  • A New Egyptian Human Mummified Head in the Slovak National Museum, Bratislava

    Open AccessAlena Šefčáková, Jozef Hudec et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Egyptian Archaeology2005

    A mummified human head was recently anthropologically investigated and its provenance checked in the Anthropological Department, Slovak National Museum, Bratislava. The head is of a 35- to 45-year-old male. Its original provenance is unknown but both historical sources and the testimony of the first Hungarian Egyptologist Eduard Mahler suggest that the mummy head belongs to the Fifteenth Dynasty (Second Intermediate Period). However, the present …

  • The Saite-Persian Cemetery at Abusir in 2003

    LADISLAV BAREŚ, Květa Smoláriková et al.ARTICLEZeitschrift für Ägyptische…2005

    During the Spring 2003, a small shaft was examined to the south-west of the tomb of Udjahorresnet that most probably served for storing the vessels and materials used during the mummification. In the tomb of Iufaa,the reconstruction works continued, as well as the study of the texts on the sides of the chamber and sarcophagi. In the wider area of the tomb of Iufaa, to the south-west of it, the cleaning of the place continued where fragments of wh…

  • Paleopathological find of a sacral neurilemmoma from ancient Egypt

    Open AccessEugen Strouhal, Alena NěmečkováARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2004Cited by: 1References: 11

    A large, smooth‐walled cavity molded from the pressure of a relatively hard, globular, and lobulated tissue mass was found inside the sacrum of the mature female, Imakhetkherresnet. She was the sister of the lector‐priest Iufaa, whose unmolested tomb dates to the late 26th Dynasty (prior to 625 BC). The origin of the lesion could be determined unambiguously by macroscopic, radiographic, and histological analysis. It was caused by a neurilemmoma (…

  • Abusir-Spring 2002

    During the Spring season of 2002, the restoration and conservation work continued in the tomb of Iufaa. In addition to that, a middle-sized shaft tomb has been fully excavated some 60 metres from this structure. This tomb, with its mud brick superstructure built according to a rather unique plan, was found thoroughly robbed Excavation started in another larger shaft tomb, situated to the south-east from that of Iufaa. Here, numerous fragments of …

  • Palaeopathology of Iufaa and other persons found beside his shaft tomb at Abusir (Egypt)

    Open AccessEugen Strouhal, Alena Němečková et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2003Cited by: 3References: 3

    Pathological changes of the lector priest Iufaa are compared with those revealed on the skeletons of his two relatives Imakhetkherresnet and Nekawer, and of an unrelated male Padihor. They were discovered in 2001 in the vicinity of Iufaa's monumental shaft tomb, dating from late 26th dynasty (before 525 BC). The complex was found unmolested by robbers. Congenital anomalies, osteoporosis, degenerative joint changes, post-traumatic changes and mayb…

  • The shaft tomb of Iufaa at Abusir in 2001

    LADISLAV BAREŚ, Martin Dvořák et al.ARTICLEZeitschrift für Ägyptische…2002Cited by: 1

    In Spring 2001, a rather vast complex of rooms, dug in the tafl bedrock and originally vaulted, was unearthed in front of the eastern facade of the main shaft in the tomb. Most probably, this complex served the funerary cult of the tomb owner. Thus, for the first time, the cult installations are archaeologically attested in any of the Late Period shaft tombs. In a corridor that partly surrounds the main shaft, two undisturbed burials in wooded co…

  • Case of metastatic carcinoma from end of the 8th–Early 9th century Slovakia

    Open AccessAlena Šefčáková, Eugen Strouhal et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2001Cited by: 8References: 2

    The first case of metastatic carcinoma ever detected in Slovakia comes from a Slavonic cemetery at Borovce, in the district of Piešt'any, which is dated from the end of the 8th to the middle of the 12th century AD. The disease afflicted a 50–60‐year‐old male, buried in a grave from the older phase of inhumation (8th–early 9th century AD). A number of osteolytic metastases were found in all bones of the skull and postcranial skeleton except for th…

  • The Shaft-tomb of Iufaa - Season of 1997/98

    In the course of the season of 1997/98, facsimiles of the inscriptions and scenes inside the burial chamber of Iufaa were prepared. Following that, the lid of his massive outer sarcophagus was raised and moved aside, revealing a cavity with sides inscribed in relief where a basalt inner sarcophagus rested under a layer of crushed mudbrick and gypsum mortar. Inside the inner sarcophagus, a badly damaged wooden coffin came to light with the mummy o…

  • Kissing’ osteochondroma

    Open AccessL Vyhnánek, Eugen Strouhal et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…1999

    The ‘kissing’ osteochondroma is a special type of benign bone outgrowth characteristic of paired long bones. In these cases the bone tumour growing towards the adjacent paired bone causes a reactive impression and erosion on its surface. A case of the ‘kissing’ type of osteochondroma was diagnosed on the forearm bones of an individual from Ancient Egypt (Saqqara, Late Period). It is worth drawing attention to this case not only because of the rar…

    A paleoserological study of human remains from the Christian cemeteries of Sayala (Lower Nubia, 6th–11th centuries A. D.) was carried out by applying two techniques (absorption‐elution and haemagglutination‐inhibition), on two types of substratum (bones and hair), in separate laboratories (Pisa and Prague). The aim of research was to evaluate the degree of repeatability of the results and the reliability of the final paleoserological diagnoses. T…

  • A case of metastatic carcinoma from Christian Sayala (Egyptian Nubia)

    Eugen StrouhalARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger1993Cited by: 3

    The paper deals with a case of a most probable metastatic carcinoma, found in skeletal remains of a 35-45 year old female who lived in Sayala, Egyptian Nubia, during the Christian Period. The macroscopic and radiographic morphology supported by microscopic investigation by M. Schultz (Göttingen) revealed the predominating osteoclastic process in the lesions, combining with the slightly expressed osteoblastic component. Single lesions located in t…

    Taking into account the problems in differential diagnosis between lesions caused by the primary osseous tumour myeloma multiplex and the lytic form of metastatic carcinoma even in living patients, several authors of palaeopathological papers have been hesitant in accepting the possibility of distinguishing between the two processes in dry bones. In the light of several newly detected cases of both lesions in material from archaeological sites in…
