Abstract

This chapter presents a preliminary analysis of the osteological collection within the Fag el-Gamous storage magazine to determine the potential for further bioarchaeological analysis and academic contribution to knowledge. A small sample of the cranial collection was observed and documented using more comprehensive methods than those that were possible under the time constraints of previous seasons. Following a brief discussion of the site, cranial collection, and materials and methods used within this study, the resulting raw paleopathological data is revealed in this chapter, followed by a summary of the findings. Although in most cases the archived osteological records were not available for comparison, with the knowledge of what characteristics had been documented in previous seasons, this study reveals the vast potential for further bioarchaeological studies at Fag el-Gamous and brings to light some previously unknown information about the individuals examined.
