Fernández-Martínez, Paula; Maurer, Anne-France; Jiménez-Morillo, Nicasio T.; Botella, Miguel; Lopez, Belen; Barrocas-Dias, CristinaThe aim of this study is to examine the diet, using bone stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N), of a Late Roman population (4th–7th centuries CE) from the Roman villa of Mondragones (Granada, Spain). This archaeological site presents an exceptionally high number (n = 121) of well-preserved skeletal remains (adults and non-adults), giving the opportunity to study for the first time the nutritional and health c...
Fetal age at death estimation on dry bone: testing the applicability of equatio...
Carneiro, Cristiana; Curate, Francisco; Alemán, Inmaculada; Botella, Miguel; Cunha, EugéniaThe paucity of identified skeletal collections that include fetuses entails the need to pursue unconventional approaches and resources in order to investigate fetal anatomical variation. Radiographic analyses are being considered as a good alternative to data obtained in osteological collections. In a previous work, we developed equations to estimate gestational age (GA) at death by measuring fetal long bones o...
