Las exploraciones arqueológicas de 1930 en los túmulos de "La Mata" (Campanario, Badajoz)

2014

Before systematic excavation made between 1990-2002, the building Protohistoric of "La Mata" (Campanario, Badajoz) was a great mound of land known in the area with the expressive name place "Monton de Tierra Grande", to differentiate it from "Monton de Tierra Chico," a funerary monument and located almost 1 km Southeast of the first one. Both mounds were explored in early 1930 by Virgilio Viniegra Vera and John White Gallardo. These actions, although known, were insufficiently valued in our study of "La Mata" published in 2004 because this documentation wasn’t known to us. Recently we recovered a number of articles and news in the newspapers Correo Extremeno and Sol, that allowed to us to k…

The ius liberorum of non-Roman citizens in Egypt. Some notes on an old Taubenschlag’s hypothesis

2019

Abstract Normally the ius liberorum is associated with Roman citizens, but in the lex Irnitana we have evidence of non-Roman members of the curial class of Baetica who took advantage of this privilege. In Roman Egypt, the constitution of the boulai in the nome capitals could have provided a similar context for the selection of local elites in which Romanized Egyptians obtained that privilege.

The color of mourning in Rome

2012

El negro es el color del luto en la antigua Roma. La presencia de personas con vestidos blancos en los funerales debe ser interpretada como una exhibición del status jurídico de los asistentes al acto y no como una manifestación del luto. Black is the color of mourning in ancient Rome. The presence of people in white dresses in the funerals must be interpreted as an exhibition of the legal status of the participants in the act and not as a manifestation of the mourning.

HISPANIC HOARDS FROM ALVARELHOS TO TOMARES: A HISTORICAL REVIEW

2020

With this contribution we would like offer a first and brief approximation about the Hispanic Coin Hoards, roughly dated between the reigns of Augustus and the end of the Tetrarchy. We will focus solely on the imperial hoards found in the Iberian Peninsula. In a chained, diachronic and casuistic way, we offer an analysis according to a series of variables: historical events, archaeological context, pattern of hoarding and functionality. For the data collection, in the present chapter we do not intend to be exhaustive. We will cite the most outstanding examples of Hispanic-Roman Hoarding, in order to understanding the historical-economic evolution from Iberian Peninsula.With this contributio…

Marks and Epigraphs on Iberian Amphorae. II

2015

Se presenta la segunda parte del repertorio de marcas y epígrafes sobre ánforas ibéricas, con la intención de completar un fenómeno heredero del mundo púnico. Se pretende ir acotando el/los posible/s significado/s de tales marcas, su distribución territorial y su marco cronológico. Las marcas incisas son, en esta ocasión, más numerosas que las impresas y se ha detectado una nueva técnica postcocción (con pintura y carbón) restringida al noreste peninsular. This paper is the second part of the repertoire of marks and epigraphs on Iberian amphorae. The goal is to complete this work, which is related to the Punic world, and know the possible meanings of such marks, their geographical distribut…

mtDNA analysis of the human remains buried in the sarcophagus of Federico II

2005

Abstract The sarcophagus containing the remains of Federico II, located in the Cathedral of Palermo (Sicily, Italy), was opened on 1998 to perform a multidisciplinary survey [1]. Next to the remains of Federico II and in close contact with them were laying two other skeletons belonging, according to historical records, to Pietro II di Aragona and to an anonymous person (“The Third Individual”), probably a woman. The bones appeared severely deteriorated. Chemical analysis performed on bone samples excluded that the bodies underwent some kind of embalming process. The analysis of mtDNA from bone samples taken from the three skeletons was successful in only one of the two labs involved. The HV…

Nutrition-related health problems in a wealthy 17-18th century German community in Jelgava, Latvia.

2012

The aim of this research is to assess the presence of stress in a high status German population from Jelgava, Latvia. The skeletal material used in this study came from a recently excavated church cemetery, with most of the burials dating to the 17-18th centuries. In total, 108 individuals (80 adults and 28 non-adults) were analysed for evidence of scurvy, rickets/osteomalacia and anaemia. The presence of scurvy and healed rickets/osteomalacia could not be confirmed in any adult individual. Among non-adults, a possible diagnosis of scurvy was considered in six individuals, and active rickets was suggested in two others. Cribra orbitalia in adult and non-adult individuals also argued for the…
