The Canopic Jar Project will establish novel research procedures and examine a larger series of ancient Egyptian human mummies and viscera samples from canopic jars in European and American museum collections in a truly interdisciplinary research setting. This inventive focus particularly on the contents of ancient Egyptian canopic jars can produce results, which are not obtainable by conventional ancient mummy research methods. The medical field will benefit from the understanding of pathogen evolution, which are of vital importance to increasing our understanding of the health and social structure of ancient Egypt.
