mummies and mummification
type: Concept
definition: The term mummy describes the corpse of an organism where decay is arrested for a considerable period of time and a semblance of life-like appearance is preserved. Some natural environments can mummify animal and human bodies spontaneously, thereby preserving them over great periods of time. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Mummies and Mummification]
