Demographic Composition and Pathology of the Human Occupants and Sacrificial Victims at Ancient Korean Tombs
Archaeological evidence demonstrates that mortuary practices involving human sacrifice, known in Korea as sunjang , were conducted in ancient Korea. However, few studies have examined the biological attributes of individuals associated with this practice to explore the relationship between sacrificial victims and principal tomb occupants or to clarify their social roles within the contemporary society. This study examines human skeletal remains e…

Reconstructing the life histories of a noble couple from the Joseon period, Korea, based on skeletal evidence and historical records
This study is an osteobiography of a noble couple who were members of the “ruling elite” in the 18th‐century Joseon period, Korea. The archaeological context and historical records indicate that the couple lived and died during a period marked by strict observance of social hierarchy. The husband's skeleton exhibits clear evidence of craniosynostosis and spinal scoliosis. In particular, congenital craniosynostosis of the skull likely caused defor…
Trotter and Gleser’s (1958) equations outperform Trotter and Gleser’s (1952) equations in stature estimation of the US White males
The performance of three stature estimation methods was compared quantitatively.Trotter and Gleser's (1952, 1958) and FORDISC White male equations were included.Overall, Trotter and Gleser's 1958 method outperformed the other methods.This study provides a practical guide for stature estimation equation selection
Ancient mitochondrial DNA analysis of avian bones collected from the 4th century pit burial found in South Korea
The correlation between the tooth wear of the first molar and the estimated age from the auricular surfaces in a Joseon Dynasty population, South Korea
Dental wear is widely accepted as a physiological consequence of aging, and its evaluation can be a simple tool with which to estimate the age at death of an adult. However, previous studies indicate that age estimation based solely on dental wear is not reliable and does not clarify how the degrees of dental wear are used to reach a final age estimation. Furthermore, most techniques used to measure dental wear rely on an ordinal scale despite th…
The relationship between ante‐mortem molar loss and mandibular ramus shape in an archaeological population from Korea
The relationship between age, ante‐mortem tooth loss (AMTL) of molars, and mandibular ramus shape was examined in the context of function‐induced alteration. It was hypothesized that age, as well as molar AMTL, would be significant factors for predicting ramus shape variation in an archaeological skeletal sample from Korea. Mandibles of 90 adults from the Joseon Dynasty in Korea were analysed using 3D geometric morphometrics. Molars were counted …
Syphilitic infection in a pre-modern population from South Korea (19th century AD)
Recent studies suggest that acquired syphilis evolved in the Old World from a non-sexually transmitted treponeme originating in the New World during early European expansion and colonization. However, when and via which route the bacteria were introduced into Asia remains uncertain. This study examined the first paleopathological evidence of syphilitic infection in an individual from the 19th century AD in South Korea. The individuals from a site…

Probable Cases of Scurvy in Subadults Crania from Archaeological Sites, South Korea
Artificial deformation versus normal variation
The purpose of this investigation was to examine cranial deformation versus normal cranial variation in ancient Korean populations from the 1st century B.C. to the 7th century A.D. by means of geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistical methods. The samples of human crania in this study were 7 male and 11 female individuals from the Yean-ri site, 4 males and 6 females from the Nukdo site, and 6 males and 4 females from the Imdang site. O…
Dental Pathologies in the Three Kingdoms Period Population from Imdang Site, Gyeongsan, Korea
Dental pathology has the potential to provide insight into the interpretation of the health and life style of past population. In particular, dental pathologies are strongly correlated to subsistence pattern, diet habits and food-preparation techniques. For this reason, my studies have focused on analyses of dental diseases (e.g., caries, abscesses, ante-mortem tooth loss, enamel hypoplasia, dental attrition, and periodontal diseases). The purpos…
A Study of Bilateral Asymmetry Pattern in the Eye Orbit and Nose of the Joseon Dynasty Skeletal Group Using Geometric Morphometrics
In this study, the pattern of bilateral asymmetry in the eye orbit and nose of the Joseon Dynasty skeletal group was analyzed using geometric morphometrics. For this, 38 adult males and 38 adult females from the Joseon Dynasty skeletal group belonging to the 15th to early 20th centuries were examined. For geometric morphometric analysis, Procrustes superimposition was performed on 10 landmarks in both eye orbits and 7 nasal landmarks. The data we…
A comparison of cranial fluctuating asymmetry between the two sexes in a Joseon Dynasty population of Korea
Cranial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) has been used to examine developmental stress levels in various populations. In bioarchaeological studies, developmental stress can be an important factor for inferring standard of living in a population. However, the crania of a Joseon Dynasty population have only been studied in terms of its morphological characteristics. In this regard, the cranial FA of the two sexes from a Joseon Dynasty population of Korea…
Anthropological Study on the Cremated Bones of the Late Silla Kingdom Period in Korean History
Anthropological studies on burnt bones revealed patterns by which the nature of archaeological cremation cases can be hypothesized. However, there have been very few histological analyses performed on cremated bones obtained from archaeological sites in East Asia. The researchers, therefore, endeavored to isolate the heat-induced changes in Late Silla Kingdom bones that probably had been subjected to post-mortem cremation. When the researchers ex…
Biomechanical Properties of Femoral Diaphyseal Cross-sectional Shape from the Eunpyeong Population
The Relationship between the Two Types of Vertebral Degenerative Joint Disease in a Joseon Dynasty Population, Korea
The purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between degenerative joint disease (DJD) in the apophyseal joints and intervertebral joints in the vertebral column and assess which vertebral DJD is the more reliable indicator of general activity-related stress. We hypothesized that the more reflecting vertebral DJD for general activity-related stress would appear to show a higher correlation with Schmorl's nodes (SNs). To test this h…
Degenerative joint diseases and enthesopathies in a Joseon Dynasty population from Korea
Degenerative Joint Disease and Social Status in the Terminal Late Archaic Period (1000–500 b.c .) of Ohio
This research presents an analysis of the inferred Late Archaic social structure in Ohio based on degenerative joint disease (DJD, also known as osteoarthritis) and mortuary practices. We tested the hypothesis that mechanical loading involving physical activities is differentially distributed in a population along levels or types of social stratification. This hypothesis was investigated via statistical treatment of DJD as a skeletal stress marke…
