Abstract
Differences in elemental concentrations in bones taken from an ancient Egyptian mummy and a contemporary man were investigated by using proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE) in combination with Rutherford backscattering. Marked differences were noticed in the iron/calcium and lead/calcium relative concentrations, which were consistently higher in the contemporary man. -- AATA
