dc.description.abstractPaleodermatology is a collaborative science that provides insights into the physiology and pathology of ancient populations as well as informs physicochemical properties currently relevant to dermatologic research. Mummification is a taphonomic process antagonistic to putrefaction characterized by dehydration and desiccation of soft tissues. Spontaneous natural mummification requires arid conditions, such as extreme temperatures, dryness, and hypoxia, to prevent cell autolysis, insects from laying eggs, and bacteria growing on the cadaver. Once skin is mummified, it is extremely resistant to decomposition and can remain unchanged for thousands of years. Very well-preserved micro- and ultrastructures have been observed in mummified skin.
