Using modern day imaging to reveal secrets hidden within mummy cartonnage

0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Rich with clues into human history, Egyptian mummies have intrigued researchers for centuries. But it isn’t just the preserved bodies that contain valuable information: many mummies were covered with an outer casing called cartonnage, which included layers of recycled papyrus containing text from ancient writings. Although a rich source of information, accessing the textual content of these recycled materials without destroying the attendant mummies has been challenging. Now, powered by a grant from the Arcadia Fund, an international team of investigators has compared the abilities of different modern-day imaging methods to reveal this text, which may offer a new, non-destructive way for researchers to peer into the past. The team selected eight imaging techniques expected to give contrast to hidden organic and inorganic pigments buried within layers of papyrus. For testing, they created four so-called phantoms..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
