As a nursing major in the anthropology class i found this article very intersting how the two subjects were so closely related. The Pompeii "Life and Death in the Shadows of Vesuvius" exhibit portrays humans in a sort of "cast" much like that of the early Egyptians practiced. They are portrayed in the sense that they were found after the volcano had errupted and basically froze the bodies in time. There is also another intersting combination of this preserving of the human body in the European museum named "bodies" where they also preserve body structures to study and examine them. This can be found at http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/about-the-exhibition.html . I think these are two very intersting articles/exhibits that portray both a medical and an anthropology view!
