Excavation at Tell esh-Shuqafiya, Egypt, during the 1982 season exposed several Ptolemaic Period burials. One of these, a young adult male, showed a bright yellow stain on the right femur. Analysis of the stain demonstrated it to be hematoidin, a degradation compound derived from hemoglobin associated with old hemorrhage. The specific location of the stain on the skeleton suggests death a few weeks after a severe injury to the thigh.
1982年考古季期间，在埃及舒卡菲亚丘的发掘工作中发现了几座托勒密时期的墓葬。其中一座墓葬里有一名年轻成年男性，其右股骨上有一块亮黄色的污渍。对该污渍的分析表明，它是血棕晶，一种由与陈旧性出血相关的血红蛋白衍生而来的降解化合物。污渍在骨骼上的具体位置表明，死者在大腿受到严重损伤几周后死亡。
