The University of Manchester and the Natural History Museum in London are to revisit the work of anthropologist Grafton Elliot Smith and set up a publicly available website on his excellent but as yet overlooked work. The team, which includes researchers at Manchester’s KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology, has won a £160,000 Wellcome Trust grant to re-examine Smith’s evidence from 20,000 bodies buried at Nubia, in research that never received the recognition it deserved.
