The modern manifestation of mummy studies began to take shape in
the 1970s and has experienced significant growth during the last
several decades, largely due to biomedical interest in soft tissue
pathology. Although this points to a vibrant field, there are
indications that we need to take stock of where it is today and how
it may develop in the future, and this volume responds to those
demands. In many ways, mummy studies and skeletal bioarchaeology
are "sister-disciplines," sharing data sources, methodologies, and
practitioners. Given these close connections, this book considers
whether paradigmatic shifts that influenced the development of the
latter also impacted the former. Whilst there are many available
books discussing mummy research, most recent field-wide reviews
adopt a biomedical perspective to explore a particular mummy or
collection of mummies. The Bioarchaeology of Mummies is a unique
attempt at a synthetic, state-of-the-field critical analysis which
considers the field from an explicitly anthropological perspective.
This book is written for both skeletal bioarcheologists that may
not be familiar with the scope of mummy research, and mummy
researchers from biomedical fields that may not be as acquainted
with current research trends within bioarchaeology.
