• Resumen

  • Study of traumatic and tumoral paleopathological lesions coming from the skeletons fount into the Monthemhat tomb (TT34), el-Asasif, Luxor, during the 2007 year excavation. Into this tomb built at the end of the XXV dinasty to the beginning of the XXVIth, were exhumed about 153 Skeletons, meaning a real dinamic naecropolis. Only the best preserved skeletons were used in the statistical study (n=98). In the paleopathological analysis we observed a high prevalence of minor skull traumatic injuries (13,5%), and 4 cases with incised lesions without survival, caused by possible sword, knife and another edged tools (4,1%). In the case of benign tumors occurs a similar situation, 21,8% of the skeleton presented, at least one case of benign tumor and 3,1 % of the cases shows marks of malignant neoplasias in bones, a high prevalence not observed before in a populational study in Egypt.
