Suitability of Immunohistochemistry for the Determination of Collagen Stability in Historic Bone Tissue
Possible Evidence for Homicide in an Egyptian Mummy Head
In the present paper we describe the macroscopic, radiological and histological findings for the head of an adult male Egyptian mummy, who presented with a round to oval defect of the left occipitotemporal bone covered by an almost intact layer of soft tissue and skin. The osseous defect showed infundibular widening into the cranial cavity, such as is seen in cases of depressed fracture due to a massive external force applied by a rather blunt we…
Initial Stages of Bone Decomposition
Immunohistochemical detection of interstitial collagens in bone and cartilage tissue remnants in an infant Peruvian mummy
We investigated the immunohistochemical presence of various collagen types in bone and cartilage tissue from an infant Peruvian mummy dating between 500 and 1000 A. D. which had been excavated at the necropolis of Las Trancas in the Nazca region in Peru. Following careful rehydration and decalcification of the tissue, the mummy tissue showed morphologically good preservation of the matrix, which could be shown to be composed of various collagen t…
Osteopathological findings in mummified baboons from ancient Egypt
We present the pathological findings in a historic population of 82 baboon mummies recovered from the animal sanctuary of Tuna-el-Gebel in Egypt, in which we were able to demonstrate a high prevalence of disease. In almost 20 per cent of the baboons, signs were present of chronic malnutrition causing bowing and shortening of the long bones. A further 15 per cent of the animals revealed features of chronic joint or vertebral deformities suggesting…
Puzzling findings on anthropological material from Egypt. Addenda to the "Histories" by Herodot, Lib. II, 86-88 and to the Egyptian "Sparagmos"
The authors report on recently excavated mummified human remains from Buto and Minshat Abu Omar in the Nile Delta (Lower Egypt). There is evidence that besides the conventional mummification techniques described for example by Herodotus rather invasive methods have been applied, i.e. maceration and dissection of the soft tissue, partly followed by modelling the skeleton with a thin layer of mud. This practise remembers of certain mutilated anthro…
Instruments for transnasal brain removal during embalming by the ancient Egyptians
From the Mook—Collection in Munich 81 skulls and 7 complete heads of mummies found around Thebes and Abydos and dating from 1500–1000 BC were examined by fiberendoscope and operation microscope. Especially the nasal cavities and the ethmoidal perforations were studied through which the ancient moidal perforations were studied through which the ancient Egyptian embalmers removed the brain in the process of mummification. In many skulls these ethmo…
Results of computer-aided investigations on adults from the late Roman graveyard in Minshat Abu Omar (eastern Nile Delta) regarding population structure and burial rites
The results of 1448 skeletons met the requirements (database) for the completed examinations. Statistical correlations between situation of the skeletons in view of compass directions, position of the skeletons, grave type and mumification traces were calculated. More than 90% of the analyzed individuals were buried in west-east direction (head-feet). In 69% of all cases the skeletons were buried with their hands on or next to the pelvis. 98% of …
Paleodemographic and cultural-historical investigations on skeletons from the pre- and early-dynastic necropole near by Minshat Abu Omar (eastern Nile Delta)
The pre- and early dynastic necropole near by Minshat Abu Omar can be dated (Carbon dates) in the time from 3300 till 2900 B.C. Till now, there were 418 graves investigated. The dead people were buried in left or right flexed position. High salt concentration in sand destroyed the bone material extraordinary, so that morphometric analysis could not be done. The determination of sex and/or age was possible for 87.08% of the individuums. The averag…
Innovations in computed tomography (CT)
The application of computed tomography (CT) has been proved to be useful not only in present-day medicine, but also in non-clinical disciplines, as it is mummy research and physical anthropology. Concerning these fields CT-high-tech-innovations as three-dimensional surface reconstruction, dual energy/bone mineral-density--and metal artefact correction-programs are introduced and partly exemplified by investigation of human remains from ancient Eg…
Tissue identification and histologic study of six lung specimens from Egyptian mummies
Twenty‐eight specimens obtained either from organ bundles in the body cavities of intact mummies, from damaged mummies, or from isolated canopic jars were examined for tissue identification and histopathologic study. The methods of rehydration and fixation were optimized by application to 40 dehydrated modern samples before studies of mummified tissue were undertaken. The tissue of origin could be definitely identified in 24 of the 28 specimens. …
