Human skeletal remains from the Middle Bronze Age cemetery of Sant'Abbondio (Pompeii, Italy)

In this work, the human skeletal remains from the Middle Bronze Age cemetery of Sant'Abbondio (Pompeii, Naples, Southern Italy) are studied. They represent so far the only Middle Bronze Age human paleobiological evidence from Campania. The skeletal assemblage reveals to be homogeneous in its skeletal and dental features. The comparison with other known contexts is offered to insert the population in the archaeological and anthropological framework known for this moment of prehistory. New and partially innovative data emerging from the study of Sant'Abbondio population contribute to an improved understanding of Bronze Age Italy.
