The use and abuse of cinnabar in Late Neolithic and Copper Age Iberia
Emslie, Steven D.; Silva, Ana Maria; Valera, António; Vijande Vila, Eduardo; Melo, Linda; Curate, Francisco; Fidalgo, Daniel; Inácio, NunoIn this study, total mercury (THg) was analyzed in archaeological human bone from 23 sites dating to between the Middle Neolithic and the Antiquity. A total of 370 individuals from individual or collective burials was sampled, mostly using cortical bone from the humerus. These individuals were recovered from over 50 different funerary structures ranging from tholoi, pits, caves, and hypogea. Although cinnabar (...

Coxa magna and severe osteoarthrosis in an adult male from the Bronze Age necro...
Fidalgo, Daniel; Silva, Ana MariaA middle-age adult male from the Bronze Age necropolis Torre Velha 3 (Serpa, Portugal) shows an enlarged right femoral head (coxa magna) with severe osteoarthrosis, and compatible changes on the right acetabulum. Using macroscopic and X-ray analysis, we discuss its possible aetiology as Legg-Calvé-Perthes, slipped femoral capital epiphysis, congenital hip dislocation, osteomyelitis or trauma. The results were i...
The population genomics of archaeological transition in west Iberia: Investigat...
Martiniano, Rui; Cassidy, Lara M.; Ó'Maoldúin, Ros; McLaughlin, Russell; Silva, Nuno; Manco, Licínio; Fidalgo, Daniel; Pereira, Tânia; Coelho, Maria J.We analyse new genomic data (0.05-2.95x) from 14 ancient individuals from Portugal distributed from the Middle Neolithic (4200-3500 BC) to the Middle Bronze Age (1740-1430 BC) and impute genomewide diploid genotypes in these together with published ancient Eurasians. While discontinuity is evident in the transition to agriculture across the region, sensitive haplotype-based analyses suggest a significant degree...
