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.
