Abstract
Scarab amulets were mass produced in the east Mediterranean from the Bronze age to the first centuries before Christ (they are still produced today) and have been widely used as chronological markers by archaeologists and historians. The similarity of these artefacts to the original insect species was at times remarkable. A comparison between the artefact and the insect is most beneficial as it explains a number of features on the artefact that are difficult to understand from the artefact alone, but also points out morphological differences that reflect anatomical differences between subspecies that had not hitherto been observed.
