✦ Synopsis

The remains of two Egyptian mummies from the New Kingdom site of Qurnah were investigated using computer tomography. Two scout views and two CT slices were studied for each specimen. General descriptions of the specimens were drawn from these images. Standard anthropometric measurements were taken from the CT scans and compared with a sample data set describing skeletal material from the same site. One specimen was found to be typical of males from this population, and the other was tentatively described as female. We conclude that minimal CT scanning may be useful for the study of mummies, and may provide craniometric data not otherwise available.
