\n El dimorfismo sexual en los seres humanos se estudia principalmente en la anatom\u00eda de los genitales y mamas y en algunas diferencias en la estatura y rasgos m\u00e9tricos y morfol\u00f3gicos del esqueleto. Su grado var\u00eda entre poblaciones y depende de la composici\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica y de factores culturales y medioambientales. En este estudio se comparan dos poblaciones medievales musulmanas de Granada para comprobar si las diferencias en el entorno (urbano frente a rural) se reflejan en distintos grados de dimorfismo sexual en los huesos largos. Se estudian restos del cementerio urbano de Sahl ben M\u0101lik, y del rural de La Torrecilla. Se han seleccionado 66 individuos adultos del primero y 72 del segundo. Se han medido en cada hueso la longitud m\u00e1xima, per\u00edmetro m\u00ednimo y anchura de las ep\u00edfisis proximal y distal. Se ha calculado el \u00edndice de dimorfismo sexual (ISD) para cada variable y cada poblaci\u00f3n. El grado de dimorfismo sexual es mayor en La Torrecilla. Los resultados indican que las mujeres de los grandes centros urbanos pudieron haber jugado un papel m\u00e1s activo en la vida social y laboral que las de las \u00e1reas rurales y haber disfrutado de mejores condiciones de vida que se manifiestan en desarrollo corporal y disminuci\u00f3n del dimorfismo sexual. Se concluye que el vivir en un entorno urbano o rural puede influir en el grado de dimorfismo sexual.\n <\/p>\n\n \n\n

\n El estudio del registro arqueol\u00f3gico asociado a restos \u00f3seos humanos puede ser una herramienta muy \u00fatil a los historiadores en sus interpretaciones sobre el mundo medieval. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es comparar dos poblaciones medievales procedentes de dos diferentes \u00e1mbitos (rural y urbano) de la provincia de Granada con el fin de observar posibles diferencias en su desarrollo muscular y consecuente estilo de vida a partir de 15 lugares de inserci\u00f3n muscular ligamentosa o tendinosa. La poblaci\u00f3n urbana, de 92 individuos, procede del cementerio de Sahl Ben Malik (Granada) mientras que la poblaci\u00f3n rural, de 91 individuos, pertenece al cementerio de La Torrecilla (Arenas del Rey, Granada). Los resultados muestran como los habitantes de la ciudad presentan mayor desarrollo muscular respeto a los campesinos y eso puede estar relacionado con diferentes patrones de actividad y una mayor especializaci\u00f3n de oficios en la ciudad.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Study of the human remains of King Pedro I of Castile (1334\u20131369), his wife Queen Maria of Padilla (c. 1334\u20131361), and three other members of his family offered the possibility to investigate the diet of an elite in the medieval Iberian Peninsula by analyzing \u03b415<\/sup>N and \u03b413<\/sup>C values in collagen samples of their bones. Two medieval archeological samples were selected for comparative purposes: a Christian sample (n = 5) from Palacios de la Sierra (Burgos), and a Muslim sample (n = 5) from La Torrecilla (Granada). Results obtained were compared with published data on other medieval populations of the Iberian Peninsula with the aim of improving knowledge on the diet of medieval populations, especially elite groups. Differences in the consumption of C3 and C4 plants were observed between Christians and Muslims, as previously reported. \u03b415<\/sup>N values indicated social class differences. The diet of the Royal Family was characterized by mainly C3 plants and an extremely high animal protein intake characteristic of carnivores. These results are consistent with historical data on the life circumstances of this family.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Part of our current diet, are only endemic of reduced areas in South-Europe due to their need of warm climates. Since the first vestiges of agriculture in Europe remains of C 4 plants were recorded but their overall proportion in the human diet remains unknown. Therefore, isotopic (\u03b4 13 C and \u03b4 15 N) composition of bone collagen from the skeletal remains (human and animals) of a Celtic population, Cenomani Gauls, from Verona (3 rd to 1 st century BC) in the NE Italy provide a new perspective on this matter. The \u03b4 13 C collagen values of 90 human skeletal individuals range between \u221220.2\u2030 and \u22129.7\u2030 (V-PDB) with a mean value of \u221215.3\u2030. As present day C 4 plants have \u03b4 13 C values around \u221211\u2030, which is equivalent to \u22129.5\u2030 for samples of preindustrial age, the less negative \u03b4 13 C values in these individuals indicate a diet dominated by C 4 plants. This palaeodietary study indicates that some European populations predominantly consumed cultivated C 4 plants 2100 year B.P. This is supported by the paleobotanical records and ancient Roman sources (e.g. Pliny the Elder), which indicate that millet was a staple food in South-Europe.\n <\/p>\n

