During the excavation of St. Stephan’s Church in Leuk (Switzerland) in the 1980s, a well-preserved mummy with clothing and shoes was found in a wooden coffin. Subsequently, the mummy underwent restoration, but the observations have never been published. Therefore, an interdisciplinary investigation was recently organized that included a thorough archaeological and anthropological documentation in collaboration with specialists in costume history and leatherworking. The aim was to gather evidence for the dating and preservation mechanism, as well as to determine the biological profile of the individual. The investigation was accompanied by a noninvasive examination with a mobile x-ray device, which enabled identification of sex, age, body height, and pathologies. The clothing (cape, blouse, skirt, drawers) and the shoes were subjected to a detailed stylistic and technological examination. The individual is female, aged 45–60 years, with foot deformities that might be related to constricting footwear. Stylistic details of the shoes indicate that the burial dates from the first half of the 17th century, more precisely to the 1630s. Despite her simple clothing, the burial location attests to her respected position in society.

来自 Leuk 的女人（瑞士）——17 世纪木乃伊的发现、保护和跨学科调查

1980 年代，在对 Leuk（瑞士）的 St. Stephan 教堂进行挖掘时，在一个木制棺材中发现了一具保存完好的木乃伊，里面有衣服和鞋子。随后，木乃伊进行了修复，但观察结果从未发表。因此，最近组织了一项跨学科调查，其中包括与服装历史和皮革加工专家合作的详尽考古学和人类学文献。目的是收集年代和保存机制的证据，以及确定个体的生物学特征。调查伴随着使用移动 X 射线设备进行的无创检查，可以识别性别、年龄、身高和病理。服装（披风、上衣、裙子、抽屉），鞋子经过了详细的风格和技术检查。个体为女性，年龄 45-60 岁，足部畸形，可能与鞋袜收缩有关。鞋子的风格细节表明葬礼可以追溯到 17 世纪上半叶，更准确地说是 1630 年代。尽管她穿着简单，但墓地证明了她在社会中受人尊敬的地位。
