From the Meadow to the Em-baa-lming Table: Experimental Archaeology and Mummification.

Salima Ikram (American University in Cairo)

This lecture (and limited demonstration) will provide a brief, general introduction to the ideas behind Experimental Archaeology and its application to Egyptology. This will be illustrated by a group of experimental mummifications of animals carried out recently at the American University in Cairo, as well as a modest demonstration on choice cuts of meat from a local butcher.

Please note: Some of the images in this presentation are graphic.
