Blood lines: a social, palaeopathological and biomolecular examination of the impact of thalassaemia in Romano-British Poundbury Camp, Dorset
Poundbury Camp cemetery in Dorset represents the largest collection of individuals living and dying under Roman rule excavated in the UK, with c.1200 individuals cared for in the collection at the Natural History Museum. This project will focus on the reanalysis of over 650 adult individuals from the site. It aims to explore long term issues of health, migration and power over resources in an invaded population. In addition, this innovative project will be the first to apply ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis to explore the evolution of thalassaemia in Britain, at a time when it is believed to have first arrived on these shores.
This project is a collaboration between the 伊人直播app and the Natural History Museum, London.
