Dental Non-Metric Traits in Human Skeletons of 16th-17th Centuries Discovered at Vovidenia Church From Iași City (Romania) Human Skeletons of 16th-17th Centuries Discovered at Vovidenia Church From Ia…
Diet-related dental wear in archaeological human populations of Chalcolithic and Bronze Age from North-Eastern Romania
< 0.001). Moreover, the multiple regression analysis involving the dentine exposure and the three variables that could influence the dental wear (i.e., age, occlusal area, and period) revealed no differences in dental wear between Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, as well as between different cultures of Bronze Age (i.e., Monteoru Culture and Noua Culture). Therefore, apart from age, occlusal area, and period, there may be other factors including diet…
Geometric morphometrics of the second molar teeth within the human population from the late medieval city of Iași, Romania
Although variability and sexual dimorphism (SD) have been intensively studied as regards molar size, patterns of SD on molar shape are not an equally approached topic. Therefore, this study uses size and shape variables of the second permanent molar (M2) from two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics to assess intrasample variability and shape patterns in SD within a human group from the late medieval city of Iași in Romania. Our findings are parti…
A bolt from the blue: Investigations of a singular Bronze Age grave from the Chalcolithic site Ruginoasa (north-eastern Romania)
The article presents the context and multiple investigations of an unexpected discovery, made during the 2020 excavations, from the Ruginoasa-Dealul Ruginii Chalcolithic site in north-eastern Romania. The site, known before our research (aerial photography, geomagnetic survey, test trenches) only for its visible traces of WW2, belongs to the Cucuteni culture, phase A, and consists of five rows of burned dwellings and several pits. The surprise, a…
Archaeological human hair in a burial context: Microscopical evaluation of samples from Iași, Romania (18th–19th centuries)
Owing to its resistance to degradation, hair is an important bio‐sample with unique properties used to study post mortem decompositional changes. The present paper is a microscopical approach to preserved human scalp hair discovered at the 18th–19th‐century archaeological site of Iași, Romania. The hair fibre alterations were assessed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, image analysis and hair histological scores. External alt…
Dental microwear as a diet indicator in the seventeenth-century human population from Iasi City, Romania
The dental microwear analysis (DMA) focuses on diet reconstructions, being able to provide proxy indicators of some events regarding technological shifts in food processing and social hierarchy and differences between individuals. Although DMA approaches diet characterization in ancient times, medieval samples have received limited attention, especially in Eastern Europe. The aim of this article is to explore, identify, and describe within-group …
