A probable case of multiple osteochondromas from an Early Medieval burial site in the Venetian lagoon (Italy)
Project nEU-Med. The Contribution of Isotopic Analysis in the Differential Diagnosis of Anemia, the Case of the Medieval Cemetery of Vetricella (Scarlino, GR) in Tuscany
Pathological conditions in skeletal remains, such as cribra orbitalia and porotic hyperostosis, can be caused by etiologically different forms of anemia: hereditary hemolytic anemias, iron deficiency anemias, megaloblastic anemias, etc. Though not always simple to apply, differential diagnosis of cases of anemia found in the archaeological record is essential to correlate the pathology with the wider environmental and socio-cultural context.Anthr…
A multidisciplinary investigation of high medieval subsistence practices in a mediterranean mining district
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes reveal the human paleodiet evolution during the 8th-12th century in the Venetian Lagoon (Italy)
A new approach for the diagnosis of b-thalassemia in archaeological contexts
Evidence of Barbarian migrations and interpersonal violence during the Gothic War in sixth-century Tuscany
NEU-Med project. Two cases of disability in an equestrian context from a 10th century royal court in Tuscany (Italy)
Post mortem fetal extrusion
The mass burials from the western necropolis of the Greek colony of Himera (Sicily) related to the battles of 480 and 409 BCE
Throughout the ancient Greek, world mass burials are rare. Of the 10,000 excavated burials in the western necropolis of the Greek colony of Himera (649-409), only 16 contained more than one individual; seven of these can in all possibility be traced back to the two battles fought by Himera against the Carthaginians in 480 and 409 BCE. Written sources (Diod. 11.20ff.) state that the Himerans, accompanied by numerous Greek allies, defeated the Cart…
The Western (Buonfornello) necropolis (7th to 5th BC) of the Greek colony of Himera (Sicily, Italy)
The Western (Buonfornello) necropolis of Himera, dating from the 7th to 5th century BC, has yielded 10,096 burials, among which are six common burials (n = 2-22). On the basis of the archaeological and historical evidence, these are presumed to be the result of the Battle of Himera, fought in approximately 480 BC, or some other warfare episode taking place in the same period, and it is hypothesised that all the individuals are male. A reliable mo…
Radiological tooth/pulp ratio in canines and individual age estimation in a sample of adult neolithic skeletons from Italy
OBJECTIVES: The estimation of an individual's age at the time of death is one of the most important components in anthropological studies and is the basis for demographic studies on ancients. However, the different methods commonly used in anthropology for adult age estimation at death provide results with a high level of uncertainty. The consequence is the inability to develop demographic studies with a good degree of reliability. A non-destruct…
