To look upon a mummy is to come face to face with our past. This book presents the story of mummification as a practice worldwide. Mummies have been found on every continent, some deliberately preserved as with the ancient Egyptians using a variety of complex techniques, others accidentally by dry baking heat, intense cold and ice, or by tanning in peat bogs. By examining these preserved humans, we can get profound insights into the lives, health, culture and deaths of individuals and populations long gone. The first edition of this book was acclaimed as a classic. This readable new edition builds on these foundations, investigating the fantastic new findings in South America, Europe and the Far East. It will be a 'must-have' volume for anyone working in paleopathology and a fascinating read for all those interested in anthropology, archaeology, and the history of medicine.

En France, les périodes moderne et contemporaine sont en marge des problématiques bioarchéologiques et les référentiels ostéologiques restent peu nombreux. Dans la région PACA, les fouilles récentes de deux vastes ensembles funéraires à La Ciotat (1581-1831) et à Marseille (1784-1905), offrent l'opportunité d'analyser l'état sanitaire de la population provençale à une époque charnière, au seuil des sociétés industrialisées actuelles. Par une approche comparative et paléoépidémiologique portée sur un large corpus, cette étude cherche à renseigner les effets des mutations socio-économiques sur l'état sanitaire, entre la fin du XVIe et le début du XXe siècle. L'examen des pathologies dentaires, des marqueurs de stress et maladies métaboliques insistent sur la continuité de ses caractéristiques biologiques entre Ancien Régime et révolution industrielle. Les différences perçues sont bien plus subtiles que présupposées et certainement liées aux changements alimentaires qui accompagnent la révolution industrielle et un environnement sanitaire et infectieux délétère, imputable à la croissance démographique et l'urbanisation galopante du XIXe siècle. This study explores the post-medieval health status of French populations. By analysing the dental pathologies, stress markers and metabolic diseases, the author challenges previous notions of changes in health during the Industrial Revolution.
