No full textThe impasto pottery found in the Recent Bronze Age levels of Punta di Zambrone (Vibo Valentia) is investigated by combining macroscopic and petrographic analyses. Structural remains of clay architecture, baking plates, cooking stands and pottery wasters are considered for comparison and as local reference material. This integrated approach allows for a wide perspective embracing various steps of the chaîne opératoire. Clear differences in the supply, paste preparation, finishing and firing procedures have been recognised between open and closed shapes, due to functional aspects and distinct manufacturing traditions. Open shapes with simple profiles could be used in connection with fire, as in the case of a vegetal-tempered bowl with use-wear typical fo

Anthropometric history and the measurement of wellbeing. Vienna Yearbook of Population Research|Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2021|
No full textIt has often been recognised that the average height of a population is influencedby the economic, social and environmental conditions in which it finds itself, andthis insight has inspired a generation of historians to use anthropometric data toinvestigate the health and wellbeing of past populations. This paper reviews someof the main developments in the field, and assesses the extent to which heightremains a viable measure of historical wellbeing. It explores a number of differentissues, including the nature of human growth; the impact of variations in diet andexposure to disease; the role of ethnicity; the relationships between height, mortalityand labour productivity; and the “social value” of human stature. It concludes that,despite certain caveats, height has retained its capacity to act as a “mirror” of theconditions of past societies, and of the wellbeing of their members

No full textMoulages – wax sculptures of pathologically altered body parts – were a popular teaching aidin dermatological training in the first half of the 20th century. In view of the threatening situationin a world highly armed with poisonous gas, it was an obvious step to include this establishedobject of training before and during the Second World War in military medical training onwarfare agent injuries. The work focuses on the twelve warfare agent moulages of the Departmentof Dermatology at the University Hospital Würzburg, their production circumstances andlater usage in the Medical Academy of the Air Force (Ärztliche Akademie der Luftwaffe) inWürzburg are to be investigated. The cooperation between the successful Mouleur Fritz Kolbowand the Wehrmacht toxicologist Otto Muntsch is of particular importance for the production ofthe warfare agent moulages. The comparison with other warfare agent moulages in the German-speakingarea as well as an illumination of the teaching possibilities offered by warfare agentmoulages due to continued use of warfare agents nowadays are further perspectives of thisproject
