Authors
In the Anthropological and Ethnographical Museum of University of Cagliari are custodied two mummies, a male and a female one. Subjected to autopsy in 1895, the latter is wrapped by mystery. It is considered she could be a victim of a murder. In the light of modern techniques of inquiry, a multidisciplinary team of research tries to throw light on some main aspects:
• The woman’s age
• The reasons of death
• The causes of mummification
The achieved data are compared with those reported in the account of the autopsy, published by Gaetano Corrado in 1899.
