@_drsang @earlymodernjohn @LULGalleries @DrC_Rider Cheese was also used for magical/efficacious childbirth remedies and amulets! There's a recipe in the Trotula that calls for a SATOR square to be inscribed on cheese to help in childbirth.🧀 https://t.co/9u

Palaeoproteomic analysis of a stained medieval birth girdle showed that this parchment was actively used during birth in a talismanic, apotropaic way. Trying to decipher only the symbols on it obscures the intensely human aspect of this item. 2/ https://
@amwillemsen1 @Huisvanhetboek @LitteraCarolina ...analysing the parchment, binding, etc. via eZooMS - it's *amazing* what's now possible to investigate thanks to the latest non-invasive sample techniques, such as https://t.co/v2bCGxR7vZ
If you're interested in how this method can be used, check our this recent study which show how milk, cereals, beans, honey, yogurt and other proteins have been used as medical treatment using pregnancy: https://t.co/HwzuX3DGqp

I thoroughly recommend reading the new paper on birthing girdles by @DrSFiddyment & colleagues. It addresses my musings, has all kinds of really fascinating historical detail, fancy ancient proteomics, and is beautifully written and accessible: https:/
@kejames The proteomics identified it a sheep/goat milk (paper by @DrSFiddyment & colleagues here: https://t.co/gCBvGi9aoe it's wonderful and having read it it address my Q about girdles as potentially supportive).
