Acta Palaeomedica. ​International Journal of Palaeomedicine. Issue 2/2021

Descrizione

In this issue we celebrate traditional osteological methods in papers addressing deviant burials and post-mortem mutilation as well as evidence of autoptic practices, respectively from Tuscany and Spain, a comprehensive analysis of malaria in Ancient Egypt, and congenital spine anomalies in prehistoric Sicily. This set of papers is corroborated by additional contributions from Australia and Germany presenting bioarchaeological findings in South Australia and the importance of plaster casts in German collections.
