DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of bone specimens and artefacts excavated durin
 g the Archaeological Survey of Nubia (1907-1911)\, revealing the lives o
 f the inhabitants of ancient Nubia\, Egypt’s southern neighbour.\n\nThe 
 anatomical study of these remains was co-ordinated by Sir Grafton Elliot
  Smith\, Professor of Anatomy at The University of Manchester\, who is c
 redited as one of the founders of Palaeopathology\, the study of ancient
  disease. One of the most important outcomes of the project was the crea
 tion of Elliot Smith’s Palaeopathology study collection\, now dispersed 
 throughout the UK. The collection contains evidence for Nubian health an
 d disease\, mummification techniques and racial characteristics\, and as
  such is an invaluable resource for studying ancient Nubia.\n\nThe exhib
 ition features specimens from the Nubian Pathological Collection housed 
 in the Natural History Museum\, London\, material from the KNH Centre fo
 r Biomedical Egyptology at The University of Manchester\, displayed alon
 gside excavation photos and artefacts from The Manchester Museum.
