Published data on palaeopathology are limited from the area of Serbia. This paper provides evidence for infectious disease in 1617 skeletons from eight Medieval Serbian cemeteries. Two hundred and three individuals were analysed by the first author a... Read More about Palaeopathological evidence of infectious disease in skeletal populations from later medieval Serbia.

Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis (2001)
Journal Article
Gernaey, A., Minnikin, D., Copley, M., Dixon, R., Middleton, J., & Roberts, C. (2001). Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, 81(4), 259-265. https://doi.org/10.1054/tube.2001.0295

Setting: The underlying trends in the past epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) are obscure, requiring recourse to the archaeological record. It would therefore be of value to develop methods for reliable TB diagnosis in ancient populations. Objective:... Read More about Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis.
