Human diet in Mantua (Northern Italy)
The Copper to Middle Bronze Ages are particularly significant times in Italian Protohistory, as they were marked by major dietary, social, and technological transformations. Stable isotope analysis has become a key tool in reconstructing past human diets. Although its application has expanded across the Italian Peninsula over the past decade, data for the Copper Age in northern Italy remain limited, and geographic coverage is still uneven. This s…
Transition to adulthood in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Background: For youth living with neurodisabilities and rare conditions, transitioning from pediatric to adult care results in significant loss of services and supports. This article examines transition-related health systems, policies and provider roles in the context of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a multi-systemic X-linked disorder mainly characterized by progressive muscle degeneration, with about 30% of patients presenting with …
A Case of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip with Dislocation from Ancient Rome
This study focuses on an individual from the southeastern area of the Roman Suburbium in Late Antiquity (3rd–5th centuries CE), whose skeleton was found in a multiple burial alongside five others. Osteological and CT imaging analyses revealed a significant developmental defect in the left hip, characterized by a shallow, flattened acetabulum and a hypoplastic or aplastic femoral head, with no evidence of infection or postmortem alteration. This r…

Archaeobotanical record from dental calculus of a Roman individual affected by bilateral temporo-mandibular joint ankylosis
Literature in Dialect
Prose production in dialect is probably the big absentee in Arabic literature textbooks. While poetry in dialect has managed to carve its own small space in textbooks on the history of Arabic literature, the same does not go for novels or short stories written in ‘āmmiyya. Most critics, especially Arabs, do not acknowledge their literary dignity. However, scholars of contemporary Arabic literature can no longer avoid seriously analysing Egyptian …
Isotopic reconstruction of the subsistence strategy for a Central Italian Bronze Age community (Pastena cave, 2nd millennium BCE)
The Pastena cave is located in central Italy, and its best-preserved sector is Grotticella W2, which is dated radiometrically to the Early-Middle Bronze Age. The aim of this paper is to explore human diet, animal husbandry, and plant management, analysing the findings there discovered. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis was carried out on 40 charred seeds, six faunal remains, and four human individuals, investigating the whole bio-archae…
Les sépultures italiennes du Paléolithique supérieur. Reconstitutions du régime alimentaire
Ancient genomes from a rural site in Imperial Rome (1 st –3 rd cent. CE)
The genomic legacy with the south-eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the Central and Western Northern-African coast funerary influence pave the way for considering people buried in QCP as resembling a Punic-derived human group
Paleogenetic evidence of a Pyrenean Neolithic family
Dietary and Weaning Habits of the Roman Community of Quarto Cappello del Prete (Rome, 1st-3 rd Century CE)
This paper aims to provide the isotopic characterization of the diet consumed by people buried in a graveyard of the Imperial Rome Suburbium (1st–3rd centuries CE), where numerous children were buried. A sample of 50 human remains from Quarto Cappello del Prete was selected for carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. Published data related to coeval faunal remains set the baseline of the diet. The results for humans were integrated with prev…
Food at the heart of the Empire
This paper aims to provide a broad diet reconstruction for people buried in archaeologically defined contexts in Rome (first to third centuries CE), in order to combine archaeological and biological evidence focusing on dietary preferences in Imperial Rome. A sample of 214 human bones recovered from 6 funerary contexts was selected for carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. The baseline for the terrestrial protein component of the diet was …
The edge of the Empire
This paper aims to define the dietary profile of the population of early medieval Rome (fifth-eleventh centuries CE) by carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. This period was characterized by deep changes in the city's economic, demographic, and social patterns, probably affecting its inhabitants' nutritional habits. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of bone collagen was used to detect the nutritional profile of 110 humans from si…
Sr isotopic composition as a tool for unraveling human mobility in the Campania area
Eneolithic subsistence economy in Central Italy
Mitochondrial variability in the Mediterranean area
CONTEXT: The Mediterranean area has always played a significant role in human dispersal due to the large number of migratory events contributing to shape the cultural features and the genetic pool of its populations. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to review and diachronically describe the mitogenome variability in the Mediterranean population and the main demic diffusions that occurred in this area over time. METHODS: Frequency distributions of the l…
Mitochondrial characterisation of two Spanish populations from the Vera and Bejar valleys (Central Spain)
This survey reports the mitochondrial data of two Spanish populations living in the Vera and Bejar valleys, on the opposite slopes of the Sierra de Gredos (Central Spain), which crosses Spain east to west. The aim of the study was to characterise the mitochondrial genetic pool of the Vera and Bejar populations to investigate a putative mitogenetic differentiation between them, evidence that would support the role of the Sierra de Gredos as a gene…
Castrum Novum (Santa Marinella, prov. de Rome)
Introduction(F. Enei, S. Nardi Combescure, G. Poccardi) Au cours du mois de septembre 2016, les recherches de terrain entreprises l’année précédente ont été poursuivies sur la colline du « Casale Alibrandi » (zone D) qui correspond au cœur de la colonie de Castrum Novum. Trois nouveaux sondages ont été ouverts : le sondage IV a permis de dégager une partie importante des remparts du IIIe siècle av. J. -C. ; le sondage V a intéressé des édifices r…
Traces of forgotten historical events in mountain communities in C entral I taly
OBJECTIVES: Analysis of human genetic variation in mountain communities can shed light on the peopling of mountainous regions, perhaps revealing whether the remote geographic location spared them from outside invasion and preserved their gene pool from admixture. In this study, we created a model to assess genetic traces of historical events by reconstructing the paternal and maternal genetic history of seven small mountain villages in inland val…
Functional variability of glutathione S‐transferases in basque populations
