    Open AccessAnna Maria De Marinis, Marco MassetiARTICLEArchaeofauna2025

    We conducted an analysis in April 2000 on a sample of osteological remains (258 cranial bones and teeth and 15 fragments of plastrons) of non-volant vertebrates recovered from the Roman site of Vicus Augustanus (1st century A.D. - 4th century A.D.) within the area of the extant presidential preserve of Castelporziano (Rome). Domestic mammals (96%) represent most of the identified remains (n=242). Among wild vertebrates we determined the presence …

  • The Late Pleistocene and Holocene chamois in central-southern Italy

    Open AccessMarco Masseti, Leonardo SalariARTICLEArchaeofauna2012References: 8

    Comparisons of a morphological, eco-ethological and palaeontological nature conducted several decades ago enabled the recognition of two distinct species of chamois: the Alpine chamois, Rupicapra rupicapra, and that of the Pyrenees, Rupicapra pyrenaica, which has survived up to the present in Italy only within the boundaries of the Abruzzo National Park in the variety of the subspecies Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata. However, at a distance of more th…

Anthropozoologica 44(2): 7-34.This paper is aimed at verifying the significance of the zoomorphic images represented in the 12th century picture of the Genoard, the "earthly paradise", of Palermo (Sicily) contained in an illumination in the Liber ad honorem Augusti by Pietro da Eboli, 12th century A.D. (Berne, Burgerbibliothek, Codex 120). Based on analyses of the…

  • Ancient DNA, pig domestication, and the spread of the Neolithic into Europe

    Open AccessGreger Larson, U Albarella et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2007

    The Neolithic Revolution began 11,000 years ago in the Near East and preceded a westward migration into Europe of distinctive cultural groups and their agricultural economies, including domesticated animals and plants. Despite decades of research, no consensus has emerged about the extent of admixture between the indigenous and exotic populations or the degree to which the appearance of specific components of the “Neolithic cultural package” in E…

Species still occurring on the island, such as cormorants, mallards, cuckoos, owls, hoopoes, and swallows, as well as exotic taxa such as partridges and possible domestic forms such as pigeons, were the subject of a…
