DNA from 1,600-year-old Iranian sheep mummy brings history to life - HeritageDaily

A team of geneticists and archaeologists from Ireland, France, Iran, Germany, and Austria has sequenced the DNA from a 1,600-year-old sheep mummy from an ancient Iranian salt mine, Chehrābād. This remarkable specimen has revealed sheep husbandry practices of the ancient Near East, as well as underlining how natural mummification can affect DNA degradation. The incredible findings have just been published in the international, peer-reviewed journal Biology Letters. The salt mine of Chehrābād is known to preserve biological material. Indeed, it is in this mine that human remains of the famed “Salt Men” were recovered, dessicated by the salt-rich environment. The new research confirms that this natural mummification process – where water is removed from a corpse, preserving soft tissues that would otherwise be degraded – also conserved animal remains.

DNA From a 1600-Year-Old Mummified Sheep Opens New Doors for Scientific Study

A group of geneticists and archeologists from Ireland, France, Iran, Germany, and Austria sequenced the DNA of 1,600-year-old sheep mummies discovered in an ancient Iranian salt mine, Chehrābād. This unique specimen has revealed ancient Near Eastern sheep husbandry techniques and demonstrates how natural mummification might impact DNA degradation. The fantastic discoveries were just published in the peer-reviewed international journal Biology Letters.

Indeed, the famous Salt Men s human bones were discovered in this mine, desiccated by the salty atmosphere. The new study reveals that the natural mummification process involves removing water from a body to preserve soft tissues that would otherwise decay and preserve animal remains
