Conjoined first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae in an eastern wapiti ( Cervus canadensis canadensis ) from the Angel Site (1000–1400 CE, Indiana, USA)
Atlantoaxial abnormalities are rarely documented among wild animals. Many defects of segmentation in the spine are hereditary in domestic species and humans. Here, we present a block vertebra in an eastern wapiti ( Cervus canadensis canadensis ) from the Angel Site (12Vg1) in southern Indiana (USA) dating to 1000–1400 CE. Diagnosis used macroscopic and radiographic examination. Evidence of inflammatory response and eburnation point to functional …
Dietary reconstruction based on stable isotopes and stature at Torre de Palma, a Late Roman/Late Antiquity site in southern Portugal
The youngest meningioma? A historic Maya adolescent from Tipu, Belize
Meningiomas are the most common tumours of the central nervous system. However, few well‐accepted cases have been reported in the palaeopathological literature and usually only when hyperostosis co‐occurs. We present a hyperostotic cranial lesion in an adolescent from the early historic population of Tipu in west central Belize. It fits most clinical and epidemiological patterns of meningeal expression in modern children, and differential diagnos…
Introduction
Bioarchaeology in Oaxaca
Isotopic study of geographic origins and diet of enslaved Africans buried in two Brazilian cemeteries
Ancient DNA from the S child site in I llinois
Archaeologists have long debated whether rapid cultural change in the archaeological record is due to in situ developments, migration of a new group into the region, or the spread of new cultural practices into an area through existing social networks, with the local peoples adopting and adapting practices from elsewhere as they see fit (acculturation). Researchers have suggested each of these explanations for the major cultural transition that o…
Pretos Novos
Fine, polished abrasion of teeth provides evidence for use of traditional oral hygiene practices in 32 fragmentary dentitions from a cemetery for newly arrived enslaved Africans who died before leaving Valongo, the slave port and market of Rio de Janeiro. We infer that chewing sticks were used before these people were enslaved. Cosmetic dental modification and abrasion of tooth roots occur in some individuals. High caries frequency, tooth loss an…

Tocas do Gongo, São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí, Brasil
Partes de 20 indivíduos adultos e jovens associados com cerâmica, cabaças e tecidos, foram recuperados em pequenos abrigos-sob-rocha denominados Tocas do Gongo, em São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí, Brasil. Uma única data (não calibrada) de 2090 + 110 BP está disponível para estes sítios. Os abrigos foram associados a aldeamentos com cerâmicas similares nas proximidades. Os remanescentes esqueléticos estão em diferentes estados de conservação. São prove…
Brief communication
Conjoined twins are born when a single fertilized egg partially splits into two fetuses. A hypothetical case of infant conjoined twins from Angel Mounds, a Middle Mississippian site (A.D. 1050–1400) on the Ohio River near Evansville, Indiana, was discovered in 1941. Morphological analysis does not rule out the field interpretation of this double burial as twins. Ancient mitochondrial DNA recovered from both infants demonstrates that they were not…
Dentes intencionalmente modificados e etnicidade em cemitérios do Brasil Colônia e Império
A modificação intencional dos dentes foi muito difundida na África, vindo com escravos para a América. No Brasil foram encontradas em alguns sítios arqueológicos, sendo aqui estudadas em dois cemitérios históricos do Brasil: Pretos Novos, no Rio de Janeiro (único cemitério de um mercado de escravos na América), e cemitérios da antiga Sé de Salvador. Entre 570 dentes (30 indivíduos) dos Pretos Novos foram encontrados 13 dentes modificados. Entre 3…
Da África ao Cemitério dos Pretos Novos , Rio de Janeiro
Nesse estudo foram feitas análises de isótopos de estrôncio em amostras do esmalte dentário de 30 indivíduos enterrados no Cemitério dos Pretos Novos (1769 a 1830). Esse cemitério, localizado na zona portuária da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, foi utilizado para sepultar escravos recém-chegados da África. Os valores de razão 87Sr/86Sr foram bastante heterogêneos, variando de 0,70589 até 0,74985, o que abrange praticamente toda a variação encontrada na…
Isotopic Evidence for Diet at Chau Hiix, Belize
The stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values (δ13C, δ15N) of collagen and the carbon isotope value of structural carbonate in bioapatite were measured in the bones and teeth of Early Classic to Historic period Maya buried at Chau Hiix, Belize. Diet at Chau Hiix comprised a mixture of resources but contained an unusual amount of protein from high trophic levels. There were no differences between the diets of males and females, and there were no c…

