UWO 'ground zero' for mummy studies: Researcher
Toronto Sun
Two University of Western Ontario researchers have won international grants for their projects, one of which will make the university the "ground zero" of mummy studies.
Using CT scans to help him look inside mummies, researcher Andrew Nelson and his team are trying to determine cultural, political and foreign influences in ancient Egypt.
"To look at that pattern, you need to assemble data from lots of mummies," said Nelson, an associate professor of anthropology and associate dean of research in the faculty of social sciences.
Nelson is partnering with research groups in the U.S.
The project has won him a $165,000-grant as part of the second annual digging into data challenge.
