The relatively elusive nature of preserved human cells in fossilised tissues was recognised prior to the description of fossilised sickle cells by Maat ( 1991 ) and Maat & Baig ( 1991 ). Preserved neural cells were also noted in mummified brain tissues by Hauswirth et al . ( 1991 ) and Doran et al . ( 1986 ). Exceptional circumstances of preservation were used to explain these rare observations (Briggs & Kear, 1993 ). In this study, dental calculus and endocranial putrefaction fluid were rehydrated for 12 hours in 0.4 M acetic acid solution at room temperature, smear stained with May‐Grunwald‐Giemsa and examined using light microscopy. Remnants of leucocytes, epithelial cells and other cells are presented and discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
