Forensic protocols and medico-legal techniques are increasingly being employed in investigations of museological material. The final findings of such investigations may reveal interesting facts on historical figures, customs and habits, as well as provide meaningful data for forensic use. Herein we present a case review where forensic experts were requested to identify taxonomic affinities, stage of preservation and provide skeletal analysis of mummified non-human archaeological remains, and verify whether two mummified hands are human or not. The manuscript offers a short review on the process and particularities of radiological species identification, the impact of post-mortem changes in the analysis and imaging of mummified remains as well as the macroscopical interpretation of trauma, pathology and authenticity in mummified remains, which can all turn useful when dealing with forensic cases.
法医协议和法医学技术越来越多地应用于博物馆藏品的调查中。此类调查的最终结果可能会揭示有关历史人物、风俗习惯的有趣事实，还可为法医用途提供有意义的数据。在此，我们介绍一个案例回顾，其中法医专家被要求确定分类学亲缘关系、保存阶段，并对木乃伊化的非人类考古遗骸进行骨骼分析，以及验证两只木乃伊化的手是否属于人类。本文献简要回顾了放射学物种鉴定的过程和特点、死后变化对木乃伊化遗骸分析和成像的影响，以及木乃伊化遗骸中创伤、病理学和真伪的宏观解读，这些在处理法医案件时都可能会有所帮助。
