MUMAB: A Conversation With the Past

Andrew D. Wade, Ronald G. Beckett, Gerald J. Conlogue, Ramon Gonzalez, more

The Anatomical Record > 298 > 6 > 954 - 973

In May of 1994, Drs. Bob Brier and Ronn Wade produced the first modern mummy embalmed in the ancient Egyptian tradition. MUMAB (Mummy, University of Maryland At Baltimore) has been studied over the intervening 18 years as part of the Mummy Replication Project, including high‐resolution computed tomography scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and histological examination. The radiological study of...

Evisceration and excerebration in the Egyptian mummification tradition

Andrew D. Wade, Andrew J. Nelson

Journal of Archaeological Science > 2013 > 40 > 12 > 4198-4206

The purpose of this study is to examine the correspondence of primary radiographic data in the IMPACT Radiological Mummy Database to the classical hypotheses tested in, and new hypotheses raised by, two previous synthetic studies of excerebration (Wade et al., 2011) and evisceration (Wade and Nelson, 2013) in Egyptian mummification. The evolution of excerebration and evisceration features are examined...

Forensic Considerations for Preprocessing Effects on Clinical MDCT Scans

Andrew D. Wade, Gerald J. Conlogue

Journal of Forensic Sciences > 58 > 3 > 797 - 803

Manipulation of digital photographs destined for medico‐legal inquiry must be thoroughly documented and presented with explanation of any manipulations. Unlike digital photography, computed tomography (CT) data must pass through an additional step before viewing. Reconstruction of raw data involves reconstruction algorithms to preprocess the raw information into display data. Preprocessing of raw...

Early dental intervention in the Redpath Ptolemaic Theban Male

Andrew D. Wade, Jaana Hurnanen, Barbara Lawson, Donatella Tampieri, more

International Journal of Paleopathology > 2012 > 2 > 4 > 217-222

A computed tomography study of the remains of a Ptolemaic male mummy from Thebes (RM2718; 350–60 BCE), one of three ancient Egyptian human mummies curated at McGill University's Redpath Museum, demonstrates the packing of a large interproximal carious lesion with a protective linen barrier. The dental packing described here is unique among ancient Egyptian mummies studied to date, and represents one...

Foodstuff placement in ibis mummies and the role of viscera in embalming

Andrew D. Wade, Salima Ikram, Gerald Conlogue, Ronald Beckett, more

Journal of Archaeological Science > 2012 > 39 > 5 > 1642-1647

Recent excavation of a mummified ibis, in whose bill were found numerous snails, and the 2010 radiological study of ibis mummies from Yale's Peabody Museum drew attention to the presence of bird foodstuffs intentionally placed inside mummified ibises following evisceration. The foodstuff packing in the Peabody's ibises was likely contained within the birds' own viscera. Radiographs of a hatchling...

A synthetic radiological study of brain treatment in ancient Egyptian mummies

Andrew D. Wade, Andrew J. Nelson, Greg J. Garvin

HOMO - Journal of Comparative Human Biology > 2011 > 62 > 4 > 248-269

Variability in brain treatment, as a part of the Egyptian mummification process, is poorly appreciated in the literature, as variability in the details of excerebration have not been addressed comprehensively nor with respect to social, geographic, and temporal variation. The description of Egyptian mummification commonly used in the popular and academic literature is derived largely from accounts...
