Abstract

THE extensive damage done to skulls and bones generally in many of the graves of Egypt and Nubia has been attributed to beetles, the bodies of these animals having been found in the earth which is invariably associated with the damaged area, the latter being, in fact, always covered with earth unless it has been knocked off during removal of the skull from the grave.
