Food in Ancient Egypt (Archeology Series)

Unabridged reprint of a scarce Ruffer work which was not included in the Paleopathology compilation by Roy Lee Moodie. Originally compiled in Egypt in 1919 nearly two years after the death of Ruffer, and submitted by his widow under the auspices of Sa Hautesse Ahmed Fouad, Sultan of Egypt, this work was recently discovered in the basement of a museum where it had been in storage since 1920. It has been printed here as the original complete 88 page work which pays particular attention to caries and dentition of mummies, as investigated by Ruffer just prior to his death.
