Soft tissue was modelled on the skull following mean thickness at several anthropological measuring points.

The fact that the unknown woman comes from a royal cachette and is dated to the later 18th Dynasty makes her a potential candidate for an Amarna Princess. 

Possible candidated might be:

  • Meritaton

  • Baketaton

  • Ankhesenamun

 

We strongly suggest that her remains should be genetically tested and compared to the family members of Tutankhamun.
