Really interesting report on the skeletons from Herculaneum, I think the only place in the Roman empire where so many were found. Great explanation of living conditions. Death by head lice (22% infested); common lung lesions from the particulate matter from organic oil lamps; and for Herculaneum, flourine poisoning.
