A forgotten Egyptian mummy head in Vilnius
This article presents the first multidisciplinary investigation of a mummified Egyptian head curated at the National Museum of Lithuania in Vilnius, Northern Europe. The specimen, long neglected and stored among other Egyptian antiquities, was examined in 2025 within the framework of the Lithuanian Mummy Project—an initiative aimed at studying mummified remains preserved in the country. Through a combination of macroscopic inspection, computed to…
A bioarchaeological approach for the examination of two Lithuanian clergymen
In the summer of 2019, members of the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University were summoned by the diocese of Telšiai to carry out an investigation of the mortal remains of Juozapas Arnulfas Giedraitis and Simonas Mykolas Giedraitis, two high religious dignitaries entombed in the crypt of the parish of St Peter and St Paul, Apostles, at Varniai (Samogitia, Lithuania).

Evidence of probable tuberculosis in Lithuanian mummies

METHODS: Within the framework of the Lithuanian Mummy Project, whole-body compute…

Observed pathological conditions include a single fracture, osteoarthritis, malpositions and dental disease, as well as some normal variants of the human skeleton. These palaeopathological data provide a clearer picture of the mummies’ osteobiographies, and serve as a reminder about the importance of …
