Mummies, Disease and Ancient Cultures by Thomas Aidan Cockburn

The most well-preserved, and therefore the most thoroughly-studied, mummies were found on Tenerife. In Lanzarote and Fuerteventura this practice is ruled out. In La Palma they were preserved by these environmental factors and in La Gomera, and El Hierro the existence of mummification is not verified.

In Gran Canaria there is currently a debate on the true nature of the mummies of the ancient inhabitants of the island, as researchers point out that there was no real intention to mummify the deceased and that the good conservation of some of them is due rather to environmental factors. Mummification on the Canary Islands during the Guanche period remained confined to Tenerife.
