The decade under review: Recent trends and challenges in the use of macroscopic age‐at‐death estimation methods in bioarchaeology
Accurate and precise age‐at‐death estimation methods are critical when studying past lifeways. However, adult age‐at‐death estimation is often difficult because of diverse physiologies, preservation, and timing of biological processes in target and reference populations. These challenges can complicate the comparison of results between studies, which can also be impacted by the training and method preference of each bioarchaeologist. In this pape…
The effectiveness of skeletal age-estimation in the reconstruction of population survivorship in post-medieval Dublin
Bioarchaeologists have long used age estimates from skeletal remains to draw conclusions about past lifeways and sociobiological phenomena such as health, stress, fertility, and frailty, among others. However, the estimation of age from skeletal remains is complicated by a multitude of well-documented challenges including age mimicry, variation in degeneration, preservation, and accuracy between anatomical regions, individuals, and populations. T…
Beyond the Biocultural Approach: A Quantitative Assessment of the Use of Theory in Bioarchaeological Assessment of the Use of Theory in Bioarchaeological Literature from 2007 to 2018
A primary goal of bioarchaeology is to reconstruct the biocultural context of past societies, which is frequently achieved by incorporating interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks to help contextualize the skeletal record. This article reviews explicit uses of theory in 1,593 articles published in 12 English-language peer-reviewed journals between 2007 and 2018 to explore how bioarchaeologists have recently engaged with various theoretical frame…
Adult paleopathology as an indicator of childhood social roles: A case study of Perthes disease in a native Ohio female
Recently, the study of children has played an important role in the development of bioarchaeology. Particularly, researchers have long been concerned with the timing of growth and development and with childhood morbidity and mortality. These studies have helped to drive the field of bioarchaeology forward by elucidating the effects of culture on biological variation, including health, fertility, and, ultimately, human evolution. Building on this …
Aging methods and age-at-death distributions: Does transition analysis call for a re-examination of bioarchaeological data
Age estimation of adult skeletal remains is notoriously difficult because the degenerative change of adult skeletons is far more variable across individuals, populations, and anatomical regions than the developmental changes that occur during growth. Additionally, age mimicry makes it difficult to discern between the true population age structure and the age structure produced as an artifact of the reference sample. Transition analysis is an age …
A third molar from Rathfarnham, Dublin, and the patterning cascade model
The patterning cascade model (PCM) explains variation in cusp morphology in mammalian teeth. According to the PCM, cusp development is constrained by the time and space available for morphogenesis and by signalling molecules that create inhibitory zones around enamel knots, thereby preventing the formation of new enamel knots within a circumscribed region surrounding previously formed enamel knots. New enamel knots can only form outside of these …

Impacts of abstinence education on teen sexual activity, risk of pregnancy, and risk of sexually transmitted diseases
This paper examines the impacts of four abstinence-only education programs on adolescent sexual activity and risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Based on an experimental design, the impact analysis uses survey data collected in 2005 and early 2006 from more than 2,000 teens who had been randomly assigned to either a program group that was eligible to participate in one of the four programs or a control group that was not.…
