Interesting question.  I didn't have a mummie, but have long loved
puzzling out Nomenclature teasers.  In the original version of
Nomenclature it would have been easier:  SOCIETAL ARTIFACTS / CEREMONIAL
ARTIFACTS / MUMMY (added object term determined in accordance with Chap.
2 'A Logical System for Naming Things.')

In the revised Nomenclature it seems more awkward, but probably would
have to be COMMUNICATION ARTIFACTS / CEREMONIAL ARTIFACT/ MUMMY (you
would have to add the object term even though doing so has been heavily
discouraged in this version).

This allows me to air a long-time gripe I've had with the revised
Nomenclature. It seems that, in the interests of keeping only 10 major
categories, some Specific Classification categories were shifted into
major categories with a less-than-good fit. It would have been better to
keep the major classification 'Societal Artifacts' as all sub categories
in it are poor fits in the categories they were shifted to.

My apologies for being unable to provide a french translation.
