In Italy many hundreds of victims of both armies who fought WWI still attend to be recovered and, if possible, identified and given back to their relatives. This study has as its objective to carry out a correct recovery, anthropological analysis and possible identification of these soldiers. Our plan has been elaborated so that it may involve various experts of different disciplines (archeologists, historians, antropologists, but also genetists and entomologists). So far, in this research project, 35 recovered skeletons have been studied. Thus the biological profile was defined (sex, age, stature and ancestry) then pathologies as well as trauma. The first results show the presence of adult men but also of adolescents. The subjects show diseases of a degenerative type (arthrosis, reumatoide arthritis), as well as perimortal lesions linked to blunt trauma, explosions, or due bullet wounds.
在意大利，第一次世界大战中参战双方的数百名受害者遗体仍有待挖掘回收，若有可能，还需进行身份鉴定并归还给其亲属。本研究旨在对这些士兵进行正确的遗体挖掘回收、人类学分析以及可能的身份鉴定。我们制定的计划涉及不同学科的各类专家（考古学家、历史学家、人类学家，还有遗传学家和昆虫学家）。到目前为止，在这个研究项目中，已经对35具挖掘出的骨骼进行了研究。由此确定了生物特征（性别、年龄、身高和血统），以及病理状况和创伤情况。初步结果显示，既有成年男性的遗体，也有青少年的遗体。这些死者呈现出退行性疾病（骨关节炎、类风湿性关节炎），以及与钝器伤、爆炸或枪伤相关的濒死损伤。
