offers scope to enhance current understanding of domestic religion at this site. The material evidence suggests that conduct undertaken included offering rituals and the use of magic and amuletic images, and involved the royal family and Aten, some 'traditional' deities and private ancestors. Domestic religion appears to have interacted with daily, secular conduct and to have been subject to influence by a variety of factors. The picture of domestic religion at Amarna presented here has potential relevance for domestic religion in general in New Kingdom Egypt.
