A further methodological comment on Recalcati et al. ’s Response on the “Skull with Petrified Ears” on the necessity of evidence-based anthropological studies

We would like to thank Recalcalti and his colleagues for their response by stressing that we very much welcome the contributions to anthropology and palaeopathology that may arise from the field of clinical medicine, including dermatology – it is not our intention to promote a separation between areas of knowledge1,2 (suffice it to say that one of us, F.M.G., is a physician by training), on the contrary we wish to promote the integration of different approaches towards the establishment of a problem-solving strategy capable of iden tifying diseases in the past.
