Palaeopathology in Mortuary Art
A new methodology to estimate flat foot in skeletal remains – the example of Mediterranean collections
has been well-studied in clinical literature and paleoanthropology but has not been approached extensively in bioarchaeology. The main difficulty is related to the diagnosis of this pathology based exclusively on bone remains. In this work, we propose a metric and morphological method to discriminate flat foot in dry bones. Thus, we studied 390 pairs of adult feet in a fair state of preservation from archaeological contexts from Spain, Italy, and…
Pathological and normal variability of foot bones in osteological collections from Catalonia (Spain) and Lazio (Italy)
A wide number of factors can affect the structure of the bones in the foot. In bioarchaeology, few studies about foot anomalies include population comparisons and changes across time. We aimed to identify normal and pathological variability that affected the foot in the recent history of West Mediterranean populations. Thus, we analyzed change in occurrence of rare variants, pathological lesions, entheseal morphology, and their probable causes. W…
El Templo de Millones de Años de Thutmosis III en Luxor
"The excavation work at the site of the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmosis III (West Thebes) has revealed a large amount of human remains (skeletons and mummies) uncovered from two main locations: tombs placed within or next to the enclosure walls of the temple dated from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Late Period and graves from a necropolis of the First Intermediate Period – 11th Dynasty close to the north-eastern enclosure wa…
Leukemia in Ancient Egypt
Malignant bone tumors are uncommon among archaeological skeletal remains, and the general skeletal involvement is even less frequent. Multiple myelomas along with metastases are the most common conditions in paleopathology, whereas malignant myeloproliferative diseases have only been described in a handful of cases.We present a probable case of acute lymphocytic leukemia in a skeleton of an individual from Ancient Egypt, dated to the end of the F…
A case of enchondroma from Carolingian necropolis of St. Pere De Terrassa (Spain)
The population of Can Reiners. Demography and life conditions on Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) during the Middle Ages
A case of semi-combusted pregnant female in the Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Monte Sirai (Carbonia, Sardinia, Italy)
Cystic Mandibular Lesion in the Antiquity. A Rare Finding
Ameloblastoma is a not uncommon tumour reported in the clinical literature and is characterised by a multilocular cavity with 'soap bubble' pattern usually in the posterior body of the mandible. A review of the palaeopathology literature did not reveal any examples of ameloblastoma. In this paper, a probable case of ameloblastoma in a male skeleton, 45 - 55 years at age of death, from Casserres, Barcelona, Spain, (ca ad V-IX centuries) is present…
An ovarian teratoma of late Roman age
Interpreting diachronic osteological variation at the medieval necropolis of the Sant Pere Churches (Terrassa, Spain)
The purpose of this study is to analyse the diachronic variation in the skeletal sample exhumed from the medieval necropolis of Sant Pere Churches, interpreting the results using the archaeological and historical evidence. The Sant Pere Churches are a monumental Romanic complex located in Terrassa (Spain) and built over the earlier Episcopal Cathedral of Egara from the Visigoth period. Egara has traditionally been considered the precursor of the …
The warriors of the steppes
Clay-shoveler's fracture
An archaeological case of clay-shoveler's fracture was observed in an adult male exhumed from a Roman necropolis dated to the 1st–3rd century AD and located in the city of Barcelona, Spain. Clay-shoveler's fracture is a breakage of a lower cervical or upper thoracic spinous process as a result of mechanical stress. Different mechanisms have been related to this injury, generally in labour-related contexts. This paper reviews the literature concer…
Pathological Evidence in Newborn Children from the Sixteenth Century in Huelva (Spain)
Pathological Evidence in Newborn Children from the Sixteenth Century in Huelva (Spain)
Archaeological infant remains rarely appear in the palaeopathological literature; above all there are few references to neonatal individuals. This work presents four infant pathological specimens from the crypt of the Ermita de la Soledad (sixteenth to nineteenth century, Huelva, Spain). The bones analysed—one right hemifrontal, two humeri and a femur—belong to at least two individuals of between 0 and 6 months of age. The differential diagnosis …
