Invasive Preservation Practices and Bioarchaeological Study in Two Blessed Nuns from Fourteenth-Century Central Italy
This study examines two rare cases of artificial mummification of Augustinian cloistered nuns, Blessed Illuminata (†1320) and Blessed Chiarella (†1345), who were venerated in Montefalco, Umbria (central Italy). Despite their differing roles, one as a lay sister and the other as an abbess, their bodies have long been venerated and exhibited together in the Church of Saint Agostino. Following their canonical recognition in 2021, a bioarcheological …
Markers of tuberculous infection in 17th-century Lucca (central Italy)
Analysis of an Early Neolithic Modified Human Tooth from Isorella, Cascina Bocche (Brescia, Northern Italy)
Identification of Italian Renaissance noble women through a bioarchaeological study of skeletal remains
century Paolo Guinigi ruled Lucca for nearly 30 years (1400-1429), providing a long period of wealth and peace to the city. In those years of power Paolo Guinigi married four women from different countries. This study is aimed at identifying the three skeletons of Paolo's wives found in the Guinigi Chapel. The three skeletons were identified using a multidisciplinary approach, by integrating historical, archaeological, anthropological, and isotop…
Multiple osteomata from medieval Tuscany, Italy (ca. 10th–12th AD)
Autoptic practices in 16th–18th century Florence
An investigation of Etruscan cremations by Computed Tomography (CT)
The cremation urn is a tiny archaeological site of its own, with finds, features, stratification and structure. The old prescription was to take the pot apart, or slice it, and micro-excavate with inevitable damage and loss. Here is a new methodology - the application of a CT scan as used in medicine. The authors evaluate the results on 35 Etruscan cremations, finding that CT not only provides an excellent guide for micro-excavation, but allows t…
Nonalimentary tooth use in prehistory
Signs of nonalimentary tooth use were observed on the dentition of an adult male from a single burial excavated in an area close to the Uan Muhuggiag rock shelter (Tadrart Acacus, Libya), dated to more than 7800 uncalibrated years BP, that represents the most ancient human remain found in the Libyan Sahara, and provides a first glimpse of human adaptation in the early Holocene of this region. The wear pattern shows large grooves running across th…
