Forensic Aspects of Ancient Egypt and Tut-ankh-amun

Tutankhamun receives flowers from Ankhesenamun. This image is on the lid of a box found in Tut's tomb.

Two study days at the University of London!

(1) The "much awaited" New TUTANKHAMUN Study Day at: UNIVERSITY of LONDON, on: Saturday 29 May 2010: 11am - 5pm. 

Scientists have now revealed their fascinating findings from a new detailed examination of the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamun.

Join Joyce Filer on this study day to debate and explore King Tut's (probably) cause of death, the Pharoah's medical conditions, his parentage (or which members of his family have been identified) and what sort of tests (DNA, CT-scan, ...) were used to examine Tutankhamun's body.

(2) The repeated by popular demand FORENSIC ASPECTS of ANCIENT EGYPT Study Day on: Saturday 19 June 2010: 11am - 5pm. 

A Study Day led by Joyce Filer  BA; Dip. Arch; M.Sc; M.Sc
formerly Curator of Human & Animal Remains, Dept of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, British Museum, London. 

The 21st century has seen incredible advances in our knowledge and use of forensic sciences -  to investigate crimes and find out about people from ancient times. 

How can we apply this information to the people of ancient Egypt? Ever wondered how archaeologists work out the age at death of a mummy or skeleton?  How do they know if the body is male or female?  What diseases did people have? How can we identify the men and women from ancient times?
