Rare tattoos shape and composition on a South American mummy
Unusual tattoos shape and composition on unpublished mummified South American mummy. • Combination of imaging, chemical-physical analyses and anthropological literature. • Analytical approach demonstrates the presence of magnetite. • Corroboration of the role of museum collection in the analysis of ancient culture. • Multidisciplinary study to broaden the vision of tattoo practice in South America. Tattooing was a widely distributed cultural prac…
Funerary practices in old Kingdom Egypt revealed through a cross-disciplinary study of a mummy with painted bandages from Gebelein (Upper Egypt)
This study provides new data on funerary practices performed during the Old Kingdom at Gebelein (Upper Egypt) through a multidisciplinary analysis of a complete wrapped body with painted face bandages (S16731), which we radiocarbon dated to the 4th dynasty. The painting was revealed by the application of an innovative laser-based cleaning method, which was used to remove the compact layer of dust from the linen bandages. To our knowledge, this is…
Combing through museum collections. A "museomic" application of ZooMS
This article presents the application of Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) to osseous Longobard artifacts from the collection of the "Musei Reali di Torino" (MRT; Torino, Italy). Like most archaeological items made of worked bone/antler in museum collections, the raw material of such specimens is usually attributed to deer, often without accurate taxonomic attribution. Therefore, the main aim of the present investigation was to shed lig…

The supracondylar process in subadult skeletal remains from Northern Italy (15th–18th century A.D)
This paper presents five uncommon examples of the supracondylar process in subadult skeletal remains from archaeological contexts. Human skeletal remains were recovered from the Baptistery of Settimo Vittone (Italy) that date to the 15th–18th centuries. A bony process was noted at the distal end of five immature humeri. The specimens were examined morphologically, and the following measurements were taken: length of the process and distance from …
Body size and social status in medieval Alba (Cuneo), Italy
OBJECTIVES: Previous work by Vercellotti et al. in 2011 found significant status-related differences in body size in males but not in females from the Italian bioarchaeological assemblage of San Michele di Trino (8th-14th centuries CE). The purpose of the present work is twofold: (a) to determine if status-related body size differences could be observed in the nearby collection of San Lorenzo di Alba (7th-15th centuries CE) and (b) to add to the …
Sex- and status-based differences in medieval food preparation and consumption
Spatial diffusion of surnames by long transhumance routes between highland and lowland
The identification of archaeological eggshell using peptide markers
Avian eggshell survives well in alkaline and neutral soils, but its potential as an archaeological resource remains largely unexplored, mainly due to difficulties in its identification. Here we exploit the release of novel bird genomes and, for the first time on eggshell, use MALDI-ToF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight) mass spectrometry in combination with peptide sequencing by LC-MS/MS. The eggshell proteome is reveale…
Subadult dietary variation at Trino Vercellese, Italy, and its relationship to adult diet and mortality
OBJECTIVES: Early-life nutrition is a predisposing factor for later-life outcomes. This study tests the hypothesis that subadults from medieval Trino Vercellese, Italy, who lived to adulthood consumed isotopically different diets compared with subadults who died before reaching adulthood. We have previously used a life history approach, comparing dentine and bone of the same adult individuals ("subadults who lived"), to elucidate dietary variatio…
Exploring the multidimensionality of stature variation in the past through comparisons of archaeological and living populations
Adult stature variation is commonly attributed to differential stress‐levels during development. However, due to selective mortality and heterogeneous frailty, a population's tall stature may be more indicative of high selective pressures than of positive life conditions. This article examines stature in a biocultural context and draws parallels between bioarchaeological and living populations to explore the multidimensionality of stature variati…
Intrapopulation variation in stature and body proportions
The phenotypic expression of adult body size and shape results from synergistic interactions between hereditary factors and environmental conditions experienced during growth. Variation in body size and shape occurs even in genetically relatively homogeneous groups, due to different occurrence, duration, and timing of growth insults. Understanding the causes and patterns of intrapopulation variation can foster meaningful information on early life…
Ostéochondronécroses articulaires
As part of investigations carried out in the Dauphiné region of France during the past few years, ancient human remains discovered in the Church of Puy-Saint-Pierre in Briançon and in the church of La Salle les Alpes, 6-7 km from Briançon (Haute-Alpes), have undergone anthropological and palaeopathological studies.In our studies of the medieval and modern samples, we were able to observe a significant frequency of bone and joint lesions. By their…
