This project presents the results of a large-scale, multi-proxy study of Medieval Sicily, a pivotal time period and location for the demographic formation of Europe. In this study, we compare the genetic affinities and diet of two communities of different faiths (Muslim and Christian) buried in adjacent cemeteries on the Sicilian site of Segesta at the end of the Norman period until the end of the Swabian period (late 12th/mid 13th century). This work has been part of the ERC Advanced grant "SICTRANSIT" which aimed to understand the impact of the regime changes in Sicily during the Middle Ages.
