Abstract During the excavations of the German Oriental Society (DOG) in the pyramid and royal cemetery of Abusir (Egypt) from 1898 to 1908, the excavators under Ludwig Borchardt came across many graves from the late Old and Middle Kingdom (early 20th century BCE). In addition to documenting the finds and findings, special attention was paid to the bodies, some of which were still mummified, which were sent to the Ethnological Museum in Berlin, among others. Until now, it was assumed that the skeletons were lost in the chaos of the Second World War. The processing of the anthropological collection at the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Berlin has now shown that almost all of the skeletons from the Abusir excavation that were sent to Berlin at the time are still there. This article provides an initial presentation of the archaeological findings and initial partial results of the renewed anthropological investigation. The entire collection will continue to be processed in the future, primarily with the help of the most modern scientific methodology.
The In-m-achet ensemble is of particular importance within the collection - not least because of its good preservation to this day. 49 The mummy has been preserved,50 along with a colored mummy mask,51 which had been buried in an inscribed box coffin52 with its back leaning slightly against the west wall. In the coffin there were also two wooden sticks53 and a necklace of spherical beads. 54 An exquisite wooden statuette was also found in the coffin, under the left shoulder of the mummy (ÄM 16202, Fig. 6). Based on the short inscription, this is the image of the deceased himself. The statuette, made of several separately manufactured parts, still has the original color, which highlights details such as the collar and hairstyle, etc. Two wooden model boats stood on the coffin itself. 55 A spherical clay vessel stood between the coffin of In-m-akhet and that of Nechit on the chamber floor. 56 The photo documentation of the findings shows that all individuals were clearly found mummified in the box coffins. 57 According to the description, the mummy of Sat-Bastet alone had already "completely decayed. Skull, ribs and pelvis were exposed". 58 Only the mummy of In-m-akhet has survived today as a mummified corpse with its original linen wrapping. The other three mummies were apparently unwrapped either during the excavation itself or later in Berlin. As part of the investigation of the Berlin M mummies from 1988 onwards, the mummy of In-m-akhet was also photographed and examined in detail. 59 Not only were X-rays and 3D CT scans taken (Fig. 7), but linen remains were also chemically examined. This showed that the linen bandages used for mummification had already been dyed with safflower (dyer's safflower). 60 Although the mummy was unusually long and large at 1.90 m, the X-ray examination showed that it was an individual with a relatively delicate bone structure (see Fig. 7c). 61 It was proven that it was a man who died between the ages of 50 and 65 and very probably had several paleopathological conditions, such as severe arteriosclerosis on both lower legs and signs of diabetes. 62 Important clues were also obtained about the mummification technique used. For example, the brain appears to have been removed through the occipital foramen rather than through the nose, as was later common. For this, however, it was necessary to separate the head from the torso. The body, especially the pelvic area, had decomposed significantly, so that the method used to remove the remaining organs could no longer be clearly proven. 63 To the west of the box coffin of In-m-akhet stood the coffin of Nekhet, in which the excavators found the still completely mummified body, together with a separately attached, but only fragmented, mummy mask64. H. Schäfer reports that "the mummy could be unwrapped",65 although it remains unclear whether this happened during the excavation or only in Berlin. The excavation diary itself does not report on the unwrapping of the mummy, which is otherwise very detailed and contains many sketches of the findings. This at least suggests that the unwrapping was only carried out in Berlin.
