The mummy of Takabuti is one of the best known antiquities in the Ulster Museum, Belfast. Modern scientific investigations have revealed new evidence about her ancestry, lifestyle, illnesses, and murder. This multi-authored book demonstrates how researchers act as 'forensic detectives' piecing together a picture of the life and times of Takabuti.
