They include exhibit pieces and others that were stored in the museum&#8217;s archives, as well as equipment, personal objects, and architectural fragments. From the Egyptian archaeology collection, for example, a set of shabtis (small funeral statues), bronzes representing gods, and a stele (an inscribed stone plaque) from the ancient city of Abidos were saved. Items from other archaeological collections, such as the Mexican, Brazilian, Pre-Columbian, and Empress Teresa Cristina (1822\u20131889) collections, were also recovered. From the indigenous ethnology collection, researchers found two Karaj\u00e1 figurines, a decorated vase of unknown origin, and several ceramic artifacts. Mineral samples and a meteorite from the geology collection were also recovered from the wreckage of the fire. In October, museum technicians found a fragment of the femur and at least 80% of the skull of Luzia, an 11,000-year-old skeleton and one of the institution&#8217;s most important pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They include exhibit pieces and others that were stored in the museum&#8217;s archives, as well as equipment, personal objects, and architectural fragments","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":291113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[202,241],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-291112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notes","tag-archaeology","tag-history"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291112"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":291117,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291112\/revisions\/291117"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291112"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=291112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
