While watching cable a couple of nights ago, I happened across a typically inspired piece on modern mummification. I missed the beginning of the bit, so missed where the one company was located, but the one that specialized not only in humans but pets was located in Utah, and is called Summum. I'd like to get more information to use in the Egyptomania section of my Egyptcian Civ course. Anyway, any information that the list can provide would be greatly appreciated. We work hard.
Archaeology is mostly a sore back and aching fingers.
Sure all scholars have some bias. When alpha levels go from .05 to .10, to .20, etc. I would submit that theories derived from tested hypotheses is probably a safer method of doing science. Ken's points are well taken. Macro and micro level objectivity can become muddled by putting the cart before the horse.
