dc.description.abstract | Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of gastro-intestinal parasites in human remains from Late Antiquity (5th – 7th c.) Granada (Spain). Materials: The study included pelvic and cranial control samples from 17 skeletons from the archaeological sites of Los Mondragones (n = 13) and Rafael Guillén (n = 4). Methods: In the paleoparasitological study, soil samples from pelvic area and cranium were analyzed using the rehydration, homogenization, and micro-sieving method and visualization under brightfield microscopy. Results: Ascaris sp. eggs were detected in pelvic samples from seven individuals. Conclusions: These findings may indicate that this parasite was endemic. Its detection frequency is one of the highest reported at group level in an osteological series from Late Antiquity. Significance: The prevalence of Ascaris sp. associated with skeletal remains has implications for assessing the lifestyle and health of populations in southern Spain during the Late Antique period. Limitations: The number of individuals is small and taphonomic processes could have limited paleoparasitological findings Suggestions for further research: Future interdisciplinary studies of this type are warranted in larger osteological series to improve knowledge of parasitosis in the past. | es_ES |
