Investigating Diachronic Changes in the Temporomandibular Joint Surface With a New Approach for Three‐Dimensional Surface Area Measurements
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a key role in mastication, and its morphology is influenced by functional loading from biting and chewing. Major dietary shifts in human history, particularly those linked to agricultural and industrial transitions, have substantially reduced masticatory demands. The lowering of the mechanical stress supposedly led to a decrease in the TMJ articular surface area. Although diet‐related effects on craniofacia…
Forensic facial approximation of an individual with achondroplasia from medieval cemetery in Central Europe
Skeletal dysplasia of an adult male from medieval Łekno in Poland, Central Europe
The skeletal dysplasias are a group of more than 450 heritable disorders that affect bone and cartilage, along with muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Achondroplasia is one of the most common skeletal dysplasias in both current and past populations. It can be transmitted intergenerationally, or it can result from a mutation. This paper aims to describe the lesions visible on the skeleton of a 30–45 year old male with achondroplasia, who lived durin…
Elusive Goths in northern Poland
From 19 inhumation graves from the cemetery in Malbork-Wielbark (northern Poland) samples (teeth) were collected for the analysis of strontium ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) isotopes in order to try to determine the origin of the subjects. The chronological range of the analyzed statistical sample covers about 300 years of over 600 years of necropolis history, i. e. the period from the end of the early pre-Roman period (phase A3 – the last decades BC) to the C1…
Paleodemographic analysis of age at death for a population of Black Sea Scythians
OBJECTIVES: Studies of the demography of past populations involving deterministic life tables can be criticized for ignoring the errors of estimation. Bayesian methods offer an alternative, by focusing on the uncertainty of the estimates, although their results are often sensitive to the choice of prior distributions. The aim of this study is to explore a range of Bayesian methods for estimating age at death for a population of nomadic warriors-S…
Victims of a 17th century massacre in Central Europe
Interments of massacre victims typically differ from normal funerary practices. Bodies are commonly not orderly buried but are thrown into a single grave‐pit and exhibit multiple perimortem traumatic injuries. Although perimortem skeletal trauma constitutes the most direct and unambiguous evidence for violence and warfare in the past, analysis should take contextual information into account. The aim of our research is to examine the skeletal evid…
Skeletal Evidence for Otitis Media in Mediaeval and Post‐Mediaeval Children from Poland, Central Europe
In palaeopathological research, otitis media (OM) is a rarely reported disease, although it is one of the most common diseases of childhood, with potentially severe consequences resulting in physical and social impairment, or even death. The episodes of OM are often preceded by upper respiratory tract infections, though the aetiology of OM is multifactorial, with significant role of environmental factors. In archaeological skeletons, middle ear i…
Growth and health status of children and adolescents in medieval Central Europe
Subadult growth and health have been analyzed in three cemetery samples from medieval Poland, including two early-urban sites: Cedynia dated to the 10t–14th centuries AD, and Ostrów Lednicki dated to the 13th–15th centuries AD, and a rural site Słaboszewo dated to the 14th–17th centuries AD. The nutritional status was not expected to have substantially differed among the settlements, due to the culturally induced undiversified diet of children, a…
Warriors Die Young
Scythians were nomadic groups, playing a dominant role on the Eurasian steppes in the Early Iron Age according to many archaeological and historical sources. In this paper, we aim at assessing demographic features and dynamics of a Scythian population from the Black Sea region. We hypothesise that they differed from other societies not only in terms of culture, but also demography: their fertility was lower, and life expectancy higher than in oth…
Prevalence of chronic maxillary sinusitis in children from rural and urban skeletal populations in Poland
Did Children in Medieval and Post-medieval Poland Suffer from Scurvy? Examination of the Skeletal Evidence
Late-medieval and post-medieval writings report that scurvy was a widespread condition in medieval and early historical Poland. Archaeological and historical data indicate that the diet of children was based on foods poor in vitamin C and contained small amounts of raw plant products. Also, historians emphasise that in medieval and post-medieval Poland, there were seasonal fluctuations in food availability, frequently accompanied by poor harvests…
Remains of a late Neolithic barrow at Kruszyn. A glimpse of ritual and everyday life in early Corded Ware societies of the Polish Lowland
Das Grab aus Kruszyn, 2009 in Kujawien entdeckt, rechnet zu einer kleinen Regionalgruppe der Schnurkeramik. Es zeichnet sich durch einen verhältnismäßig guten Erhaltungszustand und untypisch zahlreiche, aus Knochen und Geweih gefertigte Werkzeugbeigaben aus. Die aufgedeckten sterblichen Überreste wurden anthropologisch und isotopisch analysiert ( La tombe de Kruszyn, découverte en 2009 dans la région de Cujavie, fait partie d’un petit groupe régi…
Age of linear enamel hypoplasia formation based on Massler and colleagues’ and Reid and Dean's standards in a Polish sample dated to 13th–18th century CE
Comparing the Chronological Distribution of Enamel Hypoplasia in Rogowo, Poland (2nd century ad) Using Two Methods of Defect Timing Estimation
The frequency and chronological distribution of enamel hypoplasias were assessed in a Roman Period population of the Wielbark culture from Rogowo, northern Poland, dated to the 2nd century ad. Hypoplasias were recorded on permanent incisors, canines, and premolars of 52 skeletons. The position of linear defects on the crown surface was measured and then converted to the age of occurrence using two methods: a conventional method that employs the c…
Season of birth and subsequent body size
Objectives : The relationship between season of birth and various physical and psychological outcomes was reported in many studies, although the underlying mechanism still remains unrecognized. The aim of this study was to explore the season‐of‐birth effect on body size in the sample of 1,148 eight‐year‐old Polish urban children and propose the mechanism responsible for this effect. Methods : The children were examined three times at their birthd…
Body height differentiation by season of birth
Published studies world wide demonstrate that measures of human development and health status vary depending on the month of birth but these patterns are not always consistent and sometimes even conflict. Direct factors related to the birth season that may significantly differentiate morphological and functional traits and mechanisms causing these relations have not been found so far. On the basis of cross-sectional material, gathered in the year…
Month‐of‐birth effect on height and weight in Polish rural children
This study investigated a hypothesis of dependence of child height and weight on the month of their birth. The sample comprised 1,241 subjects, 568 boys and 673 girls, age 6–20 years, from villages in Olsztyn Province, Northeast Poland. Individuals' height and weight data were standardized by sex and age to allow grouping of individuals born in the same month irrespective of their sex and age at examination. Subjects born in October to March prov…
