From Fragmented Records to Digital Insights
The archaeological record is inherently fragile, and excavation is, by nature, destructive. While the recording of excavation processes has improved significantly, many archaeological sites excavated over the past decades remain under-reported or unpublished. These sites often have incomplete excavation records, hand-drawn sketches, non-annotated photographs, and fragmented fieldnotes associated with them, posing a significant challenge for conte…
A Smile From the Past
This paper presents the first documented case of a fixed bone dental bridge in Portugal. This item was recovered alongside the remains of a young adult individual of indeterminate sex from the 19th century burial site of the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo in Porto, Portugal. Despite the remains being mostly complete and well preserved, the maxilla is edentulous and the mandible is missing, with only two loose mandibular teeth recovered. The crani…
Identifying Pre-Existing Ballistic Trauma in Burnt Bone
Distinguishing peri-mortem trauma from heat-induced trauma is often a challenging aspect of forensic anthropology casework where fire has been used as a means of concealing evidence. This paper aims to explore the extent to which peri-mortem ballistic trauma characteristics are still present after burning and whether they can be distinguished from heat-induced fractures. This research used Sus domesticus femora and ribs that had been manually def…
Examining the burial contexts and trauma patterns of fallen soldiers and civilian victims from the Spanish Civil War
Don’t Forget the Children! A Review of the Consequences of Natural Disasters and Epidemics on Childhood Health and Mortality in the Past
Natural disasters, pandemics, and epidemics have devastating impacts on communities. Poverty, famine, ill health, social isolation, and death are some of the consequences of such events. Transformations in culture, religion, political and economic stability, and other social aspects can also be attributed to catastrophic incidents. Whilst such events have been well documented and studied, little attention has been given to their effect on childre…
Determining the Postmortem Timing of Sharp Force Damage and the Pre-burning Condition of Burnt Bone
Unidentified Bodies in the Mexican Context
The discovery of clandestine graves has become a recurrent event during the last ten years in Mexico, and there could be more than roughly 2000 distributed all over the country (Guillen et al. 2018). Mass graves specifically are less well-known, reported, and addressed; they are located in municipal or state cemeteries which house unidentified bodies and of which there is no official census. An estimated 26,000 bodies are considered unidentified …
Cuerpos No Identificados en el Contexto Mexicano
El hallazgo de fosas clandestinas se ha convertido en un hecho recurrente durante los últimos diez años en México, estimándose que podrían existir más de 2000 repartidas por todo el país (Guillen et al. 2018). Menos conocidas, reportadas y atendidas son las fosas comunes, localizadas en panteones municipales o estatales, que albergan cuerpos de personas no identificados y de las cuales no hay un censo oficial. Se estima que existen unos 26000 cue…
Evidence of otitis media and mastoiditis in a Medieval Islamic skeleton from Spain and possible implications for ancient surgical treatment of the condition
Estudio antropológico de las alquerías de Benizahat y Zeneta (Vall d ́Uixó, Castellón). Una ventana a la vida rural andalusí
En época andalusí, la Vall d’Uixó (Castellón, España) se conformaba por una serie de alquerías que estuvieron habitadas por población islámica hasta el s. XVI. A través del análisis antropológico de 99 esqueletos procedentes de dos de estas alquerías, Benizahat y Zeneta, el presente estudio explora la posible existencia de diferencias en el estilo de vida de hombres y mujeres y un posible estrés ocupacional relacionado con la economía rural en es…
Assessing the reliability of microbial bioerosion features in burnt bones
The effect of diet and sociopolitical change on physiological stress and behavior in late Roman‐Early Byzantine (300–700 AD ) and Islamic (902–1,235 AD ) populations from Ibiza, Spain
Objectives This study evaluated chronological changes in physiological stress and levels of habitual loading of Ibizan populations from the Late Roman–Early Byzantine (LREB) to the Islamic period (300–1,235 AD) using measures of body size and bone cross‐sectional properties to compare Urban LREB, Urban Medieval Islamic, and Rural Medieval Islamic groups. It also explored the effect of diet, modeled using stable isotopes, on physiological stress l…
