Title A name given to the resource AEABB793 Museum ID No. 1825.12 Description An account of the resource EXTERNAL APPEARANCE Ceramic pot with partial bird mummy trapped inside. Remainder of mummy is in a bag. RADIOGRAPHIC REPORT Ceramic jar in excellent, complete condition. Contents visible at lower end and presented with a tray of loose material which had come from the pot. Radiography showed that the pot contained granular inclusions as was expected from the visual appearance. These are likely to be natural inclusions in the clay and appear as radiodense anomalies in the ceramic material. The images showed the presence of the contents firmly affixed to the pot. X-ray and CT both highlighted the presence of bone fragments, thought to be from a bird as is consistent with the pot burial. No diagnostic skeletal elements could be isolated from the images, so identification beyond ‘avian’ is not possible in this case.

Title A name given to the resource AEABB794 Museum ID No. 1847.85.1 Description An account of the resource EXTERNAL APPEARANCE Cat mummy in a wooden coffin. Coffin is crude. Mummy is wrapped in striped bandages. RADIOGRAPHIC REPORT At first glance this mummy bundle, presented lying within a crude wooden coffin trough, appears to contain a complete feline skeleton. However, on closer inspection, the skull and torso appear to be joined, not by the cervical spine, but by a wooden implement which is imbedded deep within the wrappings and must have been intentionally used to join the body prior to the mummification process. This is not clearly visible on the X-rays so this highlights the importance of CT scanning to add further information on construction techniques. The wrappings around much of the body appear to be fairly loose. The skull appears to have suffered extensive damage causing many of the skeletal elements to fall to the base, leaving the outline of the bandages indicating that the body had desiccated prior to being damaged. The lower body appears to be disarticulated, but it predominantly the right anatomical position. The lower limbs appear to show un-fused or partially fused epiphyses, indicating that this animal was juvenile or sub-adult at the time of death. A dense metallic ring is visible radiographically beneath the mummy but within the coffin trough (modern conservation label). The base of the coffin displays a square hole towards the lower end of the cat mummy (make a note of this in case debris is being lost from the mummy through the hole). Tree rings are visible in the wood of the coffin, along with granular densities of unknown origin which appear to lie within the wood. There is a modern metallic conservation pin through the neck region.

Title A name given to the resource AEABB795 Museum ID No. 1921.37.11 Description An account of the resource EXTERNAL APPEARANCE Partially unwrapped hawk presented in plain brown linen. Beak exposed. RADIOGRAPHIC REPORT Complete and articulated skeleton of a hawk with intact talons and tip of the beak visible. Presented in the standard body position – wings folded in close to the body, legs outstretched and crossed. The neck is broken in the region of the cervical spine; however, this is most likely due to the mummification process which has caused the skull to be forced down upon the breastbone leading to an awkward appearance. This may have been caused when the bundle was wrapped as has been seen in one of the experimental mummies created at the KNH Centre. There is a mass in the abdominal cavity, visible on the CT reformat, which is consistent in appearance with visceral contents indicating that the bird was not eviscerated. Numerous dense anomalies are visible (by the neck and the legs) thought to be small stones which became trapped within the mummy bundle through the mummification process. There are no visible age indicators suggesting that this bird is likely to have reached skeletal maturity.

Title A name given to the resource AEABB796 Museum ID No. 1921.37.14 Description An account of the resource EXTERNAL APPEARANCE Complete crocodile bundle with square lozenge wrapping and facial decoration. RADIOGRAPHIC REPORT Radiography shows that this bundle, modeled in the form of a complete crocodile, contains what appears to be incomplete skeletal remains. The body form has been modeled from an organic substance which has cracked upon desiccation. A multi-phase mummification is seen – with the central core containing the upper part of a crocodile surrounded by reeds, visible in the transverse sections as hollow tubular structures. The organic matter appears very radiodense suggesting that a resinous substance was incorporated into the core, possibly to consolidate the material and enable it to be formed more efficiently.
