The portrait of Márk Baksa
Neuro-ophthalmological pathology in a “Portrait of a Young Woman” from Roman Egypt at the Toledo Museum of Art (USA)
Severe gout and its treatment in an early 18th century Southern German monk
Following the restoration of the crypt of the Attel monastery in Southern Germany, the human remains of 16 out of 40 monks were exhumed and underwent anthropological and palaeopathological investigations. These skeletal remains were of individuals who lived between 1700 and 1750 CE. In some cases, thanks to the documentary sources, it was possible to identify individual monks and partially reconstruct their biographies and lifestyles. This situat…

The discovery of the Salafia handwritten manuscript and formula. Chronological and biological considerations
Alfredo Salafia (1869-1933) was a famous embalmer from Palermo, Sicily. He created an embalming fluid, the «Perfection fluid», which was supposed to leave the corpse perfectly preserved in a «fresh state». Within the remit of the Human Embalming Project© (H.E.P.), we performed referenced historical research on Salafia’s American period. We further identified what appears to be an anomaly in the chronology of the discovery of the Sicilian embalmer…

Mummy Studies
A prehistoric Egyptian mummy
Interdisciplinary scientific investigations utilising chemical analysis, shotgun metagenomics, textile analysis and radiocarbon dating have been applied to the study of an intact prehistoric Egyptian mummy, allowing insights into when this individual lived and died, and the funerary treatments employed in the preparation of the body. Here we present the first evidence for an extant prehistoric mummy that has undergone treatment with notably simil…
The origin and early spread of the Black Death in Italy
Spread by infected galleys coming from Kaffa (Crimea), the Black Death reached Genoa, as it now seems, in the late summer of 1347 AD. Genoa functioned as an epicentre from which the contagion was spread into the mainland through a complex system of routes, which linked Liguria to northern and central Italy. Along these routes various institutions were found, namely 'ospitali' (hospitals) and 'stationes' (stations), where traders and pilgrims stop…
Neurotoxins during the Renaissance. Bioarcheology of Ferrante II of Aragon (1469–1496) and Isabella of Aragon (1470–1524)
We show that statistical modeling of analytical results is useful in providing insights into metabolism and disease in bioarcheology. Our results also imply that during the Renaissance in Europe widespread pollution of the biosphere with heavy metals such as mercury and lead affected the Italian nobility at that time. The activity of biologic clocks which control metabolism and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function can be gleaned from the analy…
Sclerosing Bone Dysplasia from 16 th Century Sardinia (Italy)
The skeletal remains of a male aged 45–55 years displaying several bone anomalies were unearthed from the Alghero (Sardinia) plague cemetery ‘lo Quarter’, a burial site dating back to the 1582–1583 AD outbreak. The skeleton, whose stature is about 165 cm, presents a bilateral hyperostosis with increased diameter of the diaphyses of all the long bones of the upper and lower limbs; the metaphyses appear to be involved, while the epiphyses are spare…
Assessing heavy metal exposure in Renaissance Europe using synchrotron microbeam techniques
A probable case of non-syndromic brachycephaly from 16th century Sardinia (Italy)
Parasitism of the Zweeloo Woman
Eleonora of Toledo (1522–1562)
Black Death in the rural cemetery of Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse Aude-Languedoc, southern France, 14th century
Identification of a chrysocolla amulet in an Early Dynastic child mummy
Plague immunodetection in remains of religious exhumed from burial sites in central France
Immunological evidence of Plasmodium falciparum infection in an Egyptian child mummy from the Early Dynastic Period
Technical note
A rapid diagnostic test (RDT) that detects Yersinia pestis F1 antigen was applied to 28 putative plague victims exhumed from seven burial sites in southeastern France dating to the 16th–18th centuries. Yersinia pestis F1 antigen was detected in 19 of the 28 (67.9%) samples. The 27 samples used as negative controls yielded negative results. Soil samples taken from archeological sites related to both positive and negative samples tested negative fo…
