| Abstract | ||
| ‘Human-Bioheritage’ refers to the archaeological human remains (bones, dentition, and mummies). Although frequently excavated human- bioheritage, and the wealth of human remains and mummies present in Egypt, the Egyptian youth whether students, researchers, or academic staff face several challenges in studying, investigating and publishing within this area of interest. Consequently, the present study adopted the mixed type questionnaire to collect the data from two groups of respondents; students and researchers as the first group, and the academic staff specialized in bioarchaeology studies. Results revealed that; limited financial support, inappropriate educational system, routine and unqualified individuals working within this sector were the main challenges facing youth. Additionally, suggestions to overcome the challenges, and proposed ideas for future development were discussed. | ||
