 Good morning, and thank Lorna, Leana, and Marianne for this great opportunity. Today I'm going to talk about an ongoing research based on the medieval cemetery of Barriapozzi. With this project, we want to reconstruct and balance the profile, the paradigm and the relationship between Barriapozzi and the style of the medieval population lived near the Via Facigena. The site of Barriapozzi is located in Italy, more precisely in Tostani, between the city of Lucca and Pisa. Luckily, we had a map of the area around the site dated at the 16th century, and here you can see the site that was settled between the Via Facigena and old Pinguin rule between Northern Europe with Rome and the Sesto Lake that had been drained at the time of the monastic process. Here a quick look of the excavation before our analysis and how it is now. The site of Barriapozzi has a millennial history. The first mention was at the middle of the 10th century, in 1103, the monks of the Camaldolese order, a branch of the Benedictine order joined the monastery. Until the first quarter of the 14th century, the monastery was a rich institution with several cultivated fields. In 1325, the battle of Atupato was fought between the armies of Lucca and Florence, and this battle destroyed the area. The headquarters of the Florentine army was inside the monastery. In 1408, the monastery was definitely closed. We have also written records, and thanks to them we know that the monastery of Barriapozzi was a rich institution in several economic activities such as cultivated fields, milling, cattle purging, and the exploitation of water resources from the lake of Sesto. We also know something about the diet of the monks. They had wheat, millet, wine, chestnuts, oil, fish and meat. Here, a plan of design and in red, a report of all the specimens that we sampled. Thanks to such graphic method, we were able to recognize two different periods, one from 11th century to 12th century and the other from 12th century to 13th century. To conduct this project, we analyzed 49 individuals. From 11th century to 13th century, we also sampled fragments from ribs and long bones to reconstruct the phyrodiac through time. We also analyzed animal bones to reconstruct the isotopic baseline. To reconstruct the biological profile, each specimen had been analysed to reconstruct sex, the age of death, the stature, the muscle development and buccalocotological examination. On the site, we were able to recognize three different phyrodiacologies, simple, complex and lithic coughing. As you can see here from the graph, both male and female were recovered in simple and complex values, but only the males from the second period were recovered in lithic coughing. The average age of death tells us that the average age of death on the site was between 30 and 39 years and the females lived longer than males. Looking at the average age, we recognize how males were higher than females, but very interesting is that the males who lived in the first period were 5 cm taller than the males who lived in the second period. This is interesting because stature is dependent on both genetics and diet. Unfortunately, we don't have the same data for the females because the remains were too fragmented to be analysed. From an astrological point of view, the population of Badiapot savory was 1.5 population. Although we recognize several fractures, peristates, caries, but on top of that, we recognize four different lesions healed on four different cranes. Unfortunately, we don't have many evidence of care, but what we have here are probably two wounds made by this war. So probably someone was able to treat this kind of lesion. To reconstruct the pallodi, we extracted collagen following the modified lunges method according to the methodology proposed by Brown et al. in 1988. To obtain our preserved collagen, we added a neutral filtration set preceded by a filtration set made with easy filters. I personally extract the collagen at the Moscow Archaeological Science Laboratory at the University inside a six-month train ship there. To reconstruct the pallodi, we analysed both collagen from humans and animals. The data that I'm going to show you soon came from the well-preserved collagen according to the criteria established by Van Klinken in 1999. To reconstruct the pallodi, we looked at the stable isotope of carbon and nitrogen. With carbon and nitrogen, we can reconstruct the trophic webs of our specimens. With carbon, we are able to reconstruct the consumption of C3 or C4 plants, and with nitrogen, we are able to reconstruct the trophic level of our specimens. Here, the data of our human remains. As you can see, this population had a fluorescent base dye, although in the nearness of a lake. Here, we have a data from freshwater fish that at least had a minor role in their dye. If we look at the nitrogen values, we recognise how our population is one trophic step above the domesticated animals. But what is interesting is that, however, the ownership that we have has nitrogen values close to the human remains. Very interesting are the data from carbon, because the majority of the population have carbon values above millions per million, which means a consumption of C4 plants, or animal-fed with these kinds of plants. Here, we have the data from a chicken, and this animal were fed with C4 plants. Here, we have reported all the isotopic analysis from middle-aged sites from Tuscany. And Balea Potsiaveri is located right there. Now, if we make an exception for the Medici family that had a heavily dyed base on animal consumption, Balea Potsiaveri is the medieval site in Tuscany with the highest values for carbon, which means an high consumption of C4 plants. And according to the written record, probably this signal came from the consumption of millet. And here are conclusions. With this study, which is an ongoing study, we recognize a five-centimeter difference in the stature of the mate from the first period, then the second. In future, we want to perform analysis of strontium and sulfur to detect the presence of non-local people. We also recognize several Trojan legions, and now I have a question. Can we argue the presence of physicians in the area able to treat these kind of legions? As a topic of results, we are not able at this moment to recognize differences through time or through value of quality. But we recognize that Balea Potsiaveri has the highest C4 values in medieval Tuscany. And the interesting thing is that this population doesn't show a water signal although the presence of a lake. I would say thank you to Professor Fornasciari for his help and also to University for funding, and you for your attention.
