Severe gout and its treatment in an early 18th century Southern German monk
Following the restoration of the crypt of the Attel monastery in Southern Germany, the human remains of 16 out of 40 monks were exhumed and underwent anthropological and palaeopathological investigations. These skeletal remains were of individuals who lived between 1700 and 1750 CE. In some cases, thanks to the documentary sources, it was possible to identify individual monks and partially reconstruct their biographies and lifestyles. This situat…
The discovery of the Salafia handwritten manuscript and formula. Chronological and biological considerations
Alfredo Salafia (1869-1933) was a famous embalmer from Palermo, Sicily. He created an embalming fluid, the «Perfection fluid», which was supposed to leave the corpse perfectly preserved in a «fresh state». Within the remit of the Human Embalming Project© (H.E.P.), we performed referenced historical research on Salafia’s American period. We further identified what appears to be an anomaly in the chronology of the discovery of the Sicilian embalmer…

The Bioarchaeological Value of Human Mummies Without Provenience
Thirteen spontaneously (naturally) mummified human bodies with little or no available provenience data were examined by inspection, dissection and tissue chemical analysis. The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that useful anthropological/ archaeological and biomedical information could be derived from bodies even when no reliable provenience for recovered mummies is known. Results of studies on these 13 bodies enabled recognition o…
Long‐term survival of ancient DNA in Egypt
Molecular identification of human tuberculosis in recent and historic bone tissue samples
We describe the molecular identification of the M. tuberculosis complex DNA in bone tissue samples from recent and historic populations. In a first set, archival paraffin material from vertebral bodies of 12 recent cases with clinically/microbiologically proven tuberculosis was compared to 12 further cases without tuberculosis. While eight TB cases revealed a specific mycobacterial amplification product, none of the controls was positive. Interes…
Molecular analyses of the “Pharaos
In a recent paper, Marota et al. (2002) described a study on plant chloroplast DNA in modern and ancient papyri specimens in order to evaluate the half-life of ancient DNA (aDNA) in papyri. In parallel, they investigated the racemization of aspartatic acid in those samples, as the extent of racemization is linked to DNA decay (Poinar et al., 1996). The results were compared to the findings in animal and human remains from ancient Egypt in the lit…
Molecular evidence for different stages of tuberculosis in ancient bone samples from Hungary
This paleomicrobiologic study was conducted on osseous tissue specimens from ancient Hungarian skeletal samples from the 7-8th and the 17th centuries AD with typical macromorphologic evidence of osseous tuberculosis (n = 3), morphologic alterations probably due to tuberculosis (n = 6), or with nontypical osseous changes of vertebral bodies suggestive of inflammatory reaction (n = 5). From these bone samples, DNA was extracted and amplified by pol…
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…
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…
