Forensic Aspects of Ancient Egypt

The 21st century has seen incredible advances in our knowledge and use of forensic sciences - to investigate crimes and to find out about people from ancient times. How can we apply this information to the people of ancient Egypt?

Forensic Aspects of Ancient Egypt is a study day presented by Joyce Filer at the University of London.

Subjects include:

• idenitfying the age at death of a mummy or skeleton
• if the body is male or female
• what diseases people had
• facial reconstruction
• other scientific techniques

You also get to test your skills in a hands-on practical session.
