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…
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
The genomic history of southeastern 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 …
