mummified remains (human) (human remains)

Assorted human bones from a mummified body. Fairly young female, with no signs of disease. Almost a complete body but the skull is missing (apart from a piece of the upper jaw- third molar- and part of the left cheekbone, which are with the body). Wire is attached to some of the bones, presumably for suspension in the past. A few of the bones have flesh and/or muscle remaining. There are a couple of very small fragments of newspaper with the skeleton, one is loose and the other is stuck to one side of the pelvis.
