LAWRENCE — A University of Kansas anthropologist and two KU graduate students recently coordinated the ritual re-wrapping of a 450-year-old Amazonian mummy in Peru. Bartholomew Dean and graduate students Joshua Homan and Sydney Silverstein re-wrapped the mummy at the National University of San Martin Regional Museum. They used new wrappings weaved by a group of Indian women weavers from the village of San Antonio de Rio Mayo. Dean has been teaching a training course dedicated to the study of social change and community welfare in the upper Amazon which he says is one of the globe’s most culturally and biologically diverse regions.
