Neanderthal had a “crush” on fats. Macronutrient estimation in Middle Paleolithic (Late Mousterian) hunter-gatherers of southern Italy
During the Late Mousterian period Apulia (southeastern Italy) was characterized by frequent and prolonged aridity that could have caused the scarcity of vegetable foods and, consequently, a lack of important nutritional compounds. Zooarchaeological studies from several Mousterian contexts show that Apulian Neanderthals may have responded to this crisis by increasing the exploitation of ungulates. In particular, bone grease rendering was likely on…
An integrated archaeological and anthropological approach to investigating human sacrifice among Etruscans
Analisi di resti scheletrici umani da siti risalenti al tardo Neolitico e all'età del Rame della provincia di Bergamo
Human osteological remains from Late Neolithic and Copper Age sites in the province of Bergamo were examined and reviewed. These derive from caves in the municipalities of Zogno (Buca del Tabàc, Grotta Pussù, Buca del Paier), Entratico (Buca del Corno) and from rock shelters in the municipality of Castione della Presolana (Val Merci - Prat de la Furca). A picture of funerary rites diversified into secondary caves deposition, with high minimum num…
Combined metagenomic and archaeobotanical analyses on human dental calculus
Multidisciplinary analyses on ancient dental calculus revealed the possibility to reconstruct habits and diet of ancient human populations, investigate individual health status, as well as provide information on past environments. In the present study we applied both metagenomic and microscopic analysis on ancient human dental calculus in order to obtain a cross-section of the life conditions in a population of central Italy belonging to the Copp…

Equine exploitation at Pompeii (AD 79)
Reconstruction of the human peopling of Europe
Despite the long-lasting and interdisciplinary work carried out by different research fields, such as archaeology, history, linguistics, genetics, palaeoanthropology, molecular anthropology, and more recently, palaeogenomics, the reconstruction of the human peopling of Europe is still a highly debated topic. The present issue– composed of review articles and research papers– is largely devoted to discussing and enlarging our current knowledge on …
More data on ancient human mitogenome variability in Italy
Regional genetic continuity is highlighted in the Gravettian groups that succeeded in Paglicci. Data from one of the oldest human remains from Sicily reinforce the hypothesis that Epigravettian groups carrying U2'3'4'7'8'9 could be the first inhabitants of the island. The first pre-Neolithic mitogenome from North-Western Italy, sequenced here, shows more affinity with continental Europe than with the Italian peninsula
Combined methodologies for gaining much information from ancient dental calculus
Evaluation of Diammonium hydrogen phosphate and Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles for consolidation of ancient bones
Microcomputed tomography and genetic analysis of a rare case of Caffey's disease in a 5–7‐month‐old girl
Ancient human remains provided precious information about the health and disease of individuals from the past. Usually, diagnosis and assessment of the paleopathological remains were performed using RX analysis, tomography, and histology. However, thanks to the progress in ancient DNA recovery and sequencing, genetic information can used to support the diagnoses performed using classical approach. Here, we described the paleopathological remains …
A multidisciplinary study of calcaneal trauma in Roman Italy
The genomic history of southeastern Europe
The Beaker phenomenon and the genomic transformation of northwest Europe
The female ancestor's tale
OBJECTIVES: With the advent of ancient DNA analyses, it has been possible to disentangle the contribution of ancient populations to the genetic pool of the modern inhabitants of many regions. Reconstructing the maternal ancestry has often highlighted genetic continuity over several millennia, but almost always in isolated areas. Here we analyze North-western Tuscany, a region that was a corridor of exchanges between Central Italy and the Western …

Stable Carbon Isotope Evidence for Neolithic and Bronze Age Crop Water Management in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia
In a large study on early crop water management, stable carbon isotope discrimination was determined for 275 charred grain samples from nine archaeological sites, dating primarily to the Neolithic and Bronze Age, from the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. This has revealed that wheat (Triticum spp.) was regularly grown in wetter conditions than barley (Hordeum sp.), indicating systematic preferential treatment of wheat that may reflect a cu…
Mitochondrial DNA Suggests a Western Eurasian Origin for Ancient (Proto-) Bulgarians
Ancient (proto-) Bulgarians have long been thought of as a Turkic population. However, evidence found in the past three decades shows that this is not the case. Until now, this evidence has not included ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis. To fill this void, we collected human remains from the 8th to the 10th century AD located in three necropolises in Bulgaria: Nojarevo (Silistra region) and Monastery of Mostich (Shumen region), both in n…

Ancient DNA Reveals Matrilineal Continuity in Present-Day Poland over the Last Two Millennia
While numerous ancient human DNA datasets from across Europe have been published till date, modern-day Poland in particular, remains uninvestigated. Besides application in the reconstruction of continent-wide human history, data from this region would also contribute towards our understanding of the history of the Slavs, whose origin is hypothesized to be in East or Central Europe. Here, we present the first population-scale ancient human DNA stu…

Genetic evidence does not support an etruscan origin in Anatolia
The debate on the origins of Etruscans, documented in central Italy between the eighth century BC and the first century AD, dates back to antiquity. Herodotus described them as a group of immigrants from Lydia, in Western Anatolia, whereas for Dionysius of Halicarnassus they were an indigenous population. Dionysius' view is shared by most modern archeologists, but the observation of similarities between the (modern) mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) of…
Evidence for a genetic discontinuity between Neandertals and 24,000-year-old anatomically modern Europeans
During the late Pleistocene, early anatomically modern humans coexisted in Europe with the anatomically archaic Neandertals for some thousand years. Under the recent variants of the multiregional model of human evolution, modern and archaic forms were different but related populations within a single evolving species, and both have contributed to the gene pool of current humans. Conversely, the Out-of-Africa model considers the transition between…
