We present the results of a multi-disciplinary investigation on a deciduous human tooth (Pradis 1), recently recovered from the Epigravettian layers of the Grotte di Pradis archaeological site (Northeastern Italian Prealps). Pradis 1 is an exfoliated deciduous molar (Rdm2), lost during life by an 11–12-year-old child. A direct radiocarbon date provided an age of 13,088–12,897 cal BP (95% probability, IntCal20). Amelogenin peptides extracted from tooth enamel and analysed through LC–MS/MS indicate that Pradis 1 likely belonged to a male. Time-resolved 87Sr/86Sr analyses by laser ablation mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICPMS), combined with dental histology, were able to resolve his movements during the first year of life (i.e. the enamel mineralization interval). Specifically, the Sr isotope ratio of the tooth enamel differs from the local baseline value, suggesting that the child likely spent his first year of life far from Grotte di Pradis. Sr isotopes are also suggestive of a cyclical/seasonal mobility pattern exploited by the Epigravettian human group. The exploitation of Grotte di Pradis on a seasonal, i.e. summer, basis is also indicated by the faunal spectra. Indeed, the nearly 100% occurrence of marmot remains in the entire archaeozoological collection indicates the use of Pradis as a specialized marmot hunting or butchering site. This work represents the first direct assessment of sub-annual movements observed in an Epigravettian hunter-gatherer group from Northern Italy.
The grave offerings and the traces of ritual actions should prove a valuable source for speculation about views on death in antiquity. In the Classical necropolis of Medma the main features of grave’s goods reflect socio-religious believes about death and after death not completely explained yet. In this research suggestions could derive from the analysis of the vegetal charred offers discovered in some burials; they’re figs, olive stones, grapes, almond and, pheraphs, nuts laid inside the tombs, in most cases primary cremations, or in isolated cases above them. Their presence also in religious contexts like sanctuaries suggests ritual and votive actions more than luxury demonstrating, conclusion drawn from the analysis of the terracotta offers too. In Greek tradition the fruits considered are related to the meanings of civilisation, prosperity, wealth and nature renovation and for this holy to nether deities associated to burial rituals.
Massinissa, der "Zivilisator Numidiens", zwischen literarischen "topoi" und archäologischem Befund
(2022)
Die reichen Fossilienlagerstätten im Norden Malawis haben Spuren des ältesten Menschen preisgegeben – nach fast zehn Jahren der Suche. Die Geschichte des aufsehenerregenden Funds, welche Rolle Schweinezähne dabei gespielt haben,und wie es zu einem Museum in der Malawischen Provinz kam, berichten die Paläontologen Friedemann Schrenk und Ottmar Kullmer.
Die Nok-Kultur: Weltbekannt sind ihre Terrakotta-Skulpturen, die zur ältesten figurativen Kunst Afrikas gehören. Aber wie lebten ihre Schöpfer? Wie sah der Alltag der Menschen aus und wie ernährten sie sich? Das haben Forscherinnen und Forscher der GoetheUniversität in einem DFG-Projekt in Zentralnigeria zwölf Jahre lang untersucht. Unter der Leitung des Archäologen Prof. Peter Breunig und der Archäobotanikerin Prof. Katharina Neumann förderten sie in Kooperation mit Chemikern aus Bristol Erstaunliches zutage.
Tiere im imperialen Diskurs : die Human-Animal Studies als Unterrichtsparadigma für das antike Rom
(2022)
Steffensen combines human-animal studies with the concept of new political history to explore innovative perspectives for teaching Roman history. He thus provides a framework that allows students to further their understanding of the political dimensions of historical consciousness and to enhance their orientation competency. Students learn to recognize and analyze power structures and relationships in historical and contemporary societies. According to Steffensen, HAS is of utmost significance for the initiation of this process. Animals played important roles in political decision-making processes in ancient Rome, and animals were meaning-making figures in governance discourses. Focusing on the practical and semantic functions of animals in the context of divination and the discourse of decadence, this essay shows that HAS can serve as a starting point for teaching in a way that addresses the formation and utilization of empire. However, Steffensen does not only seek to promote students' understanding of political processes in the past but also hopes to motivate students to assess modern-day politics.
