2. DNA Testing on 2,000-Year-Old Bones in Italy Reveal East Asian Ancestry
ScienceDaily (Feb. 2, 2010) — Researchers excavating an ancient Roman cemetery made a surprising discovery they extracted ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from one of the skeletons buried at the site: the 2,000-year-c bones revealed a maternal East Asian ancestry.
The results will be presented at the Roman Archeology Conference at Oxford, England, in March, and published Journal of Roman Archaeology.
According to Tracy Prowse, assistant professor of Anthropology, and the lead author on the study, the isotopic evidence indicates that about 20% of the sample analyzed to-date was not born in the area around Vagnari. The mtDNA is another line of evidence that indicates at least one individual was of East Asian descent.
"These preliminary isotopic and mtDNA data provide tantalizing evidence that some of the people who lived and at Vagnari were foreigners, and that they may have come to Vagnari from beyond the borders of the Roman Emp says Prowse. "This research addresses broader issues relating to globalization, human mobility, identity, and dive in Roman Italy."
Based on her work in the region, she thinks the East Asian man, who lived sometime between the first to second centuries AD -- the early Roman Empire -- was a slave or worker on the site. His surviving grave goods consist o single pot (which archaeologists used to date the burial). What's more, his burial was disturbed in antiquity and someone was buried on top of him.
Prowse's team cannot say how recently he, or his ancestors, left East Asia: he could have made the journey alone, his East Asian genes might have come from a distant maternal ancestor. However, the oxygen isotope evidence indicates that he was definitely not born in Italy and likely came here from elsewhere in the Roman Empire.
During this era, Vagnari was an Imperial estate owned by the emperor in Rome and controlled by a local administrator. Workers were employed in industrial activities on the site, including iron smelting and tile product These tiles were used for roofing buildings on the site and were also used as grave covers for the people buried in cemetery. Fragmentary tiles found in and around Vagnari are marked "Gratus Caesaris," which translates into "sli the emperor."
In addition to the mystery the find uncovers, Prowse sees the broader scientific impact for archaeologists, physica anthropologists, and classicists: The grave goods from this individual's burial gave no indication that he was forei born or of East Asian descent.
"This multi-faceted research demonstrates that human skeletal remains can provide another layer of evidence in conjunction with archaeological and historical information," says Prowse.
Where did the discovery take place?
A. East Asia
B. Rome
C. Vagnari
D. Oxford

12. TEXT 2
Women Who Choose Boiled Coffee Run Lower Risk of Breast Cancer, Swedish Study Finds
ScienceDaily (June 16, 2010) — Women who drink Scandinavian boiled coffee, which chemically resembles Fre press and Turkish/Greek coffee, more than four times a day run a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who drink coffee less than once a day. This is shown by Lena Nilsson and her associates at Umea University in ai article in the journal Cancer Causes & Control.
A major difference between boiled and filtered coffee is that the boiled version contains up to 80 times as much coffee-specific fatty acids. These fatty acids have previously been shown in animal experiments to inhibit the growth of cancer.
By comparing filtered coffee and boiled coffee in the Vasterbotten Intervention Project (64,603 participants), researchers at Limed University have been able to show for the first time that various brewing techniques can lead different risk patterns for cancer. For total cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and many other less common forms of cancer, there was no correlation.
Among women who drank boiled coffee more than four times a day there was a lowered risk of breast cancer compared with women who drank coffee less than once a day. Among women who drank filtered coffee there was increased risk for early breast cancer (under 49 years old) and a decreased risk for late breast cancer (over 55 year old). Boiled-coffee drinkers, merely not filtered-coffee drinkers, also had an increased risk of pancreatic cancer at lung cancer among men.
The study, recently published in the scientific journal Cancer Causes and Control, is the first in the world to corn the consumption of coffee prepared with two brewing techniques in regard to cancer.