Using nutrient foramina to differentiate human from non-human long bone fragments in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology
). Macroscopic evaluation of location, direction and appearance, and micro-CT scanning in order to measure angle and shape of canal entrance, were applied in this study to differentiate human from non-human nutrient foramina on long bone shafts. Observations regarding the location and direction of nutrient foramina were proven to be different between human and non-human bones; however, these two features might not be exploitable in cases of highl…
The Islamic cemetery at 33 Bartomeu Vicent Ramon, Ibiza
Isotopic evidence for dietary diversity at the mediaeval Islamic necropolis of Can Fonoll (10th to 13th centuries CE), Ibiza, Spain
Forty years of ‘Archaeology for children’
The last 40 years have seen an increase in outreach activities, many primarily targeted to children, in archaeology. This outreach has benefited both the discipline of archaeology as well as public education. Several projects have pioneered the development of ‘archaeology for children’ in recent decades and have narrowed the gap between heritage and the public.An overview of these developments is presented in this paper. Particular reference is m…
Physical Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology in Europe
This paper provides an overview of the development and current practice of physical anthropology as relating to the treatment of archaeological skeletal remains in Europe. The evolution of physical anthropology as a discipline is covered in detail from the 18th century onwards, and current trends in education and research are also discussed. Additional topics include a synthesis of the legislative framework for studying human skeletal remains in …
An overview of age estimation in forensic anthropology
CONTEXT: Information on methods of age estimation in physical anthropology, in particular with regard to age-at-death from human skeletal remains, is widely available in the literature. However, the practicalities and real challenges faced in forensic casework are not always highlighted. OBJECTIVES: To provide a practitioner's perspective, regarding age estimation in forensic anthropology (both in the living as well as the dead), with an emphasis…

A High-Status Seventh-Century Female Burial From West Hanney, Oxfordshire
In 2009, a metal-detector find of a rare garnet-inlaid composite disc brooch at West Hanney, Oxfordshire, led to the excavation of an apparently isolated female burial sited in a prominent position overlooking the Ock valley. The burial dates to the middle decades of the seventh century, a period of rapid socio-political development in the region, which formed the early heartland of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex. The de luxe brooch links the …
Investigation of diachronic dietary patterns on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, Spain
We present sulfur isotope ratio measurements of bone collagen from animals ( n = 75) and humans ( n = 120) from five sites dating to four chronological periods (Chalcolithic, Punic, Late Antiquity‐Early Byzantine, and Islamic) from the Balearic Islands of Ibiza and Formentera, Spain. This study is a follow up to previously published δ 13 C and δ 15 N values by [Fuller et al.: Am J Phys Anthropol 143 (2010) 512–522] and focuses on using δ 34 S val…
These boots were made for walking”
As part of the road widening scheme between London and Dover, Oxford Archaeology South uncovered a large boundary ditch of Iron Age origin that contained Iron Age and Roman inhumations, adjacent to which was a small mid‐late Roman cemetery, interpreted as a rural cemetery for Romano‐British farmers. Grave goods in the cemetery were restricted to a few individuals with hobnailed boots. Bulk bone collagen isotopic analysis of 11 skeletons of Iron A…
Investigation of diachronic dietary patterns on the islands of Ibiza and formentera, Spain
To examine how dietary patterns may have changed in the western Mediterranean through time, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were measured on extracted bone collagen from fauna ( n = 75) and humans ( n = 135) spanning four distinct chronological periods: Chalcolithic (c.2100–1600 BC), Punic (6th–2nd/1st century BC), Late Antiquity‐Early Byzantine (4th–7th century AD), and Islamic (c.10th–13th century AD) on the islands of Ibiza and Forme…
