A Preliminary Analysis of Human Remains from Tomb MMA 514 in North Asasif, Egypt]
View through CrossRef
Since 2013 the Asasif Project has conducted excavations of several tombs in the North Asasif Necropolis, adjacent to the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari in southern Egypt. Under the direction of Patryk Chudzik, this work has yielded large numbers of human remains. This article describes the results of a preliminary inventory of the human remains from one of these funerary complexes, originally discovered by H.E. Winlock in the early 20th century. Tomb MMA 514 was reused at least twice, and although the human remains are in various stages of preservation and are highly fragmented, it is possible to identify at least nine separate individuals.
