The scientific investigation of Natsef-Amun, keeper of the bulls

A mummy in the Leeds City Museum, purchased in 1823 by a Leeds banker, was first autopsied in 1824. In 1990 a renewed study was undertaken by the Manchester Mummy Team, using non-destructive techniques of examination. The body is that of Natsef-Amun, a priest at Karnak who held various scribal titles and who lived in the later 20th Dynasty. The techniques employed in the investigation included conventional radiology, CT-scans, endoscopy and histology, serology, dental examination, DNA identification, and fingerprint studies. Also, a reconstruction of the head was made. (OEB).
