Abstract:
We present the results of a multidisciplinary study (the fi rst one in Russia) of nine Egyptian mummies owned by the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow), carried out at the Kurchatov Institute. A detailed description of the methods is provided. X-ray computed tomography is shown to be a highly informative non-destructive technique for studying the 3D structures of mummies. On the basis of the results, plus the conclusions of forensic experts, a detailed anthropological analysis was conducted. Mummifi cation techniques, sex, and age of all individuals were assessed. In three cases, the sex differed from that indicated in the museum inventory. Morphologically, all crania represent varieties of the Mediterranean type. One individual, however, has typically sub-Saharan features. Pathological changes concern mostly the spine and are both age-related and traumatic. In two individuals, spinal pathologies might have caused death.

Abstract:
Apothecia were produced in the orchard, lath house, and laboratory from peach and nectarine fruit infected and stromatized by Monilinia fructicola. Fully stromatized “mummies” and nonstromatized infected fruit were placed in the orchard either on the soil surface or buried to a depth of 2 to 3 cm. Mummies were placed in the orchard at monthly intervals from August to February in 1993-94 and 1994-95. Nonstromatized infected fruit, which were fleshy and decomposed rapidly, were soon unavailable and were only placed in the orchard in August and September. Apothecia developed in February and early March only from mummies that were placed in the orchard in either October, November, or December. Mummies placed in the field in August, September, January, and February did not produce apothecia. Leaving mummies on the soil surface versus burying them 2 to 3 cm did not affect the development of apothecia. Apothecia were never produced from nonstromatized or recently-infected (fleshy) fruit. In the laboratory, apothecia were only produced from mummies that were partially buried in moist sand and stored without light at 2°C and >97% relative humidity (RH) for more than 8 weeks prior to incubation for 2 weeks (12, 15, or 20°C) with a 12-h photoperiod. Mummies that were incubated at >97% RH for less than 8 weeks or incubated at <90% RH never produced apothe-cia when stored at 2°C and then transferred to warmer temperatures with light. In orchard experiments, apothecia were only observed in plots with nondisturbed orchard floor vegetation; whereas no apothecia were found in either herbicide-treated or rototilled plots. Apothecia in the San Joaquin Valley were only produced from mummies that were subject to an 8-week or greater cold-temperature incubation while in contact with soil.

Abstract:
The molecular analysis of ancient DNA represents a unique oppor tunity for the study of human evolution, population dynamics, and disease evolution in mummified human remains.The investigation of ancient pathogen DNA has led to the detection of a wide range of bacterial, protozoal and viral infections in ancient tissue samples. In the 1990s and 2000s, Arthur C. Aufderheide, together with his colleagues, significantly contributed to the development of this field with his groundbreaking work on the molecular identification of tuberculosis and Chagas disease in South American mummies. More recently, the introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and DNA capture techniques, has further improved the opportunity to study ancient human remains. One of the first mummies for which whole genome reconstruction was attempted successfully,is the 5,300-year-old TyroleanIceman. The sequencing revealed detailed infomation on his ancestry, his physical appearance, physiological parameters and the presence of pathogens and disease susceptibility.

Centrone, M. C. "Egyptian corn-mummies." Thesis, Swansea University, 2005. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.636218.

Full text
Abstract:
This research focuses on the study of Egyptian corn-mummies. The aim is to systematically record and analyse this class of objects in terms of form, decoration, representational theme, archaeological and cultural context, chronology and use. The present catalogue comprising 91 specimens (over 10 of which have not been previously studied) makes it possible to define the artefacts as mummiform objects, 35-50 cm long, made from a mixture of earth and grain, wrapped in resin-soaked linen bandages and often provided with Osirian wax mask and four small packages interpreted as the Sons of Horus. The mummies, identified as representation of Osiris, are commonly placed in decorated wooden falcon-headed coffins which are the main key for dating the objects to a period between the late Third Intermediate Period and the early Ptolemaic Period. Tehne, Meydum, El-Sheik Fadl, Tuna el-Gebel and Wady Qubbanet el-Qirud are the necropolises where the corn-mummies have been found. They have been chosen in view of the strong association of Orisis with the local cult. These data form the basis of the interpretation in the light of literary, pictorial and archaeological related evidence, associated religious beliefs and symbolic concepts. Corn-mummies illustrate the complex relationship between grain, embodying the idea of renewal as living substance whose life and death follows a cyclic pattern, and the notion of rejuvenation through the figure of Osiris. The sprouting of the grain represents a striking manifestation of the forces of rebirth and growth under the control of Osiris, the imperishable principle of life. It follows that the process of assembling grain and earth in the shape of Osiris ought to be considered not as a mere process of manufacturing grain packages but as a ritual involving the preservation of the cosmic cycle of death and rebirth, the maintenance of the Creative Order.

