What does the Edwin Smith Papyrus say?

The Edwin Smith Papyrus is an incomplete copy of an earlier text on surgery. It covers 48 cases, mostly of injuries caused my some type of trauma, and provides instructions on the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. They are all conditions that affect the head or spinal cord. Each condition is classified according to how treatable it is into "favourable", "uncertain" or "intractable" and unlike so many texts of the time diagnosis and treatment are based on practical, logical observation and care rather than magic. To mention just a few of the cases (given by modern names or descriptions): Tetanus (case 7, shown by lock jaw) Aphasia (case 20, classified as untreatable) Gaping wound to the neck, down to the bone (case 29) Sprained neck (case 30) Dislocation of the neck vertebrae (case 31) Crushed vertebrae in the neck (case 33, classified as untreatable) Sprain in the spine (case 48) It also covers various headaches and concussions, sciatica, treatments such as splinting, returning dislocated joints to their sockets, dressing wounds and shows the Egyptian understanding of the human body and the way in which it worked. A full translation of the text by J. breasted was published in 1939.

What activities might an archaeologist most likely do?

They go to remote sites in various places and dig up what is in the ground. They have to be very careful and not damage ancient artifacts. To work a site they make a grid and number it. If something is found they take a photo of it still in it's location, they number the item, and log it into a logbook. The location of an item can be as important as the item it's self. Then, they make sure the item is preserved correctly because in some cases exposure to air can make an item fall apart. The archaeologists also has to know the culture and history of an area so he can know where to look and the age or significance of artifacts. Many specialize in a particular area, culture, history, society . There are also underwater archaeologists so they also have to know how to dive. They do much the same thing that is done on land with grids and dating items. Many times their preservation requires them to keep items found in water so they won't decompose when they hit the air. Archaeologists also work in museums and preservation of historical sites. They also teach at universities when not working on a site. Sometimes they do experiments to try to figure out how something was done and copy a building like a pyramid that is all ready made to figure out how it was done or test a theory.
