The Return of the Warrior
Reconstructing the face from the skull is important not only for forensic identification but also as a tool that can provide insight into the appearance of individuals from past populations. It requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines anthropological knowledge, advanced imaging methods, and artistic skills. In the present study, we demonstrate this process on the skull of an early medieval warrior from Croatia. The skeletal remains wer…
ChatGPT-3.5 as writing assistance in students’ essays
ChatGPT-3.5, an AI language model capable of text generation, translation, summarization, and question-answering, has recently been released for public use. Studies have shown it can generate abstracts, research papers, and dissertations, and create quality essays on different topics. This led to ethical issues in using ChatGPT in academic writing, AI authorship, and evaluating students’ essays. However, it is still unknown how ChatGPT performs i…
Facial reconstruction of mummified remains of Christian Saint-Nicolosa Bursa
Creating reference data on sex for ancient populations using the Probabilistic Sex Diagnosis method
The oldest evidence of calcific myonecrosis
On the archaeological site on the necropolis of the Ancient Salona, skeletal remains of 25–34 years old male were found. On the left lower leg, there were extensive pathological changes that were manifested on tibia and fibula as thickening of the bone shafts and fusion of these bones by calcified fusiform mass. The bone borders were sharpened with a new lighter layer of bone, enthesophytes, and/or with calcified tissue that merged with bone. Als…
Sex determination from femora in late antique sample from Eastern Adriatic coast (Salona necropolis)
The determination of sex is one of the first steps in anthropological analysis. When skeletal remains are fragmented, the most useful approach is application of osteometric methods. The methods are population specific, and therefore require development of discriminant functions for each population group. The aim of this study was to test sexual dimorphism of femoral measurements and to calculate discriminant functions applicable for sex determina…
Skeleton Changes Induced by Horse Riding on Medieval Skeletal Remains from Croatia
Skeletal remains of 35 individuals from the Croatian excavation site Kamen Most – Kaldrma from the fourteenth to fifteenth centuries were analyzed anthropologically. Due to specific skeletal characteristics, eight of them were analyzed in great detail in this study. The results of additional analysis indicated that all bone elements, except pelves, of all eight persons belonged to males. All pelvic girdle have characteristics of female sex and pr…
Occipitalization of the Atlas in Archaeological Material from the 16th-19th Century
During the anthropological analysis of skeletal material dated in the 16th-19th century from St Katarina monastery in Split, a female skull with occipitalization of atlas has been found. Anterior part of atlas and foramen magnum were fused, with numerous perforations on auricular surface of atlas. As the age at death was estimated at more than 70 years, it is most likely that this woman had progressive course of illness. Copyright (c) 2012 John W…
