Roman Garum Science Claxon!

Themudo, Gonçalo Espregueira, Adolfo Fernández-Fernández, Patricia Valle Abad, et al. “Roman Atlantic Garum: DNA Confirms Sardine Use and Population Continuity in North-Western Iberia.” Antiquity 99, no. 406 (2025): 1049–64. https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2025.73.

> the authors demonstrate that, despite being crushed and exposed to acidic conditions, usable DNA can be recovered from ichthyological residues at the bottom of fish-salting vats. At third-century AD Adro Vello (O Grove), Galicia, they confirm the use of European sardines (Sardina pilchardus) and move beyond morphology to explore population range and admixture and reveal the potential of this overlooked archaeological resource
