The identification of the Eighteenth Dynasty royal mummies; a biological perspective
An X-Ray Atlas of the Royal Mummies
X-Raying the Pharaohs
A simple project, the right men, time and the funds could hardly fail to result success, you would think. dentition of ancient Nubians, its relation to diet and health, and such genetic links as the teeth can afford, have lain the Nile Valley for generations and had already had some attention from Elliott Smith, the English anatomist. He did, fact, X-ray the mummified body of Thutmosis IV, but this isolated study required expansion, and 1966 the …
A commentary on the growth of the human brain and skull
This paper tests the suggestion put forth by Tanner ('55) and Eichorn and Bayley ('62) to the effect that the brain participates in the parapubertal spurt of growth which characterizes many of the dimensions of the human body. To this end, longitudinal data consisting of oriented head roentgenograms of 11 boys were examined. Two measurements were taken directly from each lateral head film: (1) skull length, measured from glabella to opisthocranio…
A field method for the cephalometric x‐ray study of skulls in early Nubian cemeteries
The cephalometer, a clinical and research instrument employed by the orthodontic profession to record standardized x‐rays of the human skull, has been modified for research work in remote areas where the usual laboratory facilities are not available. This cephalometer was specifically designed to record cephalograms (head radiographs) on the living Nubian population and their extensive skeletal record. The cephalometer consists of a light, portab…
