The First Archaeologists of Poggio Gramignano
The archaeological site of Poggio Gramignano, a prominent hilltop located near the southern Umbrian village of Lugnano in Teverina (TR), is well-known for the Augustan villa and the late antique infant and child cemetery found along the hill’s southwest corner. Recent fieldwork, however, has brought to light surprising new discoveries that reveal a more ancient history at Poggio Gramignano, extending the evidence for occupation back into the Orie…
Materializing the Links Between Climate Change and Disease Outbreaks in Antiquity
The Socio-Economics of Roman Storage
The Socio-Economics of Roman Storage: Agriculture, Trade, and Family by Astrid Van Oyen offers a fresh perspective on an old topic. The study of ancient storage has historically concerned questions of risk buffering at the individual level and social evolution at the state level, both of which have traditionally been approached by focusing on the presence or absence of storage infrastructure and its quantification. This is certainly the case in t…
Villa Estates and Malaria Risk in Roman Central Italy
Malaria has persisted in Italy since the Roman Imperial period, perhaps since as early as the second century BCE. Yet little is known regarding Romans’ everyday interactions with this historically oppressive mosquito-borne disease, knowledge of which is crucial for understanding the broader significance of malaria in Roman history. This is in part due to the limitations of current approaches for studying ancient malaria, which focus primarily on …
Nested Environments
The late antique (ca. mid. 5th century CE) infant and child cemetery at Poggio Gramignano near Lugnano in Teverina (Umbria, Italy) is well-known for its association with malaria. However, less is known about the community members most closely connected to this cemetery space–in particular, the the infants' mothers. This paper more closely explores the health of the 62 individuals who have been recovered from the cemetery to date with the goal of …
Global Health Needs Modernized Containment Strategies to Prepare for the Next Pandemic
COVID-19 continues to be a public health crisis, while severely impacting global financial markets causing significant economic and social hardship. As with any emerging disease, pharmaceutical interventions required time, emphasizing the initial and continuing need for non-pharmaceutical interventions. We highlight the role of anthropological and historical perspectives to inform approaches to non-pharmaceutical interventions for future prepared…
