Abstract
- The article focuses on the discovery of mummies in Britain dating back to the Bronze Age. It states that researchers examined ancient mummies from an individual who'd died in Yemen and a body found in an Irish peat bog as an initial test to determine of skeletal remains can be used to identify mummification. It reports that the near or total absence of bacterial damage on the bones of mummified individuals allowed researchers to identify signs of mummification on 16 Bronze Age British skeletons.
