Urban survival, population dynamics and historical transitions in Thessaloniki (316 BC-AD 1500)
Cities have historically endured profound challenges while sustaining their populations through adaptive structures and functions. Understanding contemporary urbanization requires situating it within these long-term historical trajectories. This study examines the demographic consequences of historical transitions in Thessaloniki over 1,800 years, based on 846 individuals recovered from peri-urban and intramural cemeteries. Survival analysis was …
Variations in dietary patterns in the ancient Greek colony of Abdera
Abdera is an ancient Greek colony in northern Aegean. It exhibits a unique foundation history as it was first established in 654 BC by the Ionian city of Klazomenae and in 545 BC by the city of Teos. The first colonial endeavor failed due to harsh living conditions and conflicts with local populations. Exposed to unfamiliar challenges, the settlers faced physical strain and maladies, particularly affecting the subadults, who were deprived of prop…
Histomorphometric method for age-at-death estimation using the anterior side of the femoral midshaft
Digital 3D facial approximation of the Petralona skull. Methodological issues and applications
WEaning Age FiNder (Wean)
Nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ15N) of incremental dentine collagen have been extensively used for the study of breastfeeding and weaning practices in ancient populations. The shifts in δ15N values reveal the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, the onset and completion of weaning. Despite the significant progress in sampling precision protocols, the weaning estimation is still performed by visual observation of δ15N individual profiles, a time…
Stature estimation in Ancient Greece
Stature is critical for our understanding of human morphology and evolution. This necessitates the development of accurate stature estimation methods. The aim of the present study is to generate population-specific equations for ancient Greece and to explore the diachronic stature trends over the last 10,000 years. In parallel, it introduces the Logarithmic Human Stature Index (LHSI) as a new tool for inter-population comparisons. We collected an…
Application of machine learning on isotopic data from tooth microsections for reconstructing weaning patterns and physiological stress
Breastfeeding and Weaning in Roman Thessaloniki. An Investigation of Infant Diet based on Incremental Analysis of Human Dentine
In the present study, we report isotope (δ15N, δ13C) measurements on dentine increments from first permanent molars, to investigate breastfeeding practices in Thessaloniki, a provincial capital of the Roman Empire in northern Greece (168 BC–324 AD). For this purpose, we reconstructed diets from birth to seven yoa and estimated weaning ages for 20 individuals. We compared the individuals in relation to their biological sex and investigated diet du…
A comparison of the anatomical and the mathematical stature estimation methods on an ancient Greek population
%PE to evaluate each equation's effectiveness on both sexes simultaneously. We calculated long bone ratios and the Euclidean distance between the Greek dataset and the reference series. According to the anatomical method, males from Northern Greece had a mean stature value of 168.2 cm ± 5.38 and females of 156.9 cm ± 5.27. The regression equations of Vercellotti et al. (2009) provided the best estimations in both sexes. Estimation errors (%PE) we…
"What and how should we share?" An inter-method inter-observer comparison of measurement error with landmark-based craniometric datasets
The present study evaluates the precision and accuracy of photogrammetric 3D modeling of human crania in landmark acquisition and explores the limitations of combining datasets acquired by different observers and different measurement methods. Our working sample comprises 50 adult human crania, which were modeled with 3D photogrammetry. 3D coordinates of 56 landmarks were collected from the 3D models with Meshlab software and an existing correspo…
The Neolithic of Northern Greece and the Balkans – The environmental context of cultural transformation
Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans
Significance One of the most enduring and widely debated questions in prehistoric archaeology concerns the origins of Europe’s earliest farmers: Were they the descendants of local hunter-gatherers, or did they migrate from southwestern Asia, where farming began? We recover genome-wide DNA sequences from early farmers on both the European and Asian sides of the Aegean to reveal an unbroken chain of ancestry leading from central and southwestern Eu…
Harris lines revisited
Objectives: The occurrence of transverse radiopaque lines in long bones—Harris lines (HLs)—is correlated with episodes of temporary arrest of longitudinal growth and has been used as an indicator of health and nutritional status of modern and historical populations. However, the interpretation of HLs as a stress indicator remains debatable. The aim of this article is to evaluate the perspectives and the limitations of HLs analyses and to examine …
Diagnostic morphometric applicability of confocal laser scanning microscopy in Osteoarchaeology
The confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) has become an essential tool for a wide range of biological and clinical studies and imaging applications. The major imaging modes of the CLSM include single and serial optical sections from thick specimens (100 μm), multiple wavelength images and three-dimensional reconstruction. Such images provide measurement of length, surface or volume of objects. Surprisingly, this advanced microscopic method ha…
Indications of embalming in Roman Greece by physical, chemical and histological analysis
Technical note
Arrest in long bone growth and the subsequent resumption of growth may be visible as radiopaque transverse lines in radiographs (Harris lines, HL; Harris, HA. 1933. Bone growth in health and disease. London: Oxford University Press). The assessment of individual age at occurrence of such lines, as part of paleopathological skeletal studies, is time‐consuming and shows large intra‐ and interobserver variability. Thus, a standardized, automated det…
