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…
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…
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 …
Peopling dynamics in the Mediterranean area between 45 and 39 ky ago
Backdating systematic shell ornament making in Europe to 45,000 years ago
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 …
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…