\n El presente estudio analiza las patolog\u00edas bucodentales de una poblaci\u00f3n de \u00e9poca nazar\u00ed recuperada durante la intervenci\u00f3n arqueol\u00f3gica realizada en la necr\u00f3polis isl\u00e1mica de Talar\u00e1 (Valle de Lecr\u00edn, Granada) en el a\u00f1o 2002. Los enterramientos fueron localizados en un solar conocido como Mac\u00e1ber, nombre que hace referencia a los cementerios isl\u00e1micos, y datados entre los siglos XIII y XV. La investigaci\u00f3n se inici\u00f3 determinando el n\u00famero m\u00ednimo de individuos (NMI), sexo, edad y las patolog\u00edas mediante el estudio antropol\u00f3gico pertinente. La muestra analizada est\u00e1 compuesta por 70 individuos de ambos sexos y de un rango de edad, desde adulto a senil. El an\u00e1lisis de las patolog\u00edas dentales se realiz\u00f3 considerando la t\u00e9cnica de Lukacs (1989) clasificando las enfermedades dentales en funci\u00f3n de su etiolog\u00eda. Se analizan las lesiones relacionadas con procesos infecciosos, degenerativos, del desarrollo y gen\u00e9ticos que afectan tanto a las piezas dentales como a los soportes \u00f3seos. Se registr\u00f3 la presencia de caries, p\u00e9rdidas ante mortem, quistes radiculares, periodontitis, sarro, desgaste e hipoplasia del esmalte. En resumen, la finalidad de nuestro an\u00e1lisis es estudiar los principales problemas de salud dental de esta poblaci\u00f3n nazar\u00ed castellana y las implicaciones que dichas patolog\u00edas pudieron tener en la calidad de vida de los individuos. \n <\/p>\n

\n We studied an osteological sample from the pre-Roman\/Celtic necropolis of Seminario Vescovile of Verona (Italy), dated to the 3rd to 1st century BCE and attributed to the Cenomani Gauls population. The sample is mostly composed of well-preserved infants in their first months and years of life. In this study we combined isotopic (\u03b415<\/sup>N and \u03b413<\/sup>C) and anthropological evidence with the aim of investigating infant feeding practices in non-adult samples. 36 non-adults were selected and divided into seven age phases. The isotopic composition of their rib bone collagen was determined and related to the mean values of adults (n = 54) and animals (n = 7). \u03b415<\/sup>N values ranged between 7.1\u2030 and 12.9\u2030 (AIR), with a mean of 10.2\u2030 (\u00b1 1.5\u2030), while \u03b413<\/sup>C values ranged between \u2212 20.2\u2030 and \u2212 9.7\u2030 (V-PDB), with a mean of \u2212 15.3\u2030 (\u00b1 2.5\u2030). These results indicate the initiation of transitional feeding around six months. Significantly high \u03b415<\/sup>N values in some infants up to two years old suggests prolonged breast-milk consumption. In comparison with the \u03b415<\/sup>N and \u03b413<\/sup>C data from the adult females (n = 21), considered as potential mothers, these infants clearly show the effect of breastfeeding on trophic level (\u03b415<\/sup>N enriched between 1.8 and 3.3\u2030).\n <\/p>\n

\n A medieval osteological sample (n = 20) from the isolated rural community of San Baudelio de Berlanga (Soria, N-Spain) was studied using paleopathological and stable isotope analyses. The necropolis was initially dated by archeologists between the XI and XII centuries AD and contains 57 individuals. The main objective of this study was to investigate the diet and the chronology of these individuals to improve the understanding not only of the diet but also of the population dynamics in an isolated rural site. The isotopic composition of their rib bone collagen was determined. \u03b415<\/sup>N values ranged between 9.3\u2030 and 11.5\u2030, with a mean of 10.3 + 0.5\u2030 (AIR), while \u03b413<\/sup>C values ranged between \u221217.6\u2030 and \u221219.0\u2030 with a mean of \u221218.2 + 0.4\u2030 (V-PDB). Radiocarbon results dated the individuals to between the XI and mid-XIII century. The stable isotopic results suggest a mixed terrestrial diet dominated by C3 cereals but including also animal products (e.g. meat and dairy products). Isotopic differences between sexes may be related more closely to social (patrilineal pattern of pairing) and biodemographical (lower female life expectancy) factors than dietary gender differences.\n <\/p>\n

