Human skeletal remains
Original language description
The funerary monument of a high Memphite official was discovered by a joint expedition of the Leiden museum of Antiquities and Leiden University in 2001. The tomb studied here belonged to an 18th Dynasty high priest at the temple of Aten in Memphis namedMeryneith and his wife. Substantial skeletal remains from burials were discovered in the underground shafts and mummy chambers of Meryneth´s tomb. Skeletal remains found were incomplete; there were rather isolated bones. Moreover, the medical-anthropological analysis has established the existence of frequent joins between fragments from various areas, so that the skeletal remains found could only be studied and evaluated as ?charnel-house material?. Anthropological processing of skeletal material consists of the paleodemographic part, the actual anthropological processing with metrical and morphological analysis, and the paleopathological part.
