(cf. H. Szymanska). The very poor state of preservation of this mummy, which had been plundered in antiquity, and the necessity to empty the sarcophagus prior to conservation, led to the decision to conduct the research described in the present volume. The result constitutes an important contribution to our knowledge of mummification methods in Ancient Egypt, as yet not fully understood, and of various factors associated with burials in the declining years of Egyptian civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe preservation of the human body after death was an essential precondition for prolonging that person's existence. According to Egyptian mythology, the first mummy was made by the goddess Isis, who assembled the dismembered limbs of her divine husband Osiris, after he had been quartered by his brother, Set. Every deceased person before being laid in the grave was identified with Osiris and subjected to complicated embalment operations, which were accompanied by specific religious rituals. Despite a great deal of information preserved in ancient sources regarding the methods of mummification, the process has never been recreated in a fully satisfactory form. Since the early 20th century,2 scholars have attempted to verify the information given by such classical authors as Herodotus (II. 86-88) in the fifth century B.C., or Diodorus Siculus (1.91-92) in the first century B.C. The fragments of two papyri from the first half of the first century (papyrus no. 3 from Bulak and papyrus no. 5158 from the Louvre), copies of originals from the New Kingdom, are a much more valuable source; but although they provide us with many valuable indications regarding the embalming process, they cover only its final stages. At present it is necessary to verify all this information using the research apparatus that is available to us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of modern research techniques, the application of specialized analyses from various ancillary disciplines, and finally the unwrapping of the mummy brought extraordinarily interesting results. With due regard for the complex ethical factors involved in research on human remains, we were fully aware of the necessity to bring the mummy to a state that would make it possible to return it safely to the sarcophagus, its place of final rest. The decision was made to wrap the mummy in ancient bandages, with some additional modern bandaging added (cf. K. Babraj).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Egyptological analysis of the sarcophagus and the cartonnage that lay directly on the mummy, as well as an extraordinarily painstaking interpretation of the highly unusual amulets found under the bandages, is presented by A. Niwinski in his article. During the autopsy a great deal of valuable information was obtained regarding the method of bandaging and the type of fabric used to wrap the mummy (cf. K. Tempczyk).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first test performed on the mummy was spiral computer tomography, thanks to which it was possible to identify the bone elements, the remains of soft tissues, and the arrangement of bandages, which proved to be essential during the later autopsy (cf. A. Urbanik).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe anthropological analysis of the mummified remains, which made it possible to specify the age and height of Aset-iri-khet-es at the moment of her death, as well as the pathological changes in the bones and teeth of the skeleton, constituted an extraordinarily important part of the project. These examinations also produced her lifetime appearance, obtained thanks to a computer program (cf. M. Kaczmarek).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhysical, chemical, serological and histopathological examinations were performed on samples taken from the mummified remains. The results indicate that pine resin (Pinuspinea, Pinuspinaster) was used to mummify the Egyptian priestess from Cracow, while no traces were found of the bitumin universally used in the Ptolemaic period (cf. M. Ktys et al., A chemical...).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSerological tests performed on a sample of muscle tissue taken from the mummy made it possible to confirm the presence of human protein, which is testimony to the effectiveness of the mummification process. It was also possible to identify the blood type of the priestess (cf. M. Ktys et al., A serological...).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA skin sample taken from the scalp of Aset-iri-khet-es was used to clone a fragment of the genetic code (DNA) (cf. A. Sutkowska). Attempts to isolate ancient human DNA were first undertaken in the early 1980s. The goal of this research is to explore the mechanisms underlying evolutionary changes taking place in our species.

