3. Tattooed Human Mummies, List Version 2.0

Author

Deter-Wolf, Aaron

Abstract

The following presents a global data set identifying tattooed human mummies from the archaeological record. The initial version of this list (Version 1.0) was compiled in 2016 for inclusion as Table 1 in the journal article “The World’s Oldest Tattoos” (Deter-Wolf et al. 2016). Benoît Robitaille, Lars Krutak, and Sébastien Galliot all contributed to that initial effort. Changes between versions are detailed below. Entries in the data table are organized broadly by date, and rely on direct dating wherever possible. Where radiocarbon data is available, dates represent calibrated ranges. Each entry also includes documentation as to the associated archaeological culture, site, and significant source material. At the present time, unpublished and/or unprovenienced specimens from museums and private collections are not generally included in the data set. Changes from Version 1.0 to 2.0:· Deleted “Loulan Beauty” from Gumugou, Qäwrighul, China, who is not tattooed.· Updated Egyptian data per Friedman (2017:Table 1)· Improved citations and corrected date ranges as necessary· New entries for Timbac Rockshelter; Centinela; Lambayeque mummy from El Brujo; Cemetery 2 and Cerro Colorado, Huacho; Zapallan, and Huaca San Miguel

Abstract

This report presents the results of the cultural resources investigations undertaken by Earth Search, Inc. (ESI) in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District (NODCOE) proposed Lake Pontchartrain West Shore Hurricane Protection Project District in portions of St. Charles and St. John the Baptist Parishes, Louisiana. Fieldwork consisted of a program of shovel testing and auger probing within the project right-of pway (ROW). The total area surveyed was approximately 33.6 ha (83 A). A circa 1920 Fairbanks Morse diesel engine was noted to the east of the St. John the Baptist Parish airport in Area B of the project area. The engine is not eligible or potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). No other cultural or architectural features were identified within or adjacent to the project corridor., The original document contains color images.

Abstract

This paper presents the first experimental archaeological study to formally compare the physical characteristics of tattoos made on human skin using multiple pre-modern tools and tattooing techniques. Our project used eight tools fashioned from animal bone, obsidian, copper, and boar tusk, along with a modern steel needle, to create tattoos on the leg of co-author Danny Riday. Those tattoos were created through four different traditional, pre-electric techniques consisting of hand poking, hand tapping, incision, and subdermal tattooing. We then documented the tattoos over a six-month period to compare the results. This process revealed clear physical differences between tattoos created using different tools and methods. The resulting data is then used to assess preserved tattoos from archaeological sites in the Andes and Greenland in order to test assumptions about how those marks were created.
