AN ATYPICAL MEDIEVAL BURIAL AT THE MONTE DEI CAPPUCCINI MONASTERY IN TORINO (ITALY): A CASE STUDY WITH HIGH-PRECISION RADIOCARBON DATING
In 1989 an ancient burial consisting of a skeleton and a few objects was discovered at the Monte dei Cappuccini Monastery, in Torino (Italy). Anthropological analysis of the skeleton revealed that it belonged to a young man, and the archaeometric characterization of the objects suggested that most o...
