A new methodology to estimate flat foot in skeletal remains – the example of Mediterranean collections
has been well-studied in clinical literature and paleoanthropology but has not been approached extensively in bioarchaeology. The main difficulty is related to the diagnosis of this pathology based exclusively on bone remains. In this work, we propose a metric and morphological method to discriminate flat foot in dry bones. Thus, we studied 390 pairs of adult feet in a fair state of preservation from archaeological contexts from Spain, Italy, and…
Bioarchaeology-related studies in the Arabian Gulf
Archaeological studies provide a powerful tool to understand the prehistoric societies, especially when combined to cutting-edge morphological and molecular anthropological analyses, allowing reconstructing past population dynamics, admixture events, and socio-cultural changes. Despite the advances achieved in the last decades by archaeological studies worldwide, several regions of the World have been spared from this scientific improvement due t…
Craniofacial reconstruction of Raphael Sanzio from Urbino
Paleogenetic evidence of a Pyrenean Neolithic family
Food at the heart of the Empire
This paper aims to provide a broad diet reconstruction for people buried in archaeologically defined contexts in Rome (first to third centuries CE), in order to combine archaeological and biological evidence focusing on dietary preferences in Imperial Rome. A sample of 214 human bones recovered from 6 funerary contexts was selected for carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. The baseline for the terrestrial protein component of the diet was …
The edge of the Empire
This paper aims to define the dietary profile of the population of early medieval Rome (fifth-eleventh centuries CE) by carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. This period was characterized by deep changes in the city's economic, demographic, and social patterns, probably affecting its inhabitants' nutritional habits. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of bone collagen was used to detect the nutritional profile of 110 humans from si…
Castrum Novum (Santa Marinella, prov. de Rome)
Introduction S. Nardi Combescure, Gr. Poccardi La campagne qui s’est tenue du 2 au 30 septembre 2018 a vu la poursuite des opérations commencées sur les secteurs de la colonie romaine en 2015 : enceinte médio-républicaine, habitat, zone extra-muros. Toutefois, pour des raisons d’inaccessibilité au terrain, le chantier du petit édifice théâtral n’a pas pu reprendre. En parallèle, l’étude de la stratigraphie côtière a été marquée en particulier par…
Eneolithic subsistence economy in Central Italy
Mitochondrial variability in the Mediterranean area
CONTEXT: The Mediterranean area has always played a significant role in human dispersal due to the large number of migratory events contributing to shape the cultural features and the genetic pool of its populations. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to review and diachronically describe the mitogenome variability in the Mediterranean population and the main demic diffusions that occurred in this area over time. METHODS: Frequency distributions of the l…
Mitochondrial characterisation of two Spanish populations from the Vera and Bejar valleys (Central Spain)
This survey reports the mitochondrial data of two Spanish populations living in the Vera and Bejar valleys, on the opposite slopes of the Sierra de Gredos (Central Spain), which crosses Spain east to west. The aim of the study was to characterise the mitochondrial genetic pool of the Vera and Bejar populations to investigate a putative mitogenetic differentiation between them, evidence that would support the role of the Sierra de Gredos as a gene…
Linking between genetic structure and geographical distance
Background The correlation between genetics and geographical distance has already been examined through the study of the dispersion of human populations, especially in terms of uniparental genetic markers. Aim The present work characterises, at the level of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), two new samples of Amhara and Oromo populations from Ethiopia to evaluate the possible pattern of distribution for mtDNA variation and to test the hypothesis of …
Grapevine carpological remains revealed the existence of a Neolithic domesticated Vitis vinifera L. specimen containing ancient DNA partially preserved in modern ecotypes
Methodological strategies to assess the degree of bone preservation for ancient DNA studies
Evaluation of the bone preservation state may be an efficient step to predict the presence of DNA in ancient samples prior to aDNA analysis
Stable isotope analysis of Late Upper Palaeolithic human and faunal remains from Grotta del Romito (Cosenza), Italy
Population differences in allele frequencies at the OLR1 locus may suggest geographic disparities in cardiovascular risk events
The results confirm significant genetic structuring among populations and suggest a possible basis for varying susceptibility to CVD among groups correlated with the geographical location of populations linked with the migrations out of Africa, or with different lifestyle
Human mitochondrial DNA variation in Southern Italy
The mtDNA analysis demonstrated that Southern Italy displays a typical pattern of Mediterranean basin variability, even though it appears plausible that Southern Italy was less affected by the effects of the Late Glacial Maximum, which reduced genetic diversity in Europe
Beringian Standstill and Spread of Native American Founders
Native Americans derive from a small number of Asian founders who likely arrived to the Americas via Beringia. However, additional details about the initial colonization of the Americas remain unclear. To investigate the pioneering phase in the Americas we analyzed a total of 623 complete mtDNAs from the Americas and Asia, including 20 new complete mtDNAs from the Americas and seven from Asia. This sequence data was used to direct high-resolution…
Confirmation of the Potential Usefulness of Two Human Beta Globin Pseudogene Markers to Estimate Gene Flows to and from Sub-Saharan Africans
Two polymorphic sites, -107 and -100 with respect to the "cap" site of the human beta globin pseudogene, recently discovered in our laboratory, turned out to have an ethnically complementary distribution. The first site is polymorphic in Europeans, North Africans, Indians (Hindu), and Oriental Asians, and monomorphic in sub-Saharan Africans. Conversely, the second site is polymorphic in sub-Saharan African populations and monomorphic in the afore…
Biodemoraphy and genetics of the Berba of Benin
Genetic structure of the Berba of Benin was studied on the basis of biodemographic data and ABO, RH, MNS, KEL, JK, FY, ACP1, ADA, AK1, CA2, ESD, GLO1, G6PD, PGD, PGM1 (subtypes and thermostability), PGM2, PGP, SODA, HB alpha, HB beta, HB delta, BF, C3, and HP gene frequencies. Comparisons were carried out with other populations of Benin and of sub-Saharan Africa. Correspondence analysis revealed genetic differentiation among the three main groups…
Genetic relationships among the Native American populations
Red cell antigen data were used to investigate the genetic relationship among the Native American populations and their affinities with Siberian and Eastern Asian populations. Correspondence analysis showed a clear subdivision of all the Native American populations into three clear-cut clusters corresponding to the three linguistic families (identified by Greenberg)--Amerind, Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut. This result, as well as the close genetic res…
