Mummies and Paleopathology

Afdeling for Retspatologi

Abstract

Mummies are human remains with preservation of nonbony tissue, and the study of mummies has made important contributions to paleopathology. Mummy studies allow us to analyse pathologies otherwise not seen in dry bones, and thus complement osteological observations. Recent studies have, for example, added to the history of cardiovascular diseases and general health and living conditions. A scientist mostly working with dry bones needs to remember that those bones once were covered with soft tissues, and that pathologies seen in the bones must also have affected various soft tissues.