Brief communication
The distinction prevalent in the social sciences between the terms sex and gender is a useful one and ought to be preserved. Sex refers to the anatomical or chromosomal categories of male and female. Gender refers to socially constructed roles that are related to sex distinctions. Use of these terms as synonyms is becoming increasingly frequent in physical anthropology, especially among bioarchaeologists and primatologists. A failure to make the …
DNA from Complex Identified in North American, Pre-Columbian Human Skeletal Remains
The Human Remains from Carter Ranch Pueblo, Arizona
Health patterns in the Pueblo III (A.D. 1100-1225) population from Carter Ranch Pueblo were investigated in skeletal remains from 34 individuals. Childhood health disruptions were assessed using stature, linear enamel hypoplasias, and Harris lines. Periostitis, arthritis, anemia, trauma, and dental pathology were also observed. Although the low juvenile representation is probably an effect of age-biased mortuary practices, results suggest a healt…
Congenital syphilis in the past
Hutchinson's incisors and Moon's molars are specific lesions of congenital syphilis. The extensive but fragmentary clinical literature on these conditions describes reduced dimensions and thin enamel in the permanent incisors and first molars, crowding and infolding of the first molar cusps, notching of the upper incisors, and apical hypoplasias of the permanent canines. A Barbados slave cemetery (ca. 1660–1820 AD) includes three individuals with…
Vertebral pathology in the Afar australopithecines
Ten vertebral elements from the AL‐288 partial hominid skeleton and 11 elements from the AL‐333 collection are described. The AL‐288 column presents a marked kyphosis at the level of thoracic vertebrae 6 through 10, with pronounced new bone formation on the ventral surfaces of these vertebrae. These features, associated with narrowed disc space and minor osteophytosis, resemble Scheuermann disease in the human. Even though this diagnosis is consi…

Palaeopathology
Health and differential survival in prehistoric populations
Linear hypoplasia of the deciduous teeth is rare in most human populations, but common where nutritional status is poor. Deciduous enamel hypoplasia, hypocalcification, and hypoplasia‐related caries are described in Middle and Late Woodland skeletal series from the Lower Illinois Valley. Gross enamel defects that can be referred to pre‐natal development are found in 83 of 170 children under six years of age at death. Circular caries secondary to …
Palaeopathology
Part four
A variety of osteological techniques provide direct estimates of the effects of subsistence base changes on health in prehistoric populations. A model is presented for the interactions among demographic, skeletal and nutritional variables across the transition from hunting and gathering to maize agriculture based economies. Data on population composition, growth retardation, growth arrest markers, cortical bone dynamics, and nutrition‐related asp…
Are the Biological Differences Between North American Indians and Eskimos Truly Profound? [and Comments and Reply]
A prevailing view in North American anthropology is that Eskimos are descendants of the most recent migrants from Siberia and are more closely related to Asiatic Mongoloids than to Indians. The assumption of Eskimo-Indian biological distinctiveness is challenged by genetic-marker and cranial data, analyzed separately and then compared, for populations from the Arctic, Subarctic, Northwest Coast, and Great Plains. Genetic distances and cluster ana…

Natural Selection and Morphological Variability
Two hypotheses concerning the influence of natural selection intensity on intra- and interpopulational variability of metric characteristics of the human skull ar tested. Using data on 58 series from Europe and its environs dating from Neolithic to modern times, it has been found that with the decline of the decline of the intensity of operation of natural selection (1) intragroup variability increases, (2) intergroup variability decreases, and (…
