SEAMS outlined an innovative interdisciplinary methodology that represents a non-invasive, cost-effective, diagnostic alternative to destructive analyses in identifying the mummies’ contexts. Outstanding institutions and specialists experienced in different fields collaborated in refining a thorough protocol to gather unbiased, diagnostic, and dependable data. In doing so, a specific reference workflow, that combines traditional techniques with new technologies, has been developed with the aim of understanding whether the wrapping weaves of votive animal mummies are dating and geographic indicators. More than 200 animal mummies, chosen because of their elaborate wrapping system and a related archive dataset, have been analyzed through this methodology.
