钉死在十字架上是一种残忍的处决方法。这一死刑是在罗马帝国时期完善的。尽管这是一种常见的做法，但世界上只有一个有充分记录的人类学案例在耶路撒冷墓穴(Giv‘at ha-Mivtar，公元1世纪)被钉死在十字架上。我们在2007年在意大利北部挖掘发现的一具孤立的罗马墓葬的骨架脚下发现了一处特殊的损伤。在这里，我们建议十字架固定可能是损伤的原因，但这种解释因骨骼表面保存不佳以及其他骨骼部分的损伤和孔洞而变得复杂。为了评估死者的生物身份和死前暴力对这一主题的可能影响，我们对遗体进行了综合(人类学、人类学和遗传学)分析。显示出暴力或异常埋葬的证据的埋葬可能会为过去的人类社会提供新的线索。在这种情况下，我们的跨学科方法提供了对一种特定形式的死刑的洞察。
Crucifixion is a cruel method of execution. This capital punishment was perfected during the Roman Empire. Despite being a frequent practice, there is only one well-documented anthropological case of crucifixion in the world at the Jerusalem burial cave (Giv’at ha-Mivtar, first century AD). We found a particular lesion on the foot of a skeleton from an isolated Roman burial discovered by excavation in 2007 in northern Italy. Here we suggest crucifixion as a possible cause of the lesion, but this interpretation is complicated by the poor preservation of the bone surfaces and the damage and holes in other skeletal parts. To assess the biological identity of the deceased and the possible effects of ante-mortem violence on this subject, we performed an integrated (anthropological, taphonomic, and genetic) analysis of the remains. Burials showing evidence of violence or deviant burials may shed new light on past human societies. In this case, our interdisciplinary approach provides insight into a particular form of capital punishment.
