A Review of Research Aims for Historical Anatomical Skeletal Collections in the United States
Reliability of reconstructed population survivorship from transition analysis age estimation
Skeletal age markers are often used to estimate age-at-death to reconstruct population survivorship in the past, which is essential to draw conclusions about population health, fertility, and mortality. Transition Analysis age estimation was developed to address common issues facing traditional age estimation methods such as age mimicry and broad ranges for middle and older aged adults. However, some studies have shown Transition Analysis' limita…
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 accuracy of age estimation using transition analysis in the Hamann‐Todd collection
OBJECTIVES: Reconstructing demography of past populations using skeletal data is challenging when analyzing adults because the process of biological aging does not always reflect the individual's chronological age. A proposed solution to address the limitations of traditional age estimation methods is transition analysis (TA), a multifactorial method of age estimation. However, despite its methodological refinement, TA has varying degrees of accu…
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 …
