Deciphering Diets and Lifestyles of Prehistoric Humans through Paleoparasitology: A Review by Rosana A. Wiscovitch-Russo, Tasha M. Santiago-Rodriguez, Gary A. Toranzos

“…Paleoparasitology is increasingly being recognized as an interdisciplinary field within paleopathology that integrates areas such as palynology, archaeobotany, and zooarchaeology. Paleoparasitology also incorporates techniques such as microscopy, immunoassays, PCR, targeted sequencing, and more recently, high-throughput sequencing or shotgun metagenomics to understand ancient parasitic infections and thus interpret migration and evolution patterns, as well as dietary habits and lifestyles. …”

Infantile scurvy as a consequence of agricultural intensification in the 1st millennium BCE Etruria Campana by Rachele Simonit, Ségolène Maudet, Valentina Giuffra, Giulia Riccomi

“…The lifeways and foodways of the Etruscans, the greatest civilization in western Europe before Roman hegemony, are traditionally inferred from secondary written sources, funerary archaeology, archaeobotany, and zooarchaeology. However, no direct data extrapolated from the study of human skeletal remains are available to evaluate the extent to which agricultural intensification and decreased dietary diversity impacted health and the expression of skeletal indicators of metabolic disease. …”

Draft to a methodology of translation of zoological terms in the biblical texts shown on an example of certain species of mammals (Mammalia) by Anna Maria Wajda

“…In this case another branch of zoology, called zooarchaeology, can be helpful. Translation of zoological terms can be facilitated also by referring to structurally related to them words, used in other Semitic languages – Akkadic, Ugaritic, and Arabic, in which similar-sounding names of animals survived. …”

Morphological Differences between Sheep and Goat Calcanea Using Two-Dimensional Geometric Morphometrics by Lluís Lloveras, Carme Rissech, Simon Davis, Pere M. Parés-Casanova

“…The distinction between bones of sheep and bones of goats is a difficult issue in zooarchaeology. Several studies undertaken in the past to facilitate this task have relied upon both qualitative criteria and osteometry. …”
