Vertebral haemangioma in a Roman period skeleton from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
A 50‐ to 65‐year‐old female, from the Roman period Kellis 2 (K2) cemetery in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, shows macroscopic and imaging evidence of a vertebral haemangioma (VH). The centrum of the 12th thoracic vertebrae has an expanded and lysed cortex and thickened vertical trabeculae—producing the pathognomonic “corduroy” radiological sign. Additionally, the first lumbar vertebrae shows early changes of haemangioma that are not obvious macroscopi…

How Short Is Short, and Why? A Probable Case of Proportionate Dwarfism From Egypt's Third Intermediate Period in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
This study describes a probable proportionate dwarf from a Third Intermediate Period cemetery at Ain Tirghi in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt. The skeleton (Burial 22 or B22) is an adult woman estimated to be in her mid-to-late thirties. Most medical literature defines an adult stature of 2 standard deviations below the population mean as an indicator for clinically short stature, with some bioarchaeologists and clinicians identifying severe short stat…
An exploration of adult body shape and limb proportions at Kellis 2, Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Several studies have shown that the human body generally conforms to the ecogeographical expectations of Bergmann's and Allen's rules; however, recent evidence suggests that these expectations may not hold completely for some populations. Egypt is located at the crossroads of Sub‐Saharan Africa, Southern Europe, and the Near East, and gene flow among groups in these regions may confound ecogeographical patterning. In this study, we test the fit o…
Roman Period fetal skeletons from the East Cemetery (Kellis 2) of Kellis, Egypt
Much can be learned about the religious ideology and mortuary patterns as well as the demographic and health profiles of a population from archaeological human fetal skeletons. Fetal skeletons are rare, however, largely due to poor preservation and recovery, misidentification, or non-inclusion in general burial populations. We present an analysis of 82 fetal/perinatal skeletons recovered from Kellis 2, a Roman Period cemetery dated to the third a…
Humerus varus deformity in Roman period burials from Kellis 2, Dakhleh, Egypt
Humerus varus deformity (HVD) occurs unilaterally in a female (#85) skeleton and bilaterally in a male (#124) from Kellis 2, a Roman period cemetery (circa 300-450 AD) from Dakhleh, Egypt. The affected humeri were shortened, their glenohumeral joints deformed, and their upper diaphyses were angulated. The skeletons were otherwise normal. The severity of the changes suggests that the underlying growth disturbances occurred early in postnatal devel…

Cribra orbitalia in two temporally disjunct population samples from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Cribra orbitalia (CO), an osseous sign of anemic stress, occurs in 67% (n = 296) of the pre-Roman (n = 153) and Roman (n = 143) period crania from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt. CO is primarily a childhood condition in these samples, and its prevalence is significantly higher in virtually all cohorts in the pre-Roman group, including among females, who display higher rates of active lesions. This temporal trend suggests that the underlying causative f…
Unique Aspects of West Coast Treponematosis
Skeletal populations from the western coast of North America clearly were afflicted with a treponemal disease very different from that previously documented elsewhere in North America. Six populations from west of the Sierra Cascades were compared with 5 sites east of the Cascades. A high population frequency (both in adults and subadults) of pauci-ostotic, periostitis was noted in the six western skeletal populations, identical to that reported …

Differential diagnosis of rib lesions
The right ribs of an adult male (#18) from the LeVesconte Burial Mound in southern Ontario show extensive osteolytic and/or osteoblastic lesions, some with bone thickening, interpreted herein as evidence of a chronic actinomycotic infection. In the alveolus, the presence of periapical abscesses and periodonitis with secondary inflammation may be associated with the pathogenesis of this bacterial disease by providing the normally commensurate Acti…
The assessment and meaning of intraobserver error in population studies based on discontinuous cranial traits
Intraobserver scoring precision of 50 discontinuous (discrete) cranial traits was assessed on a sample of 125 intact Iroquois crania using the square of the phi coefficient. Scoring consistency was high for most traits though several were subject to low precision (θ 2
