and also took part in the research of the Italian mision in Gela in
Sudan and the French expedition to Douch. They combined
research on the skeletal remains from archaeological excavations
with studies of the contemporary population in Wadi Haifa,
Alexandria and El Tikena, carried out in association with Sudanese
and Egyptian colleagues.
Tadeusz Dzierzykray-Rogalski started anthropological studies
in Egypt in 1958. During the UNESCO Nubian Campaign
(1960-1964), he investigated the skeletal remains from the tombs of
the bishops of Faras, uncovered in the vicinity of the Cathedral at
Faras, and published the results as a separate study. In 1962, he
began work in Alexandria, where he was joined by
Elzbieta Prominska in 1964. For fourteen years, they worked
together on recording the skeletal remains from the Arab necropolis
on Kom el-Dikka. Together with the studies on the contemporary
population of Alexandria, this effort of many years gave rise to
a monograph on the population of Muslim Alexandria written by
Elzbieta Prominska.
Together they devoted a great deal of attention and several
studies to the Neolithic tombs at Kadero and Gela in Sudan. They
also recorded the skeletal remains from tombs in Old Dongola, the
medieval capital of Nubia. They were instrumental in developing
Nubian studies in their field, presenting their findings at numerous
scientific conferences around the world.
Tadeusz Dzierzykray-Rogalski also devoted his attention to
research on Egyptian mummies from the Pharaonic period. He
began his investigations on mummies uncovered at Deir el-Bahari
in the course of Polish-Egyptian work in the temple of Hatshepsut,
and continued them later at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
In the seventies and eighties, he carried out research on the
skeletal remains from the 15th-16th century Mausoleum of Emir
Qurqumas in the City of the Dead in Cairo.
While a fascination with Africa was hardly the only theme in
their professional life, Tadeusz Dzierzykray-Rogalski and
