Archaeological Survey of Nubia Season 2 (1908-9)

Jenefer Metcalfe is Lecturer in Biomedical Egyptology and manager of the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at the University of Manchester. She teaches extensively on human osteology, the study of mummified remains and medical education. Jenefer’s research focusses on the study and reinterpretation of bioarchaeological collections from ancient Egypt and Nubia. She has published numerous papers focussing on the Archaeological Survey of Nubia and the work of Sir Grafton Eliot Smith.

In travelling to numerous museums and research institute archives, Metcalfe undertook significant legwork to access, find, verify, transcribe and understand the multifold pieces of data generated fromthe anatomical studies undertaken as part of the ASNsecond season, as well as adding updated details about research subsequently carried out on the human remains after their initial assessment. This effort of co-ordination, collection and concatenation, as manifest in this volume, is no small task and has resulted in a publication that will be of great use to bioarchaeological researchers with a focus on Egypt, Sudan and adjacent regions. In addition to these specifically targeted audiences, the generation of this volumewill be of use to researchers interested in the integration of archival data sources into archaeological discourses. – Robert J.
