🎤 Now Nicoletta Zedda et al. are presenting: "Beyond Childbirth: Rethinking Parturition Scars in Archaeological Italian Populations".
@nicolettaz.bsky.social
This study re‑evaluates the significance of birth scars by analysing pelvic morphology, body size and scar expression in 120 individuals from northern Italy (Bronze Age–1800 AD). Only some scar patterns relate to female sex, outlining a promising method to study childbirth. Nicoletta Zedda is a postdoctoral researcher from @unife.it working at @antropolab_ferrara. A biological and molecular anthropologist, she studies frailty and physiological stress in ancient individuals.