El n\u00famero de individuos exhumados asciende a 182, aunque solo se ha podido asignar edad y sexo a 125 de ellos. El n\u00famero de individuos infantiles y juveniles es reducido, lo que proporciona un \u00edndice de juventud muy bajo. Entre los adultos los resultados sobre la mortalidad son los propios de una poblaci\u00f3n rural medieval que vivi\u00f3 bajo duras condiciones de vida, sobre todo las mujeres. La mayor\u00eda de enterramientos de adultos sugiere una poblaci\u00f3n con una aparente baja fertilidad.\n <\/p>\n

\n Gender differentiation can influence the diet, physical activity, and health of human populations. Multifaceted approaches are therefore necessary when exploring the biological consequences of gender-related social norms in the past. Here, we explore the links between diet, physiological stress, physical activity, and gender differentiation in the Medieval Islamic population of La Torrecilla (Granada, Spain, 13th\u201315th century AD), by analyzing stable isotope patterns, stature, and long bone diaphyseal measurements.\n <\/p>\n

\n The introduction of sugarcane in Europe by the Arabs in the 10th century AD brought about a drastic change in gastronomy and oral health. In Southern Spain (Al-Andalus), sugarcane was mainly consumed by the elite, although its consumption became relatively widespread during the Nasrid Kingdom. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of the introduction of sugar on human diet and oral health by comparing patterns of caries in deciduous teeth between nonadult skeletal samples from two Nasrid populations (La Torrecilla and Talar\u00e1) and a comparative set representing various Iberian populations without access to sugarcane (from Bronze to Medieval Ages). We analyzed 770 teeth from 115 nonadults divided into three groups: infants under 2 years of age, nonadults presenting only deciduous teeth, and nonadults presenting mixed deciduous and permanent dentition. The frequency of caries is high in the Nasrid individuals and very low in the comparative sample. This finding is in agreement with contemporaneous written sources on the utilization of sugarcane in the diet and as a pacifier for infants during weaning. Differences in the frequency of caries between the Nasrid samples (higher in Talar\u00e1) are likely related to the socioeconomic differences between these populations.\n <\/p>\n

\n Se comparan dos poblaciones burgalesas medievales con cementerios excavados en roca: Palacios de la Sierra (siglos IX-XIII), n\u00facleo con econom\u00eda basada principalmente en ganader\u00eda y explotaci\u00f3n maderera en un entorno fr\u00edo y monta\u00f1oso, y Santa Mar\u00eda de Tejuela (siglos VIII-XI), con econom\u00eda fundamentalmente agr\u00edcola en una planicie y clima m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido. La hip\u00f3tesis del estudio es que deber\u00edan existir diferencias en su dieta. Se han analizado los is\u00f3topos estables de C y N de 101 individuos y la patolog\u00eda m\u00e1xilo-dentaria de 79. Palacios de la Sierra, muestra una dieta con un elevado consumo de prote\u00ednas animales, superior al de Santa Mar\u00eda de Tejuela, y menor patolog\u00eda dental en general. Las diferencias son estad\u00edsticamente significativas entre ambos sexos en Palacios, donde destaca un elevado consumo de prote\u00ednas animales y una menor tasa de patolog\u00eda dental entre las mujeres.

\n El estudio de la patolog\u00eda dental constituye una clave de acceso al conocimiento de la dieta y modos de vida de poblaciones del pasado. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar frecuencias de patolog\u00eda dental en la poblaci\u00f3n medieval de Granada para incrementar el conocimiento sobre su dieta. Se ha registrado la presencia de caries, p\u00e9rdidas de piezas en vida y el total de lesiones en un total de 135 individuos de 20 a 60 a\u00f1os de edad. Las mujeres son quienes presentan peor salud oral, no solo por factores vinculados con el embarazo y la maternidad, sino principalmente- por consumir una dieta m\u00e1s cariog\u00e9nica. Los resultados obtenidos, aunque con porcentajes m\u00e1s bajos de los de otras poblaciones medievales de la Pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e9rica, no difieren de los presentes a nivel europeo, lo que sugiere que el az\u00facar de ca\u00f1a, cultivado en al-Andalus, no se utiliz\u00f3 en las cantidades en las que fue consumido posteriormente.\n <\/p>\n

