Stable isotopic evidence for diet at the Imperial Roman coastal site of Velia (1st and 2nd Centuries AD) in Southern Italy
Here we report on a stable isotope palaeodietary study of a Imperial Roman population interred near the port of Velia in Southern Italy during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses were performed on collagen extracted from 117 adult humans as well as a range of fauna to reconstruct individual dietary histories. For the majority of individuals, we found that stable isotope data were consistent with a diet high i…
Porotic hyperostosis as a marker of health and nutritional conditions during childhood: Studies at the transition between imperial rome and the early middle ages
Porotic hyperostosis, characterized by small and localized perforations on the surface of cranial bones, is considered a good indicator for assessing the health and nutritional status of past human populations. The most widely accepted theory at present indicates that anemias, either acquired or of genetic origin, are responsible for the bony lesions described as porotic hyperostosis. In this paper, the prevalence of these lesions in two skeletal…
Discontinuity of life conditions at the transition from the Roman imperial age to the early middle ages: Example from central Italy evaluated by pathological dento-alveolar lesions
Teeth are highly informative in the study of past human populations. In particular, the occurrence of lesions in the masticatory apparatus relates diseases, diet, and living conditions. The dental pathology of three skeletal samples from the north-central part of Latium (central Italy) is reported. Two of them belong to the Roman Imperial Age (1st-3rd century AD): the first (including 942 permanent teeth and 1,085 tooth sockets) represents the ru…
Intra‐ and interobserver concordance in scoring Harris lines: A test on bone sections and radiographs
Little attention has been devoted to assessing the reproducibility of (paleo)pathological observations. Harris lines (HL) are among the markers most used to determine chronology of stresses suffered during growth. Nevertheless, their scoring entails remarkable methodological difficulty. Bone sections (S) and radiographs (R) of 29 adult tibiae of archeological provenance (medieval) were scored for HL by five observers. At regular intervals of time…
Paleodemography and selective funerary practices at Latium Vetus, Middle-Tyrrhenian Italy
The early Iron Age necropolis of Osteria dell'Osa (Latium Vetus, Middle-Tyrrhenian Italy, 9th to 7th cent. BC) constitutes an example of culturally induced biasses affecting both the sex and age-at-death structure of a large human skeletal sample (545 individuals). The direction of the biasses points to their unicausality within the archaelogical context. Paleodemographic analyses depict a population whose infant and mature-senile mortality estim…
