Healthmaking in the past
Gender disparities and barriers to access and use of essential health services in Ethiopia
Despite remarkable gains in maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes globally, the lack of access to and use of essential health services remains a challenge in low-income countries, like Ethiopia. To address health service access and use, the Ethiopian government has endorsed a fifteen-year “Optimizing Ethiopian Health Extension Program” strategy. This study explored gender barriers to access to and use of MCH services in the primary health care…

A comparative analysis of DStretch© and alternative image enhancement techniques for identifying tattoos in archaeological contexts
Improving the Usability of Archaeological Data through Written Guidelines
Archaeologists frequently use written guidelines such as site manuals, recording forms, and digital prompts during excavations to create usable data within and across projects. Most written guidelines emphasize creating either standardized datasets or narrative summaries; however, previous research has demonstrated that the resulting datasets are often difficult to (re)use. Our study analyzed observations and interviews conducted with four archae…
Deir el-Médina (2022)
Ce rapport présente les travaux réalisés en 2022 sur le site de Deir el-Médina par la mission archéologique de l’Ifao, en partenariat avec plusieurs institutions européennes, américaines et égyptiennes. Le Comité permanent du MoTA a approuvé le plan d’actions proposé, à savoir l’étude et la restauration de plusieurs monuments, dont la chapelle d’Amennakhte, les tombes TT 8 de Khâ, TT 216 de Neferhotep, TT 217 d’Ipouy, TT 265 d’Amenemipet et le te…
Dental health and dentistry in ancient Egypt
Of Ink and Clay
This article offers the first publication of the mummified remains of two tattooed women in conjunction with three unpublished figurines with tattoo motifs from Deir el-Medina. Several recurrent motifs are shared between these women and the figurines, including the use of Bes-images, Nilotic elements, and points at the neck. These themes also appear in previously published tattooed figurines, so-called cosmetic spoons, and paintings. In some case…
Identifying red ink tattoos using DStretch(R)
Beyond the Archive
This article presents research on archaeological data creation and management practices at two excavations in Europe in order to gain a better understanding of how to align these practices with the data reuse needs of a broader research community. The Secret Life of Data project follows the life cycle of data from the field to the digital repository to better understand opportunities and challenges in data interpretation, publication, and preserv…
Embodying the Divine
During the 2014 Ifao mission at Deir el-Medina, we identified the torso of a female mummy that was heavily tattooed along the arms, shoulders, neck, and back. This article presents this tattooed mummy by first contextualizing the discovery within broader research on tattooing in ancient Egypt. We then describe the nature of this mummy and her tattoos through a detailed discussion of their placement and symbolism. Finally, we discuss the potential…
The Cost of a Commute
This article evaluates rates of osteoarthritis of the lower limb in human remains from Deir el-Medina in order to compare the health of the residents of Deir el-Medina with previous studies on other ancient Egyptian and Nubian populations. This study focuses on osteological observations from the commingled New Kingdom human remains documented during the 2012-2014 field seasons of the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale. This is the first pu…
Accounting for Sick Days
Mobilizing Archaeologists
Data collection takes up much of the already limited time archaeologists have to excavate and often requires additional time to digitize. Moreover, despite efforts to standardize data, archaeologists often find errors such as blank or incorrectly recorded fields. To avoid these issues, several projects have made use of tablet computers to streamline and digitize data, but this process can be opaque, specialized, and expensive. Previous research h…
