The investigation of child remains can provide answers to many questions, including population health levels and cultural activities in which they could have participated. During excavations conducted in 1987/1988 by Francis Riddell and Lidio Valdez in the Yauca Valley, many well-preserved child mummies were found. In 2017, these mummies were the object of anthropological research for the first time. Studies were conducted including: radiography, anthropological analysis, and photography in different kinds of lights (UV, infrared). The results of this study show some pathologies causing high child mortality rates and permanent body decorations like: artificial cranial deformation and ear deformity caused by orejeras.

NOWATTHEFIELDMUSEUM

Mummies See mummies as you never have before in this rare, close-up look at mummies from the two places in the world with the longest and most interesting mummification traditions: ancient Egypt and ancient Peru. Mummies concludes its highly successful national tour to open at home in Chicago. Comprised entirely of objects from The Field’s own collection, the exhibition includes 14 mummies, exquisitely painted coffins, stone sarcophagus fragments, ceramics, mummified animals, and mummy masks. Using non-invasive CT scanning, DNA analysis, and other cutting-edge technologies, Field Museum scientists pare back thousands of years and reveal the people behind gilded coffins and carefully wrapped bundles.

Ancient Mediterranean Cultures in Contact What happens when cultures collide and people are able to trade, interact, and influence each other like never before? Ancient Mediterranean Cultures in Contact features an impressive array of Roman, Egyptian, Greek, and Etruscan objects and dives into a time when borders opened and civilizations began to interact. This unprecedented movement led to trade, travel, and the exchange of ideas across seas and continents, fueling innovation and adoption in the arts, religion, language, and writing. Each individual piece in the exhibition has a much larger story to tell: a Roman Period mummy from Egypt, an Etruscan vase made in the Greek style, and the crowning of Greek and Roman leaders as pharaohs challenge what we’ve come to believe about these ancient nations and the world we live in today.
