The Scientific Study of Mummies (Paperback)

The fact that bodies decay after death has concerned humans
throughout the ages. Many cultures have attempted to arrest this
decay, so that bodies are preserved (or mummified) in a state as
near to life as possible, but spontaneously mummified bodies are
also found. Mummies are being studied increasingly to answer
questions about the health, social standing and beliefs of the
population from whence they came, and the lessons that they have
for modern populations. Originally published in 2003, this
authoritative reference work explores why people mummify bodies and
the mechanisms by which they are preserved, details study methods
and surveys the myriad examples that can be found worldwide,
evaluates the use and abuse of mummified bodies throughout the
ages, and how mummified remains can be conserved for the future.
Lavishly illustrated, The Scientific Study of Mummies will be of
value to all those interested in paleopathology, archaeology and
anthropology.
