| Abstract: | A mortality and sex ratio survey has been done on both the osteological and the mummy collections from the Gebelen and Asiut cemeteries of Upper Egypt. The results show a fairly low average age of death for adults of about 36 years and a sex differentiation in mortality, that is higher for young females. This fact may be correlated with childbirth. |
