Abstract
Betweeen 2009 and 2011, 281 bodies were discovered during excavation in a Medioeval Church near Modena. About 60 of these bodies were naturally and casually mummified due to the microclimatic arrangement of the sepulcher. Those natural mummies showed part of skin, tendons and hair. Volumetric CT scan was performed from skull to the feet, to obtain a slice thicknes of 1 mm. VR, MPR reconstructions were subsequently performed. Antropometric measurements included evalutaion of the skull and femur. To obtain anthropometric and identify any pathological information, CT scan has been performed, with a slice thickness of 1.25 and 0.6 collimation (GE 16 slices, Milwaukee, Wisconsin).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
