Between land and rivers
This study investigates patterns of mobility and human-animal-environment interactions in the Sumerian city of Abu Tbeirah, located in southern Iraq and dated to the second half of the third millennium BCE. The research represents the first extensive strontium isotope investigation of a population from southern Mesopotamia. It integrates 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios measured on human and animal dental enamel with δ 13 C and δ 18 O data presented in an ear…
Embodied Identities
The use of anthropomorphic ossuaries, so-called ‘canopic urns’, is a burial custom documented during the seventh and sixth centuries BC in the territory of the Etruscan city-state of Clevsi/Clusium, modern Chiusi (Tuscany, Central Italy). This particular type of ossuary represents a human body and serves as an ideal portrait of the deceased after the destructive act of cremation. The necropolis of Tolle, located in the western part of this territ…
Right to replicate? A preliminary comparative experimental approach to the use of replicas in taphonomic analyses using the scanning electron microscope
This paper presents the preliminary results of an experimental project aiming at the optimization of the procedures for observing and identifying archaeological bone modifications by means of microscope analysis.The protocol includes different phases: the first one starts with the experimental production of traces on hard animal tissues (bones, teeth, ivory, antler, etc.) using different kinds of tools made of various materials (flint, obsidian, …
A chicken is good all year round. Seasonality of meat consumption in Renaissance cookbooks
Seasonality studies have a long tradition especially for the Paleolithic and Mesolithic; the aim in these periods is, among the other things, to investigate hunter-gatherer mobility within a territory. When populations started to become sedentary and to breed animals, the meat of domestic animals became, in theory, available all year round, in contrast to plants that necessarily continued to follow seasonal cycles; therefore, investigations focus…
Elite consumption practices in the Early Bronze Age
Neolithic Lifeways at the Microlevel
Characterization of prehistoric lifeways tends to work at the level of generalization, but can we investigate microvariation? For example, it is common to discuss the “Neolithic diet”, but how much did what people ate vary, not only between individuals but from year to year or from place to place? Similarly, discussions of mobility tend to focus either on large‐scale population movements or on lifelong changes in residence, implying that people r…
The Use-Life of Ancestors
When archaeologists discuss ‘ancestor cults’ or ‘ancestor veneration’, what this might entail in practice usually remains vague, leading to charges that the concept of ‘ancestors’ is often applied generically. In this article, the authors combine bioarchaeological, taphonomic, radiocarbon, and isotopic studies to explore the ritual practice of the selective retention, curation, and deposition of a group of human crania and mandibles. Between 5500…
Same place, changing patterns? Animal economy at Gabii (Latium, central Italy) from the Early Iron Age through the Imperial period
Social Dynamics and Resource Management Strategies in Copper Age Italy
Although the amount of data on the Italian Copper Age has increased significantly in the last decades, little is known about the relationship between humans and the environment. Material culture suggests the occurrence of significant social interactions throughout the Italian Peninsula, while the funerary practices indicate that Copper Age groups were strongly rooted in their territories. Here, we attempt to define the relations within Copper Age…
Elite Food Between the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance
The study of plant and animal remains from archaeological sites provides important evidence about past human diets and habits: this includes species selection, food preparation, consumption and disposal practices. Furthermore, such information may also provide inferences about social status. Data from refuse disposal features identified in some elite contexts in central Italy – a high-status residence in Celleno Vecchio (Viterbo) and the Baglioni…
Early Arrival of New World Species Enriching the Biological Assemblage of the Santi Quattro Coronati Complex (Rome, Italy)
This paper reports the archaeobotanical and archaeozoological data from a disposal pit, whose use started after the partial closure of a staircase, and from a mortar surface within a former porch in the Santi Quattro Coronati complex in Rome, Italy. The two contexts were in use in the Early Modern Age, when the complex served as a cardinal seat. The element that distinguishes the Santi Quattro Coronati from other contemporaneous contexts is the p…
