520 | _aThis article profiles "Dr. Arthur Aufderheide, one of the world's leading experts on the dissection of mummies, and a founder of modern paleopathology--the study of ancient diseases....Paleopathologists value the preserved tissues of mummies because they may harbor signs of ailments, or even traces of ancient pathogens. This type of evidence allows scientists to track the historical arc of diseases such as influenza or tuberculosis, and determine the cause of medieval plagues like the Black Death....Aufderheide has written what is considered the authoritative guide to the field, 'The Scientific Study of Mummies,' published in 2003 by Cambridge University Press."
