Paperback. Condizione: New. The Plague Cemetery of Alghero (Sardinia, Italy, 1582-1583) presents a bioarchaeological analysis of the individuals exhumed from the cemetery of Alghero, which is associated with the plague outbreak that ravaged the city in 1582-1583. This cemetery revealed a particular burial typology, consisting of long and narrow trenches, each containing multiple inhumations, which attests to a catastrophic event, such as an epidemic with high mortality in a short period of time. Given the rarity of human remains from epidemic contexts buried in trenches, the skeletal sample from Alghero represents valuable material. In fact, no other Italian plague cemeteries have been examined through a detailed bioarchaeological analysis, and the study thus serves as a model for future research.The author examines a series of parameters, starting from the demographic profile of the sample -181 individuals from 15 trenches - and taphonomic analysis, and then analysing stature, dental pathologies, stress indicators, degenerative joint disease, entheseal changes and other pathologies. The study is intended to illuminate a cross section of 16th century Sardinian society in a coastal city through a holistic view, which interweaves the documentary evidence for plague, funerary responses and the health status of the population. The main objective is therefore to shed light on a population which lived during a period of plague, revealing lifestyles, activity patterns and illnesses and providing a significant contribution to the bioarchaeology, palaeopathology, and archaeology of the Italian territory.…

Brossura. Condizione: nuovo. Pisa University Press, 2021. 348pp --- La paleopatologia è una scienza giovane che negli ultimi decenni ha ricevuto crescente attenzione in ambito italiano ed internazionale. Gli studiosi della materia possono fare riferimento ad una serie di volumi inglesi di grande spessore, ma fino ad oggi non è stato pubblicato nessun testo di paleopatologia in lingua italiana. Fondamenti di paleopatologia ha dunque lo scopo di colmare questa lacuna, proponendosi come un manuale di studio per studenti e appassionati della materia. Questo lavoro è il risultato dell'insegnamento della Paleopatologia all'Università di Pisa, dove è presente nella programmazione didattica ormai da più di una ventina di anni. Nella trattazione, oltre alla descrizione delle lesioni osteoarcheologiche delle patologie, si è seguito un approccio sia di tipo storico, ricostruendo le origini delle malattie e la loro evoluzione nel corso del tempo, sia di tipo epidemiologico, analizzando la loro frequenza e la distribuzione all'interno dei gruppi umani del passato.…

Questa trattazione sulla storia della medicina comincia dalle testimonianze antico-egizie, e prosegue tracciando le linee fondamentali del suo sviluppo attraverso la civiltà greca, romana, bizantino-araba, il periodo medievale, per arrivare all'età moderna, con la nascita della medicina scientifica, e concludersi con i progressi raggiunti nel corso del XX secolo.
