Exploring the effects of weaning age on adult infectious disease mortality among 18th-19th century Italians
2023
Objectives: The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis describes how early childhood stress affects morbidity and mortality later in life. The role of early childhood stress in mortality from infectious disease is understudied. Stressors in early childhood that weaken the immune system may result in increased susceptibility to infectious disease in adulthood. Weaning is one of the earliest potential periods of significant stress in early childhood. This research investigates the effect of weaning after ~6 months of age on cholera mortality among 18th-19th-century Italian populations by determining if earlier breastfeeding cessation is associated with earlier mortalit…

The «Painted» Hypogeum of Crispia Salvia (Marsala-TP) ‒ 2nd Century C.E. Preliminary Anthropological and Archaeological Report of Tomb 3 and Tomb 4
2021
Summary ― The «Painted Hypogeum of Crispia Salvia» is the most important monument of the ancient Punic-Roman necropolis of Lilibeo (today's Marsala). It is the only known paradigmatic example in Sicily of pictorial wall decoration. Iulius Demetrius commissioned the monument in memory of his wife Crispia Salvia, a noblewoman descended from two very important Sicilian families. Here we report on a preliminary anthropological study of Tombs 3 and 4 (Crispia Salvia and Iulius Demetrius). We integrated the historical-cultural context with the osteological data. The results combining laboratory and archaeological research confirm the presence of two high-ranking individuals characterized by condi…
Studio preliminare su composizione e provenienza di ocra dalla sepoltura epigra-vettiana di Grotta d’Oriente A, Favignana (Egadi, Sicilia)
2022
La Grotta d’Oriente, sull’isola di Favignana (Egadi, Sicilia) ha restituito una serie di sepolture e resti umani ascrivibili all’Epigravettiano finale e al Mesolitico. La Sepoltura cosiddetta Oriente A, epigravettiana, è caratterizzata da un corredo fittile consistente in conchiglie e in un ciottolo con tracce di ocra rossa. Da un punto di vista della ricostruzione ar-cheologica e della definizione degli scenari di ecologia preistorica è molto importante la caratterizzazione chimica e la deter-minazione della provenienza di questo pigmento che, com’è noto, caratterizza molti scenari paleolitici. La ricerca presenta i dati preliminari dell’analisi SEM/EDS/EDAX dei pigmenti ocracei prelevati …
Prospezione speleoarcheologica della falesia «Piana di Sopra» a San Vito lo Capo (TP)
2022
The northern coast of Trapani is characteristed by a series of phenomena linked to Quaternary glaciations. These phenomena have modeled esplanades, terraces, cliffs, leaf grooves and caves of great natural beuaty. The extreme strip of the Peninsula of S. Vito lo Capo, the Piana di Sopra, is made up of parareciphal limestones with Orbitoline and Rudist from the Cretaceous. This area has a strong density of cavities of marine origin estimated at four cavities per kilometer. These cavities are an important anthropological testimonly to a continual human presence from deep prehistory onwards. A fundamental prerequisite for a study of the prehistory of an area is its geomorphologic description w…

Less is Home. Antropologie dello spazio domestico
2014
Per due milioni di anni abbiamo vissuto a contatto con il fuori, non nel buio delle grotte, ma in luoghi intermedi tra il chiuso e l’aperto: spalle alla roccia, occhi nella valle. Pochi secoli di civiltà industriale e di urbanesimo soffocante ci hanno abituato a vivere in scatole da scarpe. Tutto l’abitare va ripensato da qui, dalla constatazione che eravamo fatti per praterie e foreste, che ci piaceva e ancora ci piace vivere nell’aperto, che facevamo case temporanee, leggere, che avevamo di meno e immaginavamo di più. Sono le esperienze più estreme, quelle del limite e del lontano, che hanno qualcosa da dire sul fare casa oggi: capanne, bivacchi, tende, rifugi, ripari di fortuna, un’archi…
Chances and Problems of Cultural Anthropological Perspectives in Ancient Studies. Theories – Methods – Case Studies
2020
The Distant Worlds Journal (DWJ) is an online peer-reviewed journal established especially for presenting the research of early-career scholars on the ancient world. Each edition of the DWJ centres on a specific question or topic pertinent to the diverse disciplines engaged in the study of ancient cultures. In our fourth edition, we explore cultural anthropological theories and methods in the ancient studies, both in terms of the opportunities they offer for the study of ancient cultures and the problems they pose when applied.
