Large Cranial Vault Lesions (Scalping?) Among the Guanches (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
The aim of the present study is to describe some large lesions observed in cranial vaults belonging to pre‐Hispanic individuals (Guanches) from Tenerife. Among the 41 pre‐Hispanic skulls housed at the Instituto de Canarias Cabrera Pinto of the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands), we identified two cases from Barranco del Agua de Dios, an archaeological site with many dwelling sites and burial caves that was occupied by t…
Hounsfield attenuation coefficient and taphonomic changes in the radiological evaluation of ancient bones
Rasgos no-métricos en el esqueleto humano
Non-metric traits can be observed in teeth, the skull or the postcranial skeleton, and include anatomical variations of many different types. It was initially thought that most of these traits - especially the cranial ones- had a major genetic predisposition. However, it was later observed that many of them were acquired, which reflects the practice of a particular activity or the adoption of certain postures (for example, squatting) over long pe…
A malnourished infant from La Grieta (Las Cañadas, Tenerife) with cervical spine hyperlordosis
Excavation of a non-spoiled burial cave located among the lava blocks of La Grieta (Las Cañadas, Tenerife, Canary Islands), led to the recovery of a 940 year-antique, 10-year-old pre-Hispanic (Guanche) child (genetically sexed), who presented a marked cervical hyperlordosis and a rectification of the remaining spine (until L1), together with microporotic changes of the cranial vault, a bowed right tibia, and a rough, porotic appearance of the met…
Ankylosing spondylitis and heterotopic calcification
century) housed at the Department of Anatomy of the school of medicine (University of La Laguna, Tenerife). The Prehispanic individual possibly suffered a pelvic fracture that caused a hematoma which underwent ossification. Some features (periosteal reaction, formation of new foramina) may also suggest a superimposed infection. The fracture altered the pelvic structure, severely narrowing the right sciatic notch, possibly causing neural and/or va…
SEM technology for the analysis of tiny calcified remains from a pre‐Hispanic burial from El Hierro (Canary Islands)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) enables the determination of the composition and structure of tiny calcified remains occasionally recovered during burial excavations. To deepen the practical application of this technique, we performed SEM/EDX analysis on three different tiny mineralized, roughly rounded structures with a diameter of less than 5 mm recovered from a pre‐Hispanic collective …
Intracemetery relationships
century CE. These graves and cists are clustered together in different formations across the necropolis, giving rise to a complex composition that denotes the existence of possible interpersonal relationships of the people buried there. A total of 135 calcanei and 118 tali were analysed to find non-metric traits and to test whether the clustered burials share a non-metric trait relationship. Trait combinations were formed using talus and calcaneu…
The talus of the pre‐Hispanic population from Punta Azul (El Hierro, Canary Islands)
The aim of this study was assessing the prevalence of os trigonum , talo‐calcaneal facets, and squatting facet variations among pre‐Hispanic individuals (around 940 ± 30 bp ) placed in the collective burial cave of Punta Azul (El Hierro, Canary Islands), and to assess whether prevalence differed among sexes. A total of 149 tali (70 right and 79 left) belonging to adult individuals were found in a comingled context. Sex determination was achieved …
