The Middle Pastoral human remains from Wadi Takarkori in the Libyan Acacus mountains (Fezzan) are exceptionally preserved partial mummies ranging between 6100 and 5000 uncal years BP; this small sample represents the most ancient of its kind ever found. In this report, we present a survey of the skeletal anatomy of these mummified corpses, based on high resolution CT-scan data, including a preliminary phenetic interpretation of their cranial morphology.

Abstract
The Middle Pastoral human remains from Wadi Takarkori in the Libyan Acacus mountains (Fezzan) are exceptionally preserved partial mummies ranging between 6100 and 5000 uncal years BP; this small sample represents the most ancient of its kind ever found. In this report, we present a survey of the skeletal anatomy of these mummified corpses, based on high resolution CT-scan data, including a preliminary phenetic interpretation of their cranial morphology.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
