Jana Jones was an Australian Egyptologist and research fellow in the department of ancient history at Macquarie University.[1] She was an expert on ancient Egyptian textiles. She also contributed to excavations at Helwan cemetery.[2]
Her research provided evidence that mummification occurred in Prehistoric Egypt,[3][4] approximately 1,500 years earlier than previously believed, through the analysis of Mummy S. 293 from the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.[5]
She completed a BA degree at Macquarie University, majoring in modern languages. Later, she received an MA and then PhD in Egyptology from Macquarie University.