Full text
Abstract:
The present thesis aims to expand and acquire new knowledge on the emergence of portrait mummies during the Roman period in Egypt and their socio-religious status. The emergence and decorative program of these mummies are commonly understood as an artistic expression of Hellenistic Greek and Roman settlers in Egypt. This attestation is often based upon uncontextualized isolated portraits. The study of uncontextualized isolated portraits has also caused an unsatisfactory approach to dating criteria. In response, the present thesis aims to study contextualized portrait mummies – with the image of the deceased still forming part of the mummy and ideally with an attested find spot – in light of a multicultural society consisting of Egyptian, Hellenistic and Roman cultural and religious traditions.  A total of 85 portrait mummies have been collected to provide context for the expressed cultural traditions. Seven group burials have been reconstructed based upon excavation reports for further contextualization. The results of the collected portrait mummies and reconstructed group burials are subsequently studied against a background of Egyptian, Hellenistic and Roman cultural and religious traditions to highlight dominant cultural features. The results of the present thesis illustrate portrait mummies were an expression of a culturally complex society. The treatment of the body and decorative program suggests cultural and religious notions were rooted within Egyptian traditions that were appropriated, re-defined and adapted by a society comprised of Egyptians, Hellenes and Romans. Portrait mummies consequently express multiple cultural layers. Previously established dating criteria were found to remain to be the most valid and reliable. Contextualized portrait mummies, however, have put forward a new dating criterion that ought to be taken into consideration: octagonal framing.

Abstract:
The Egyptian mummy poses something of a conundrum to researchers in museum studies. The mummy is familiar, and yet the history of its insertion into European culture and scientific Egyptology remains largely unmapped. In recent decades, human remains have entered conversations regarding their retention and display in museums. The Egyptian mummy had been largely ignored until, recently, several museums removed some specimens from display. The question remains: how can museums negotiate the Egyptian mummy, both object and human remains? This thesis examines the cultures of participation with Egyptian mummies in London and Paris between 1753 and 1858, with a view to understanding who collected and studied these objects, and what they meant to them. This research produces a cultural history which grounds stories of encounters and engagements with Egyptian mummies within their contemporary intellectual and cultural contexts. It contends that a cultural history of the Egyptian mummy is an ethical lens to look at the mummy as a category of object that poses a set of questions. This thesis argues that the Egyptian mummy was a multi-faceted object, embedded in cultural and intellectual debates, on collecting, the body, and race. This thesis re-evaluates physical interventions on mummies (including dissections and unrollings) and argues that these practices must be considered within their wider contexts. This thesis contributes a new lens to look at the Egyptian mummy in contexts, and in doing so, offers a new interpretation of the mummy as a cultural object. This historical research allows further reflection on the presence of human remains in museums, and contends that museums can only assess the value, responsibility, and ethics of their Egyptian human remains collections through an in-depth study of the history of modern engagements with the Egyptian mummy – as both object and human remains.

Abstract:
One of the unsolved problems of modern science is whether the pre-Columbian peoples of the New World developed completely independently of cultural influences from the Old World or if there was a trans-oceanic contact? A number of scientists agree that there are many – and often remarkable – similarities between the cultures of pre-Columbian America and those of the Mediterranean world. Nevertheless, there is no agreement, as yet, on how cultural diffusion can be differentiated from independent invention. Scientific analysis shows that scholarly positions are often strongly pre-formed from paradigms (scientific based assumptions), which tend to hinder consideration of solid scientific data offered by geo-biology and its trans-disciplinary examination of the subject under investigation here. An unambiguous answer to the question, what historical processes led to the emergence of the ancient American agriculture, hasn\'t been given. However, the archaeological discovery of crops with clear trans-oceanic origin, in addition to advances in molecular biology, increasingly support the hypothesis that humans from the distant past influenced each other across the oceans at a much earlier stage. The vegetation and zoo-geography indicate, by numerous examples that some species could only have spread through perhaps unintentional (passive) human transmission [1]. There are two very old crops found in the „New World‟, which contradict the paradigm of a completely independent origin for American agriculture. These are the African Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria L.) and the ancestral cotton species (Gossypium herbaceum L.) of the domesticated spin able sub-genus of tetraploid cotton. The historical spread of both types has been under discussion for decades, especially in respect of trans-oceanic human contact with the American continent. There has also been a debate in the \"Old World\" ever since the discovery of nicotine and cocaine in Egyptian mummies, centering around whether \"New World\" plants (or the ingredients) might have been transmitted in the reverse direction, back to the presumed start in centers of the Ancient World\'s oldest civilizations.

Abstract:
In 1993, workers discovered a mummified human head during exploitation in the salt mine of Chehrābād, Province of Zanjān, Iran (Vatandoust 1998). This find marks the beginning of more than 20 years of international and interdisciplinary research. The mummified head dates to Sassanian times and is known to the world today as “Salt Man 1”. The salt extraction in Chehrābād continued until 2009 and led to the discovery of further mummified human remains, which were, in accordance to the first find, named “Salt Men of Zanjān”. These salt mummies as well as the site are a unique cultural heritage for humankind. In 2004, archaeologists made an exceptional discovery during a rescue excavation. This find, the mummy of a 15 to 16-year-old youth, is – to date – the best-preserved salt mummy known worldwide (Aali 2005). In 2007 an international research project started, co-headed by the German Mining Museum Bochum and the Zanjān Saltman and Archaeological Museum. All these efforts led to the halt of the commercial exploitation of the salt mine in 2009. Subsequently, the salt mine was declared a cultural heritage site (Aali et al. 2012). In multiple excavation campaigns not only the salt mine itself, but also its surrounding area were studied thoroughly. The results of these joint efforts were published in two monographs (Aali, Stöllner 2015; Stöllner, Aali, Bagherpour Kashani 2020) and various further articles (e.g. Aali et al. 2012;Öhrström et al. 2016; Pollard et al. 2008; Ramaroli et al. 2010; Vahdati Nasab et al. 2019)
