Thirty-Five Years of Upper Missouri River Basin Paleopathology
Wet Bones project consisted of speech/hearing evaluations performed on the Native Americans. The Dry Bones project were studies conducted on bones recovered from the region. During 35 years we examined skeletal remnants representing several cultures who existed in Dakota Territory during two millennia. The study of paleopathology was enhanced by salvage archaeology projects conducted before closure of dams across the River in the Upper Missouri R…
Osteitis Pubis in The Male
Osteitis pubis is an inflammatory condition which is limited to the pubic symphysis and contiguous bone. A search in the available literature of paleopathology showed no reference of this condition heretofor in males. We identify ten instances of pubic osteitis in male skeletons from South Dakota. The subject is discussed, illustrated, and causative mechanisms are considered
Erosion of The Supraorbital Plate
An eroded lesion in the supraorbital plate in a South Dakota Indian from Larson site (39WW2, ca. AD 1785) is described. It is postulated to have been a benign tumor of the lacrimal gland
Brachydactyly In A Prehistoric Texas Skeleton
Brachydactyly, shortness of the fingers or toes, is due to small bones in the hand or foot. It may occur as an inherited autosomal dominant trait, as part of several syndromes, as an anatomic variant or manifestation of primary skeletal dysplasia, or as a result of trauma during childhood growth. Clinical discussions of brachydactyly are numerous, but the literature relating to diseases in antiquity contains few references to the condition.The ri…
Malnutrition in Fourteenth-Century South Dakota
Analysis of mutilated skeletons representing people massacred at the fourteenth-century Crow Creek village on the Missouri River bluffs in central proto-South Dakota provided information implicating metabolic deficiencies as significant factors in the catastrophe. Prominent findings were: lines in long bones indicating metabolic stress during growth; superior orbital plate, skull surface, and long bone changes attributable to iron deficiency anem…

Ancient Osteopathology From The Caddoan Burials At The Kaufman-Williams Site, Texas
Osteopathological analysis of the Caddoan skeletal remains from the Kaufman-Williams site (41 RR16), Red River County, Texas, suggests that the most serious problems afflicting the people (as reflected in their remains) were degenerative conditions, such as osteophytosis and osteoarthritis, and dental wear and disease. As would beexpected, these problems became more severe with increasing age. With the exception of one congenital hip dislocation,…
Osteochondritis Dissecans From The Great Plains Of North America
Three probable examples of osteochondritis dissecans from the northern and southern Great Plains are discussed. The distal femora from the skeleton of a male from the Kaufman-Williams site, 41RR16, Red River County, Texas, and skeletal fragments from two individuals from the Crow Creek site (39BF11), Buffalo County, South Dakota, display lesions typical of this disease. The condition, which most frequently develops in the knee, is probably caused…
Ancient Inborn Facial Clefts and NonodontogeniC Fissural Cysts
Unusual, apparently congenital facial fusion defects in six ancient skulls from the Upper Missouri River Basin and southeastern United States are presented and discussed. The similarity between nonodontogenic fissural defects and overt and occult lip and palate clefting is explored. Some specimens in other collections now labeled “dental abscess” or “dental tumor” may represent these anomalies. Because of the similarity in embryology and anatomy,…
Unusual osteolytic defects in ancient South Dakota skulls
Unusual osteolytic defects in eight skulls culled from over 4000 ancient South Dakota burials are presented, discussed briefly, and assigned to what we think is their most likely cause. Because these are collection skeletons, histological and microbiological confirmation of interpretations concerning specific lesions are not possible. Corroboration of our opinions has been sought through radiographs and by expert consultation elsewhere. Although …
Ante-Mortem Osteopathology At Crow Creek
In the mid-fourteenth century, over 486 individuals apparently were massacred at the Crow Creek Site (39 B F 11), located on the east bank of the Missouri River in South Dakota. During the analysis of the skeletons, a search was made for evidence of diseases, anomalies, and abnormalities which had affected these people during life and had left an imprint upon their bones. The salient pathology is tabulated here, discussed briefly, and illustrated…
Monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the temporal bone
Fibrous dysplasia, characterized by benign osteolytic and osteoblastic lesions may involve one or several bones. Recent investigators have suggested that it may be merely a phase of what have previously been thought to be several different bone disease. Isolated fibrous dysplasia in the temporal bone is infrequent. Several reports of this disease have appeared in the literature of paleopathology, but none involved only the temporal bone. Monostot…
Otosclerotic stapedial footplate fixation in an 18th century burial
Fixation of the footplate of the stapes by otosclerosis has been found in the left ear of a probable Spaniard who died about 200 years ago and was buried in the Tucson Presidio. Previous studies on North and South Dakota American Indian crania of about the same time period did not demonstrate any stapedial fixation in 2,600 burials (4,064 temporal bones), 1,416 of which were over 16 years of age at death. The Tucson burial would indicate that thi…
Ankylosing Spondylitis (Marie Strumpel Disease)In Historic and Prehistoric Northern Plains Indians
Ankylosing spondylitis, a form of chronic, progressive spinalarthritis, occurs in about 0.05% of the population of England today. Sporadic reports of this abnormality have appeared in literature pertaining to paleopathology, but to date there has been little opportunity to identify and study this process in large, well documented populations of all ages and.both sexes. In the study of over 2600 Indian burials from North and South Dakota (at least…
Hrdlicka revisited (external auditory canal exostoses)
To determine possible matter of opinion as to the existence of exostoses in the outer ear canals of Indian skulls from Dakota as an explanation for the marked difference in incidence of these tumors found by Hrdlicka and by us in previous studies, we have examined skeletal specimens reportedly seen by Hrdlicka, independently, and compared his and our results. The Smithsonian‐Mobridge skulls both in Hrdlicka's and our opinion show definitely more …
The Paraoccipital (Paracondyloid) Process
A summary of the available literature relating to the subject of paraoccipital (paracondyloid) processes is presented. An anatomic description illustrated by a photograph and a radiographic analysis of an outstanding example of a paracondyloid process is submitted. in a series of 984 Indian burial specimens from South and North Dakota, anomalies in the area of the base of the skull, including occipitalization of the first cervical vertebra and pa…
Ear Disease in Skulls From the Sully Burial Site
A study was made of 358 skulls (255 Arikara from a single burial area) visually and with X-rays looking for evidence of disease in and about the ears with special reference to infection and OTOSCLEROSIS with fixation of the stapes footplate. No stapes fixation was found. X-rays showed altered mastoid cell development in 139 of 255 ears (55o/o). Osteomas were found in l 7 external auditory canals of ll individuals (3. Oo/o)
A search for stapes footplate fixation in an Indian population, prehistoric and historic
This study was made to find evidence of ear disease in ancient persons, special emphasis being placed upon otosclerosis with stapes footplate fixation, which would have suggested hearing loss during the life of the individual. Specimens examined were from Indian burials in South Dakota, consisting of skulls from persons ranging from birth to over 40 years. Two‐hundred eleven of 221 were of sufficient age to have had stapedial fixation. Skull anom…
Roentgenographic evaluation of temporal bones from South Dakota Indian burials
To complement a previous study relating to ear disease in temporal bones from South Dakota Indian burials, radiographs were made looking for altered mastoid development suggesting the presence of infections during the period of their growth. Infection has been implicated as a causative, accentuating, or precipitating factor in the disease otosclerosis. Theories relating to the development of the mastoids are discussed and a pertinent bibliography…
An Archeological Detective Story
A historical reconstruction of cranial trauma in a Middle Woodland female is supported by analysis of osteopathology. The events concerning the trauma and resultant death are fictive and offered for the benefit of human interest