\n The identification of a calcified hydatid cyst in the bioarcheological record is key to the diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (i.e., hydatid disease), a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. This zoonosis can be linked to human\u2013canid interactions, given the reproductive cycle of the parasite (from canids to herbivores\/humans as intermediate hosts), and it is commonly associated with agropastoral communities in both the past and present. However, it is not easy to identify a calcified hydatid cyst in the archeological record because of preservation problems and its similarity with other calcifications of biological and geological origin. We report the presence of two fragmented ovoidal calcified formations associated with human remains in different medieval Islamic cemeteries from the Kingdom of Granada in al-Andalus (Southern Iberia, 13th\u201315th centuries AD). These formations were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The localization, morphology, and composition of the calcifications indicate that they are hydatid cysts caused by E. granulosus, representing the first evidence of cystic echinococcosis in Islamic Medieval Europe. Our results are in line with archeological and historical records of human\u2013animal interactions and agropastoral practices in al-Andalus, and they highlight the importance of analyzing calcified masses in the osteoarcheological record.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula is a period of special interest for studying the relationship of climate change with historical and socioeconomic processes. Between the 8th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup> centuries AD, the Peninsula was characterized not only by complex political, cultural, and social transitions but also by major variations in the climate. The objective of this study was to examine differences in diet and mobility between distinct populations of the Peninsula and explore the possible relationship of diet, mobility, and culture with environmental variables and geographical settings. For this purpose, we obtained stable isotopic ratios of carbon and oxygen (\u03b413<\/sup>C and \u03b418<\/sup>O) from the enamel apatite of first upper incisors from 145 individuals at eight archeological sites that represent both Christian and Islamic communities and both rural and urban social settings. Results revealed a dietary difference between Christian and Islamic populations, observing a greater contribution of C4<\/sup> plants, possibly sorghum, in the diet of the latter, especially in a rural setting. The disparity in oxygen isotopic ratios between populations from the North and South of the Peninsula is consistent with modern climatic differences between these regions. In this line, intraregional variability in oxygen isotopic ratios may hint at diachronic occupation phases under varying climatic conditions. The few isotopic outliers in our sample suggest overall low mobility levels.\n <\/p>\n

\n The aim of this study was to compare the level of bone mass in digital orthopantomograms in two populations (medieval and current) using two radiomorphometric indexes, and to correlate the mandibular bone mass value, in the medieval mandible population, with stable isotope data \u03b413C and \u03b415N. An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study on mandibles from two diachronic groups, 15 mandibles from the medieval settlement of La Torrecilla (Granada, Spain) and 15 mandibles from current patients at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Granada (Spain), matched by age and sex was conducted. The bone mass density was determined using the Mandibular Cortical Width Index (MCW) and the Mandibular Panoramic Index (PMI) in digital panoramic radiographs. In the medieval group, the values of bone mass density were correlated with those of two stable isotopes (\u03b413C and \u03b415N). The mean value of MCW in mm in the medieval group was 3.96\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60 (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009standard deviation) and in the current group was 4.02\u2009\u00b1\u20091.01. The PMI was 0.33\u2009\u00b1\u20090.06 and 0.35\u2009\u00b1\u20090.08 in the medieval and current groups respectively, with similar results in both groups (p\u2009=\u20090.820 and p\u2009=\u20090.575). A negative correlation was found between both morphometric indices and the \u03b415N isotope (rs\u2009=\u20090.56, p\u2009=\u20090.030 and rs\u2009=\u20090.61, p\u2009=\u20090.016, respectively). The bone mass density in mandibles belonging to the two compared populations, determined by two quantitative radiomorphometric indices, is similar. Within the medieval population, there is an inverse correlation between the \u03b415N value and bone mass density.\n <\/p>\n

\n El cementerio isl\u00e1mico de La Torrecilla fue hallado en el a\u00f1o 1968 cuando se realizaban tareas de documentaci\u00f3n de la necr\u00f3polis dolm\u00e9nica situada en esa zona por D. Antonio Arribas Palau y su equipo del Departamento de Prehistoria de la Facultad de Filosof\u00eda y Letras de la Universidad de Granada. A ra\u00edz del hallazgo de estos primeros enterramientos se sucedieron varias intervenciones arqueol\u00f3gicas que finalizar\u00edan, tras cuatro campa\u00f1as, en el a\u00f1o 1976. En este trabajo intentaremos sistematizar las tipolog\u00edas descritas, as\u00ed como establecer la cronolog\u00eda de la maqbara a trav\u00e9s de los estudios radiocarb\u00f3nicos realizados.\n <\/p>\n
