Late Holocene Maize Diversity and Cultural Remains from the Northern Neotropics
In the northern neotropics, given poor preservation of macro-fossils and funding/research biases, our understanding of ancient cultures’ dynamics is limited. Here, we document the botanical and cultural remains at an early ceramic archaeological site, Cueva La Capilla, northeast of the Venezuelan Andes, which contains funerary remains linked to the Tocuyanoid ceramic tradition, as well as maize rachises. We employ a multidisciplinary approach to …
Neanderthal had a “crush” on fats. Macronutrient estimation in Middle Paleolithic (Late Mousterian) hunter-gatherers of southern Italy
During the Late Mousterian period Apulia (southeastern Italy) was characterized by frequent and prolonged aridity that could have caused the scarcity of vegetable foods and, consequently, a lack of important nutritional compounds. Zooarchaeological studies from several Mousterian contexts show that Apulian Neanderthals may have responded to this crisis by increasing the exploitation of ungulates. In particular, bone grease rendering was likely on…
An integrated archaeological and anthropological approach to investigating human sacrifice among Etruscans
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…
Paleogenetic analysis and radiocarbon dating on skeletal remains from the Roman necropolis of Contrada Diana (Lipari Island, Sicily)
Equine exploitation at Pompeii (AD 79)
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
Microcomputed tomography and genetic analysis of a rare case of Caffey's disease in a 5–7‐month‐old girl
Ancient human remains provided precious information about the health and disease of individuals from the past. Usually, diagnosis and assessment of the paleopathological remains were performed using RX analysis, tomography, and histology. However, thanks to the progress in ancient DNA recovery and sequencing, genetic information can used to support the diagnoses performed using classical approach. Here, we described the paleopathological remains …
