Biological history of an Italian prehistoric community and the population of the central Italy during the 1 millennium BCE.

Understanding the population of Central Italy during the 1 millennium BCE is a crucial topic in the biological history of the Mediterranean basin. This period saw the emergence of the Etruscan and Roman cultures which had a significant impact on the bio-cultural history of the region. In this study, we analyse a prehistoric population from Caracupa (Iron Age, Latium, Central Italy).
