Anthropologischer Anzeiger 70/1, pp. 27-41
Mummies and skeletons from the Coptic monastery complex Deir el-Bachit in Thebes-West, EgyptDeir el-Bachit is the largest known Coptic monastery complex in Thebes-West. It dates to the Late Antiquity period between the 6th and the beginning of the 10th century AD. So far, at least 26 individuals from the site were analysed anthropologically. 22 of them were excavated directly at the necropolis, the other 4 are special burials that were found at other locations nearby. Most individuals from the necropolis are male adults. There are two categories of human remains: “mummified” and “skeletonised”. The differences are probably due to social stratification. A substance similar to bitumen was found at the mummies. At that time, resin containing oils and bitumen were normally not used any more. One of the special burials was an approximately three years old child which was found enclosed within a wall. Another special burial was a juvenile or young adult female who was found in the vault of an abandoned granary. The female was most likely pregnant and fell victim to a violent crime. This is indicated by the bones of a six months old foetus and an intravital skull fracture. She was no contemporary from the time the monastery was cultivated but was later deposited in this area.

"Mummies outside their closets". Paleoradiological investigation of Egyptian mummified remains2020 •
Paleoradiological investigations of three mummified remains housed in the archaeological museum of Erba allowed us to investigate the origin, biological profile, embalming techniques and pathological conditions of finds unknown until now. These mummified remains, belonging to the private collection of the Majnoni family, were donated to the museum without any information about their origin. We are well aware of the past issue on the commercialization of mummified remains and of the low possibility for anthropologists to have access to ancient mummies. For this reason our intent is to stimulate curators of small collections to contact team of anthropologists, radiologists and paleopathologists to grant the study of finds housed in museums with the aim of obtaining more information about the anthropological cultural heritage.

The ancient Egyptians are unique in mummifying animals as well as people. Although ways of preparing the mummies is rooted in practical methods of food preservation, animal mummies are expressions of ritual behavior. They are of four types: victual mummies, (funerary food offerings for humans); beloved pets buried with their owners; sacred animals; votive offerings. In the early days of archaeology many samples from all these categories were regarded as mere curiosities, and often ignored or even thrown away after excavation (some were used as fuel, fertilizer, and even ship’s ballast). Gradually their importance in elucidating the environmental as well as religious and cultural history of Egypt was recognised, and examples were collected and kept in museums. This paper will present some of the results of the Animal Mummy Project (AMP) of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. The AMP has studied the mummies through non-destructive techniques: X-rays and visual examination. Results have shed light on the role of pets, diet, veterinary practice in ancient Egypt, the changing species found in Egypt, as well as information concerning changes in mummification techniques over time.

Title: A medley of mummies from Deir el-Bahari2018 •
The results of radiographic and visual examinations of four mummies originating from Deir el-Bahari, now kept in different museums throughout Egypt, are presented here. One individual dates to the Twenty-second Dynasty, and the remaining three date to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty, and were possibly related. Some of the mummies possessed amulets, with one individual having unusual accouterments in addition to the amulets.

The aim of the paper is to give a comprehensive overview of the ancienit Egyptian adult mummies and their respective coffins (when preserved) in the collections of the Naprstek Museum, Prague. Collecting ancient Egyptian antiquities in general, and mummies in particular, has a long history in the Czech lands. The history of scientific interest in the topic reaches back to the mid-19th century. In the 1970s the first multidisciplinary research under the direction of Eugen Strouhal was carried out. Since 2009, a team of specialists from the Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures and the Diagnostic Centre Mediscan has carried out the second interdisciplinary research project on Egyptian mummies primarily kept in the collections of the National Museum – Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, where there are 10 mummified human bodies of adult individuals. The present paper precedes a planned monograph on the given topic.
