On the Fragility of Burnt Osteological Fragments
The analysis of burnt osteological fragments from archaeological and forensic contexts is a challenging area of research due to the fragmentary and often incomplete nature of these remains. Conservation and preservation are ongoing issues, since the thermally altered bones could exhibit a different degree of fragility in comparison to those that have not undergone such a process. The aim of the research was twofold: first, to demonstrate the leve…
Reliability of Species Assessment of Archaeological Cremated Bone Fragments
The ancient practice of cremation has been documented across numerous cultures, yet burnt remains can indeed become a huge challenge for anthropologists, both in archaeological and in forensic contexts. The analysis of such skeletal material presents significant challenges associated with the alterations caused by the process of burning. A salient issue in studying cremated remains pertains to the challenge of distinguishing human remains from th…
Metastatic cancer in antiquity
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate lesions noted on a 3rd-4th century individual and to contribute to our understanding of cancer in antiquity. MATERIALS: Skeletal remains of a single individual recovered from the "Necropolis of the Cattolica", Milan, Italy. METHODS: Macroscopic analysis, along with computed tomography and conventional radiography were employed to investigate lesions. Differential diagnosis was undertaken to assist with the diagnosis. RESULT…
Mercury poisoning in two patients with tertiary syphilis from the Ca’ Granda hospital (17th‐century Milan)
Syphilis was a widespread infectious disease in 17th‐century Italy, commonly treated with mercury‐based ointments and fumigations. Few reports exist on the analysis of abnormally high Hg levels in bone as a result of exposure to mercury‐containing anti‐syphilitic medicine. In this research, two crania recovered among the 2.9 million commingled bones resting under the crypt of the former hospital of the poor of Milan were submitted to pathological…
