Tuberculosis is one of most ancient diseases affecting human populations. Although numerous studies have tried to detect pathogenic DNA in skeletons, the successful identification tuberculosis strains remains rare. Here, we describe a study 140 subjects inhumed Yakutia (Eastern Siberia) during outbreak, dating from 16th–19th century. For long time, Yakut populations had remained isolated European populations, and it was not until beginning 17th century that first contacts were made with...
<title>Abstract</title> We explore how rural communities contributed to the foundation of Egyptian society through their beliefs. The study cemetery Adaima and its 504 funerary structures in Upper Egypt (3300–2700 BCE) reveals progressive ritual variability from First Third Dynasty. By Dynasty, a correspondence emerges between heliacal rising Sirius, summer solstice, Nile’s inundation, marking pivotal shift religious practices. central authority used this celestial conjunction transform...
We document for the first time diet of a privileged French population from Brittany, region that was center battles between Kingdoms England and France until end fifteenth century. present here results stable isotope analyses carbon, nitrogen, sulfur human animal bone tooth collagen late medieval to early modern Breton population. The isotopic values observed Dominican convent Rennes, are very similar those reported archaeological populations in Great Britain, namely they have enriched δ15N...
The evolution of funeral practices from the Middle Ages through Modern era in Europe is generally seen as a process secularization. study, imaging and autopsy, two mummies, five lead urns containing hearts, more than six hundred skeletons nobles clergymen Renaissance convent Brittany has led us to reject this view. In addition exceptional embalming, we observed instances which hearts alone had been extracted, phenomenon that never before described, brains well, each spouse's heart placed on...
Mass graves are usually key historical markers with strong incentive for archeological investigations. The identification of individuals buried in mass has long benefitted from traditional historical, archaeological, anthropological and paleopathological techniques. addition novel methods including genetic, genomic isotopic geochemistry have renewed interest solving unidentified graves. In this study, we demonstrate that the combined use these techniques allows found two Breton graves, where...
Abstract Seventeen years of archaeological and anthropological expeditions in North-Eastern Siberia (in the Sakha Republic, Yakutia) have permitted genetic analysis 150 ancient (15th-19th century) 510 modern individuals. Almost all males were successfully analysed (Y-STR) this allowed us to identify paternal lineages their geographical expansion through time. This data was confronted with mythological, historical material evidence establish sequence events that built Yakut diversity. We show...
Longtemps abordés sous le seul angle de la recherche historique, les épisodes épidémiques du passé ont fait l’objet, depuis une vingtaine d’années, d’une attention croissante dans disciplines archéologiques lato sensu. Toutefois, malgré multiplication des fouilles témoins sépulcraux ces crises mortalité, peu d’études se sont réellement attachées à caractériser spécificités devenir morts par épidémie. En outre, dernières souffrent généralement l’hétérogénéité contextes chronologiques et pris...
(1) Background: contact between indigenous and European populations has often resulted in changes oral health attributed to the introduction of sucrose. Most studies are per tooth over considerable periods with few ethnological references. (2) Aim: dental epidemiology 96 autochthonous frozen bodies from Yakutia early 17th century late 19th century; comparisons historical texts ethnographic data. (3) Material methods: we use descriptive statistics discriminant factorial analyses identify...
40 frozen yakutian graves, from the 17th to 19th century allow reconstitution of clothes. At end century, new fashions are emerging with ostentatious use imported goods and influences Russian noble circles Chinese and/or Mongol Buriat fashions. The garment does not only seem be any more an element protection against cold a utilitarian object but becomes way marking so-cialization individual.
The origin of this article lies in the discovery two Early Bronze Age graves to south Toulouse (Canségala, Le Vernet, Haute-Garonne). Since excavation (2005), some colleagues have informed us other discoveries, which it seemed interesting integrate and set context. Individual period remain very rare Languedoc burials jars were previously unknown. first grave at Canségala was that an adult, probably a woman. burial jar, concerns infant, placed distance about 8 metres. infant had been inserted...
Distribution, cultural and chronological attribution of frozen graves Yakutia between the beginning 17th end 19th century. The funerary rites artefacts allow to differentiate four chrono-cultural periods (before 1700 AD, from 1750 1800 AD after AD) which could be associated with historical events: opening trading post Nertchinsk, expansion Kangalasky clan, economic collapse, generalization Christianization.
