Mylohyoid and jugular foramen bridging in pre‐columbian chileans
The occurrence of mylohyoid groove bridging and jugular foramen bridging was determined in a population of adult Pre‐Columbian Chileans. Two hundred forty‐one crania (110 males, 131 females) were examined for jugular foramen bridging and 464 mandibles (252 males and 212 females) were observed for mylohyoid groove bridging. The overall incidence of jugular foramen bridging was 14.94%, with females showing a higher occurrence (18.32%) than males (1…
Maternal mortality in pre‐Columbian Indians of Arica, Chile
A study of female mummies representing seven pre‐Columbian Andean populations of Arica, Chile, dating from 1300 B.C. (Azapa phase) to A.D. 1400 (Gentilar phase), disclosed that 18 (14% of the total) had died from childbirth‐complicated death (CCD). The majority of these individuals appear to have died during puerperium, three of them without complete delivery. Higher rates of CCD were found in the earlier cultural phases (1300 B.C.–A.D. 600) afte…
Chagas' disease in pre‐Columbian South America
The quest for the origin and dispersion of Chagas' disease, the second most important vector‐borne disease in Latin America, has epidemiological, immunological, and genetical implications. Conjectures based on accounts of chroniclers, reviews of the archaeological literature and the present distribution of triatomine bugs, the vectors of the disease, held that the origin of the adaptation of Triatoma infestans (aspecies of the subfamily Triatomin…
Ancient Inborn Facial Clefts and NonodontogeniC Fissural Cysts
Unusual, apparently congenital facial fusion defects in six ancient skulls from the Upper Missouri River Basin and southeastern United States are presented and discussed. The similarity between nonodontogenic fissural defects and overt and occult lip and palate clefting is explored. Some specimens in other collections now labeled “dental abscess” or “dental tumor” may represent these anomalies. Because of the similarity in embryology and anatomy,…
The pre‐Columbian dog from Arica, Chile
Burials and mummies of dogs from the Arica, Chile, area are described. It is concluded that these dogs were brought to this area 2500 years ago by shepherds from the highlands and are still present, relatively unchanged
Crown dimensions of deciduous teeth from Pre-Columbian Peru
The mean mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters are presented for the deciduous teeth from Pre-Columbian Peru. Generally, the deciduous teeth from Pre-Columbian Peru are larger in most dimensions than the deciduous teeth of modern populations of European descent and smaller than those of modern Australian aboriginals. Differences in crown dimensions between the Pre-Columbian Peruvian deciduous teeth and those from Prehistoric Inamgaon and Mesolit…
A study of torus palatinus and torus mandibularis in Pre‐Columbian Peruvians
An incidence of tori lower than previously reported was found in a population from Pre‐Columbian Peru. It is suggested that the prevalence of tori along with other genetic markers with racial variation may be used to help identify and define a population group
Diaphragmatic hernia associated with strangulation of the small bowel in an Atacamena mummy
This is the second case of a diaphragmatic herniafrom 200 autopsies of mummies of Atacamena Indians found in northern Chile. This case is noted in an individual who died in the third century A.D. as a result of strangulation of two loops of the jejunum that entered the thoracic cavity. The herniation was probably congenital in nature
The mylohyoid bridge of Pre‐Columbian Peruvians
The frequency of expression of the mylohyoid bridge was studied in the skeletal remains of 122 Pre‐Columbian Peruvians. The incidence in this population was found to be 17.6% as compared to an incidence of 15.4% found in a similar size sample population of American Negroes and a 16.1% incidence in a population of American Whites from the Terry Collection. No significant differences as to the incidence of the mylohyoid bridge were found as to the …
Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis in pre‐Columbian Chileans
Two cases of gallbladder disease found in Chilean mummies are presented. The cholesterol gallstones in these cases produced in one individual a localized peritonitis and in the other a probable duct obstruction. No cases of this disease have been seen in Peruvian mummies while in Chile it seems quite common, suggesting some environmental factor in the etiology
ABO blood groups in Chilean and Peruvian mummies. II. Results of agglutination‐inhibition technique
ABO blood groups of Peruvian and Chilean mummies were determined with the agglutination‐inhibition method. In Peru all ABO blood groups were found in the period from 3000 B.C. to 1400 A.D.; from this period to 1650 only A and O were seen. In Chile no B or AB was noted either in pre‐Columbian or Colonial mummies. This confirms the archeological concept that the Chilean Indian was culturally as well as genetically different from the Peruvian Indian…
A comparative study on the dental health status of five Precolumbian Peruvian cultures
In a survey of dental health status of ancient Southern Peru, 101 skeletal remains were studied from five cultures: Paracas, Nazca, Tiahuanaco, Ica, and Inca. The Paracas and Ica cultures exhibited more missing antemortem teeth per mandible than the other cultures. Frequency of missing one or more third molars was less than expected and not as high as reported in peoples of Mongoloid heritage. The Paracas, Ica and Nazca, “coastal” cultures had a …
ABO blood groups in Peruvian mummies. I. An evaluation of techniques
Blood groups of Peruvian mummies of known origin were determined by three different methods: agglutination‐inhibition, induction of antibody production and mixed cell agglutination. The three techniques gave identical results, but the last two were useful in establishing the presence of H (O) antigen, while the first technique would not. The results indicate the presence of A, B, AB and O blood groups in America prior to known European contact. T…
A case of hookworm infestation in a precolumbian American
A case of hookworm infestation in a Tiahuanaco mummy dating from around 900 A.D. is presented. The worms found in the small intestine were identified as Ancylostoma duodenale . This is the first recorded case of hookworm infestation in the Americas prior to the coming of Europeans
A case of Carrion's disease associated with human sacrifice from the Huari culture of Southern Peru
A case of Carrion's disease in the verruga phase from a mummy of the Tiahuanaco culture of Southern Peru is reported. The characteristics of the disease are described as well as the bacterium. The man was apparently sacrificed and certain organs used in rituals
A radiographic approach to Childhood illness in precolumbian inhabitants of Southern Peru
A total of 108 individuals from six different cultures found in the Department of Ica, Peru, were studied for the presence of Harris's Lines. Such lines or “bone scars” are formed due to cessation of bone growth due to episodes of starvation or illness and possibly other causes. These individuals covered a span of time of nearly 2,600 years. The individuals from mountain cultures had fewer lines and possibly a healthier childhood than those from …
