Grave Lessons
This article explores the potential of bioarchaeology—the scientific study of human remains within their archaeological contexts—to enrich historical understanding of Late Antiquity. It advocates for historians to engage with bioarchaeologists and to explore how osteology and biomolecular methods like isotope analysis, beyond paleogenomics, inform us about the past. It begins by critically addressing bioarchaeology’s difficult history and emphasi…

Burial Archaeology and the First Plague Pandemic
Archaeological evidence from funerary contexts is largely ignored in current scholarship on the First Plague Pandemic, despite the important information that burials and cemeteries can provide about how plague might have affected societies. Skeletal (mainly dental) remains are used in the paleogenomic search for victims of plague (Yersinia pestis), but significant contextual information is to be gained from plague-positive graves through bioarcha…
Childhood and Disease Ecology in the Ancient Mediterranean
Nested Environments
The late antique (ca. mid. 5th century CE) infant and child cemetery at Poggio Gramignano near Lugnano in Teverina (Umbria, Italy) is well-known for its association with malaria. However, less is known about the community members most closely connected to this cemetery space–in particular, the the infants' mothers. This paper more closely explores the health of the 62 individuals who have been recovered from the cemetery to date with the goal of …
Negotiating Infant Personhood in Death
The Late Antique (ca. 450 CE) infant cemetery uncovered at Poggio Gramignano near Lugnano in Teverina (Italy) has been interpreted as a catastrophic death assemblage associated with an acute epidemic of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and a resulting episode of increased infant mortality. Previous research has noted the unique mortuary ritual associated with these burials but has not adequately considered the social implications of the nonnormative…
Sex differences in age‐related bone loss and antemortem tooth loss in East‐Central Arizona (AD 1200–1450)
Previous archaeological research on dental health in the New World has documented significant sex differences in antemortem tooth loss (AMTL), with a much higher rate of AMTL in females versus males, particularly during the transition to agriculture. While AMTL can be caused by multiple factors, including periodontal disease, attrition, trauma and cultural influences, sex differences are often attributed to the impact of female reproductive biolo…
