16 papers explore the subject of palaeopathology in Egypt and Nubia from its beginnings in the early 1900s through to current research themes and the impact of technological development in the field.
This updated and expanded annotated bibliography presents and describes over 1,200 books, dissertations, excavation reports, and articles relevant to the paleopathology of the ancient Egyptians from the fields of Egyptology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and medicine, making it possible for scholars in these different fields to keep current with the latest finds and results. Each source has a short annotation explaining its relevant pathological information, so that scholars can ascertain whether or not any particular source is germane to their own research, and see what is being studied and published by others. In particular, this bibliography will be an immense help to scholars outside the field of Egyptology who want to know about the newest excavations with human remains. It will be indispensable to scholars as well as non-specialists who are intrigued by this area of study, particularly forensic pathologists, medical researchers, historians of medicine, and mummy enthusiasts.
This publication attempts to convey the huge potential of bio-anthropology in the study of ancient civilizations. It is based on the papers presented at an international colloquium in 1990 by over 20 experts in the field.
Excerpt from Studies in the Palaeopathology of Egypt Sir Marc Armand Ruffer, whose Studies in Palaeo pathology con stitute this volume, had intended to retire from active duty in 1919 and devote his attention to 'the preparation of a work dealing with his antiquarian studies of ancient Egypt. The present collection of papers issued under the direction of his wife, Lady Ruffer, is intended to replace that proposed undertaking. While the details of his plan are uncertain, since he left no notes on the project, it has been deemed best to select only those studies which deal with the evidences of disease in ancient Egypt. These by no means represent his life's work, but are rather the result of one of his keenest interests during the twenty years of his residence in Egypt.
