Mobility patterns in the Lombard-period communities of Vicenne and Morrione (Campochiaro, Italy; 7th c. Ce)
Background: The cemeteries of Vicenne and Morrione (7th c. CE; Campochiaro, Molise) represent a key Lombard-period funerary complex in southern Italy. Their archaeological record, particularly contextual horse-horseman burials with riding equipment, indicates strong links with Pannonian Avar contexts and suggests a non-local origin of this group. Lombard chronicler Paul the Deacon reports the arrival, in the 7th century, of a group of foreigners …
Exploring dental macrowear in a Sambaqui population from Encosta da Lagoa (southern Brazil)
Walking through the landscape
Strontium isotope analyses ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) represent a fundamental tool for reconstructing human mobility in the past. However, interpretations based on comparisons between the isotopic values of mineralised tissues and local baselines – reducing mobility to a simple “local” versus “non-local” dichotomy – may result in over-simplified views of complex phenomena. In fact, such an approach may blur the complexity of human movement and the non-linea…
She was not spared
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to document and contextualize cranial trauma attributable to interpersonal violence in one Langobard individual from the Ferrovia necropolis in Cividale del Friuli (NE Italy). MATERIALS: The study examines one human skeleton: a middle-aged female dated between 590 and 630 CE. METHODS: Osteological and palaeopathological analyses were conducted to assess trauma, age-at-death, and activity-related markers. Sex estimation …
Tracing herding strategies in the Samarkand Oasis
The archaeological complex of Kafir Kala is one of the most important sites in the Samarkand oasis, strategically located just a few miles from the main city and along the major junction of the Silk Road. After more than twenty years of systematic archaeological investigation, the importance of Kafir Kala as a nodal point within the broader Eurasian connection network was recognised by its inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023 as pa…
A short and sickly life. Multi-indicator analysis of an infant from a late antique Italian burial site (Piano della Civita, Artena, 3rd-5th cent CE)
Reconstructing life history and ancestry from poorly preserved skeletal remains
The poor preservation of archaeological skeletal remains, particularly those of infants, can result in partial representations of populations and significantly limit our understanding of the development and life of their infant segment. This study investigates the potential of combining dental histology, high spatial resolution biogeochemistry, radiocarbon dating, palaeoproteomic and ancient DNA (aDNA) analyses alongside traditional osteological …
Strontium isotopes and cremation
Calcined bones are a reliable substrate for the preservation of strontium isotopes. • 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values suggest different mobility pattern and origin of some individuals. • Isotope analysis improves the estimation of the minimum number of individuals. • Grave goods enhance the understanding of mobility patterns. Cremation was a very common ritual in ancient Roman funerary traditions. However, the study of cremated human remains has always been …
NOthing goes to WAste (Nowa)
Advancements in archaeological sciences through innovative scientific techniques applied to ancient human remains have increasingly been transforming the study of the past. Destructive analyses of bioarchaeological or palaeontological specimens such as dental histology, isotopic or elemental analysis of dental mineralised tissues, 14C dating, proteomic analysis or ancient DNA are increasingly being applied to obtain ever more refined past life hi…
Hunting game
In this study we present the results of the archaeozoological and taphonomic analysis of the macromammal assemblage from the Uluzzian levels of three Italian sites: Uluzzo C Rock Shelter, Roccia San Sebastiano cave, and Riparo del Broion. Our archaeozoological data outlined several common elements and differences between sites sharing this culture. The most abundant taxon registered at Roccia San Sebastiano cave is Cervus elaphus; for Riparo del …
Exploring prenatal and neonatal life history through dental histology in infants from the Phoenician necropolis of Motya (7th–6th century BCE)
Histomorphometry of deciduous teeth from the Phoenician Motya (Sicily, Italy) • Sex of the infants has been assessed through proteomic analysis of dental enamel. • Stillborn presence excluded by the presence of the birth marker in all the teeth. • Stress markers in prenatal life inversely correlate with individuals’ survivorship. • Enamel growth rates are at the lower limit of the known variability. The biological life history of infants from arc…
A multi analytical characterization of a small bronze figurine from Gran Carro site (Bolsena Lake, Italy)
This paper presents the results of an archaeometric analysis carried out on an early Iron Age anthropomorphic figurine discovered in the area of the Gran Carro on Bolsena Lake (Latium, Italy) site, currently interpreted as a place of worship. This statuette is considered a unicum, both because of the context in which it was found and because of its stylistic characteristics similar to those of bronzes from the Nuragic civilization (Sardinia, Ital…

Exploring late Paleolithic and Mesolithic diet in the Eastern Alpine region of Italy through multiple proxies
Objectives The analysis of prehistoric human dietary habits is key for understanding the effects of paleoenvironmental changes on the evolution of cultural and social human behaviors. In this study, we compare results from zooarchaeological, stable isotope and dental calculus analyses as well as lower second molar macrowear patterns to gain a broader understanding of the diet of three individuals who lived between the end of the Late Pleistocene …
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
Sex-related morbidity and mortality in non-adult individuals from the Early Medieval site of Valdaro (Italy)
Peopling dynamics in the Mediterranean area between 45 and 39 ky ago
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge about the millennial scale climate variability characterizing Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) in S-Europe and the Mediterranean area and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. The sequence of Dansgaard-Oeschger events, as recorded by Greenland ice cores and recognizable in isotope profiles from speleothems and high-resolution palaeoecological records, led to dramatic variations in glacier extent…
Refining the Uluzzian through a new lithic assemblage from Roccia San Sebastiano (Mondragone, southern Italy)
Backdating systematic shell ornament making in Europe to 45,000 years ago
Between the hammerstone and the anvil
A late Neanderthal tooth from northeastern Italy
Accurate Sr isotope determination of human bone and tooth samples by LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS
The in‐situ Sr isotope determination of low‐Sr bioapatites is challenging and requires monitoring several interferences, among others, Ar‐CaPO. In particular, the analysis of human bones and teeth has revealed several pitfalls, which affect the ability to obtain accurate results. In this commentary, I review the data from the paper of Meijer et al. (2019), trying to address some accuracy issues arising, in my opinion, from polyatomic interference…

C 4 ‐Plant Foraging in Northern Italy
Human osteological samples ( n = 23) taken from different anatomical parts of 11 individuals from the early modern (16th–18th century AD) site of Roccapelago (Modena, Italy) were systematically analysed for δ 13 C, δ 15 N and trace elements to investigate their diet. δ 13 C and δ 15 N correlate and show a high variability between individuals, attesting to the dietary contribution of C 4 plants. This is supported by pollen analysis of the burial s…

Transhumance pastoralism of Roccapelago (Modena, Italy) early‐modern individuals
Objectives In this work, we use Sr isotopes to analyze human hair and determine short‐term movements of a contemporary human traveler and of early‐modern individuals from an archaeological site (Roccapelago, Modena, Italy, 16th–18th century). Materials and methods Analyses were performed using a Neptune MC–ICP–MS. We first set up and tested the procedure on scalp hair of a contemporary human, who spent some time between Brazil and Italy. We then …
P-XRF analysis of multi-period Impasto and Cooking Pot wares from the excavations at Stromboli-San Vincenzo, Aeolian Islands, Italy
This exploratory study focuses on the elemental analysis by p-XRF (portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analyser) of 62 samples of coarse wares, consisting of Bronze Age handmade burnished ware, so-called Impasto, and of Cooking ware (dated from the Roman period to Modern times). All wares originate from the site of San Vincenzo, Stromboli, and Aeolian Islands. The question addressed here is whether it is possible to differentiate between local (Aeolian) …
