Bioantropología de las manos
This study highlights the osteological value of hand bones, with particular attention to their potential for sex estimation, age assessment, activity pattern analysis, and the identification of pathological and traumatic signs. Several archaeological sites from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) were analyzed, documenting possible fractures in various hand bones, degenerative changes consistent with rhizarthrosis, and enthesopathies in phalanges. The …
Chronic disease in a 15th-century skeleton from the first European settlement of the Canary Islands
OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to evaluate morphological changes in a skeleton recovered from San Marcial de Rubicón, the earliest permanent European settlement in the Canary Islands. MATERIALS: The individual derives from a primary inhumation dated to the early fifteenth century. METHODS: Macroscopic observation was combined with conventional radiography, computed tomography, and mitochondrial DNA analysis. A systematic differential diagnosis consi…
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 …
The Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B in The Southern Levant
During the last twenty years, several archaeological sites with occupation levels attributed to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B have been excavated in the southern Levant, filling the previous information gap. Our excavations at Tell Qarassa North (Sweida, Syria) and Kharaysin (Zarqa, Jordan), with EPPNB occupations dated from ca. 8600 to 8200 cal. BC, have contributed to the renewal of our knowledge of the PPNB in the southern area of the Fert…
Osteosclerotic disease and bone cyst in a prehispanic burial from Las Cañadas del Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
Skeletal remains of two prehispanic male adult individuals (antiquity ≈ 550 BP) recovered from a burial cave located in Montaña Blanca (Las Cañadas del Teide) at an altitude of 2450 m above sea level, in the highlands of Tenerife (Canary Islands) showed some unusual features. Femora and tibiae of both individuals showed increased bone density, with irregular thickening of the midshaft diaphyses. One individual showed a cystic lesion in the distal…
A Prehispanic infant from Tenerife with diffuse microporotic lesions
We describe diffuse microporotic lesions observed in most of the scattered skeletal remains belonging to a ≈ 6 months-old female (genetic sexing) prehispanic (antiquity ≈ 600 years BP) individual recovered from a small recess of a basaltic burial cave in the highlands (2300 m above sea level) of Tenerife. Although sphenoid wings were lacking, microporotic lesions were present in several bones, especially in the hard palate, basilar part of the oc…
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 …
Perinatal burials at pre-Hispanic noncemetery sites in Gran Canaria
In this paper, we perform the first multidisciplinary study of perinatal burials at a pre-Hispanic domestic site in Gran Canaria. For that, we carried out bioanthropological analyses, the genetic determination of the molecular sex of the individuals, and the contextualization of their chronological and cultural affiliations. To date, these remains had been associated to a local re-interpretation of a Phoenician-Punic tophet or as evidence of fema…
Paleogenomics of the prehistory of Europe
A substantial portion of ancient DNA research has been centred on understanding European populations' origin and evolution. A rchaeological evidence has already shown that the peopling of Europe involved an intricate pattern of demic and/or cultural diffusion since the Upper Palaeolithic, which became more evident during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. However, ancient DNA data has been crucial in determining if cultural changes occurred du…
Cuando el ADN nos cambio el pasaporte
Con la popularización de los estudios genéticos en poblaciones actuales y antiguas, estos se han convertido en el centro de muchos de los debates sobre diversas identidades nacionales. El presente ensayo se centra en la manera como se construyen las identidades nacionales y el papel que desempeña la historia. Se analiza también la posible instrumentalización de los estudios genéticos durante estos procesos. Se utiliza a las islas Canarias como ej…
Genetic studies on the prehispanic population buried in Punta Azul cave (El Hierro, Canary Islands)
A skeletal case of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy from the Canary Islands dating from 1000 BP
A case of calcaneal osteomyelitis from the prehispanic population of El Hierro (Canary Islands)
Hallux Valgus among an 18th Century Population of the Canary Islands
Hallux valgus is defined as the lateral deviation of the great toe. It is considered a disease mainly related to the use of boots or shoes that constrict the foot. This process usually ensues along many years and is accompanied by changes at the metatarsophalangeal joint, which serve to make the diagnosis on bare bones. Diagnostic criteria include lateral deviation of the metatarsophalangeal joint (1), lateral subluxation of the first phalanx, de…
