A possible case of melorheostosis from antiquity
An unusual case of discontinuous hard tissue hyperostosis is described in a 25‐30–year‐old female dating between 4000 and 5500 BP from northern Chile. This specimen was one of 104 individuals examined from the Morro‐1 site, which is known to represent the Chinchorro culture. The only other reported case from antiquity dates to 500 AD (Lester [1969] J. Bone Joint Surg. [Am.] 49:142–143). A review and comparison of this case to the medical literatu…

Rib lesions in chronic pulmonary tuberculosis
The diagnosis of skeletal tuberculosis in human remains has traditionally been based upon the detection of secondary skeletal lesions which result from hemotogenous dissemination of tubercle bacilli (e.g., Pott's disease). Since such lesions develop in less than 7% of cases of human tuberculosis, the paleodemography and paleoepidemiology of this disease have been difficult to assess from skeletal remains. This study presents a new diagnostic appr…
Intervertebral osteochondrosis in ancient and modern populations
Skeletal collections are often useful for determining the frequency and distribution of lesions that would otherwise go unnoticed in the living. This study examines a rather common spinal lesion for which there is little clinical or paleopathologic literature available. In such cases, the anterior aspect of the lower thoracic and lumbar vertebral plates display crescent‐shaped lesions suggestive of a form of degeneration known as intervertebral o…
Natural variation and differential diagnosis of skeletal changes in tuberculosis
Twenty‐six documented cases (17 blacks, 9 whites) of skeletal tuberculosis from the Hamann‐Todd Osteological Collection, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, were analyzed for lesion variability and patterns of multiple site involvement. In addition, several documented cases of pathologic conditions (osteomyelitis, vertebral fractures, and malignant bone tumors) that resemble skeletal tuberculosis were photographed and described for use in differ…
Parturition and pelvic changes
A detailed analysis of the female bony pelvis in relation to parity status was made. A total of 198 complete pelves were inspected for five features considered to be associated with pregnancy and parturition. During final analysis two features were eliminated. Three remaining features — dorsal pubic pitting, pre‐auricular grooves, and grooves located at the site of interosseous ligament insertion were found to be significantly related to parturit…
Skeletal changes produced by aortic aneurysms
The three major types of aortic aneurysms — arteriosclerotic, syphilitic, and dissectign are discussed in relation to the skeletal changes they produce. The favored location, age, and sex predilection are described for each type. Four documented cases from the Hamann‐Todd osteological collection are presented with a description of the associated skeletal changes. All four cases appear to be the result of syphilitic infection. These documented cas…
Phenice's visual sexing technique for the os pubis
Innominate bones from 362 California Indians were sexed with Phenice's three non‐metrical features of the os pubis. The frequencies of marked, intermediate, and absent cases of these three morphological features were tabulated in males and females to see if unambiguous and reliable distinctions were consistently available. The results suggest that Phenice's technique offered extremely reliable sex evaluations in this material