Although OA lesions are common and easily observable in skeletal materials their interpretation presents some problems to anthropologists. This is due to still unclear etiology of the condition, inconsistent study results obtained for skeletal populations and observed discrepancies between these results and available medical data. The aim of this   study is to investigate the factors (such as age, sex, reconstructed body mass, body height, massiveness of skeleton and physical activity manifested in entheseal morphology) that could have an effect on the formation of degenerative joint lesions in past human populations. This is of great importance for the proper assessment of these pathological changes and for their correct interpretation in the context of biology and ecology of skeletal populations (in reconstruction of their lifestyle, biological condition and state of health).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akademicka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41678958867,"sku":"1246","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0222\/6404\/products\/osteoarthritis-in-past-human-populations_58406448-46c8-4238-8819-504c2e55a65c.jpg?v=1492108451"},{"product_id":"atlas-of-egyptian-mummies-in-the-czech-collections-i-complete-adult-human-mummies","title":"Atlas of Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Collections I, Complete Adult Human Mummies","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788070365144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardback, 183 pp. (28,5x21,5cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e new\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1020g.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePavel Onderka, Gabriela Jungova, Atlas of Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Collections I, Complete Adult Human Mummies, National Museum, Prague 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eLadislav Bares\u003cbr\u003eThe Present Project\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova, Pavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: History of Research on Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Lands\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova, Pavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: History of Collecting Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Lands\u003cbr\u003ePavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Mummification in Ancient Egypt\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Complete Adult Human Mummies\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova\u003cbr\u003eJiri Bucil, Lubica Oktabcova, Jakub Peceny, Pavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eZuzana Schierova, Jan Cvrcek, Julie Tomsova\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Summary of Radiological Examination of Adult Human Mummified Remains\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Complete Coffins for Adults\u003cbr\u003ePavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eSummary\u003cbr\u003eGabriela Jungova, Pavel Onderka\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEgyptian mummies and coffins in the Czech collections have been studied and described quite thoroughly in the past. An ambitious research project from the 1970s resulted in two key publications summarizing the contemporary knowledge of all mummies (Strouhal - Vyhnanek 1979) and coffins (Verner 1982) kept in the collections of the former Czechoslovakia. Three decades later, Eugen Strouhal, one of the most respected authorities in the field of (not only) mummy studies, initiated a new project that would revise the data from the previous research with the use of current technologies. This new project was commenced in 2009 by the National Museum- Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague, with the aim of collecting and publishing all accessible information on the studied material using up-to-date technologies and with regard to the advancement in the fields of Egyptology and anthropology. The research was carried out in cooperation with the Diagnostic Centre Medsican and other institutions that keep Egyptian mummies and coffins in their collections namely the State Castle Buchlov, State chateau Kynzvart and the Hrdlicka Museum of Man, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague.\u003cbr\u003eThe present publication is the first one from the series Atlas of Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Collections, and brings the results of investigation of complete adult human mummies. An overview of coffins for adults, whether associated with any of the mummies or not, is also included. The studied material comprises of 19 complete adult human mummies and 20 coffins. Even though the collections were not assembled systematically, they well document the development in mummification techniques and procedures, as well as all major characteristic styles of coffins in the second half of the pharaonic era. The set is not only representative in terms of chronology, but also in terms of geographical origin of mummies and coffins. All parts of Egypt, including lesser known sites, are represented.\u003cbr\u003eThanks to the advances in imaging technologies, only non-invasive methods of investigation could be used, without compromising on the quality or amount of obtained information. The research project brought new data that were previously unknown, as well as helped shed a new light on some issues that remained unresolved in the past. However, with some points of discussion being solved, others have opened. The study of the coffins enabled a more precise dating of the mummies. In the majority of cases it was possible to ascribe the coffins, and through them also mummies, to specific sites of ancienit Egypt, including Western Thebes, Akhmim, Gamhud or Mendes.","brand":"Narodni Muzeum Praha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41679043347,"sku":"1247","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0222\/6404\/products\/Atlas-of-Egyptian-Mummies-in-the-Czech-Collections-Complete-Adult-Human-Mummies.jpg?v=1492108920"},{"product_id":"sbornik-narodniho-muzea-v-praze-acta-musei-nationalis-pragae-j-cejka-ed-vol-xxxv-b-1979-no-1-4","title":"Egyptian Mummies in Czechoslovak Collections","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e softcover, 200pp. (24x17cm), figs., XXIV plates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 385g.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEgyptian Mummies in Czechoslovak Collections, Sbornik Narodniho Muzea v Praze, Acta Musei Nationalis Pragae, J.

The present volume, second in the series of Atlas of Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Collections, is dedicated to mummies and funerary containers of non-adults aged 15 and younger. Two complete mummies, twelve isolated parts from ten individuals, and six funerary containers were introduced in a detailed catalogue, along with their respective provenances, and brief excursions into the health and disease of ancient Egyptian children, and their funerary treatment. The studied material came from the collections of two divisions of the National Museum in Prague, namely the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, and the Natural History Museum. The mummies were examined using non-invasive methods, and the results were compared to those published in the past. Examination by non-invasive methods, especially computed tomography, brought to light several findings including one possible case of traumatic death, and one possible case of rickets.","brand":"Narodni Muzeum Praha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46729937224024,"sku":"3058","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0222\/6404\/files\/Atlas-of-Egyptian-Mummies-Non-Adult-Human-Mummies.jpg?v=1683794342"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.archeobooks.com\/collections\/bioarchaeology-physical-anthropology.oembed","provider":"Archeobooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
