Markers of tuberculous infection in 17th-century Lucca (central Italy): An investigation through granular impressions on the endocranial surface
Evaluating external auditory exostosis severity using ImageJ: A clinical method applied to archaeological remains
This study aimed to evaluate if ImageJ could be used to quantify the severity of external auditory exostoses (EAEs) in archaeological human skeletal remains. Thirty‐seven external auditory canals (EACs) with EAEs present (22 right, 15 left) of 100% completeness derived from individuals from archaeological sites on Cyprus dating from the Neolithic to the Roman period were available for analyses. EAC area and EAE area were measured three times as a…
The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition (The Söderberg Expedition): Excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke autumn 2021 and spring 2022
In 2021 and 2022, the 13th and 14th seasons of excavations at the Late Bronze Age site of Hala Sultan Tekke were carried out in Area A, and as a result of these investigations numerous tombs were found. These tombs were threatened by farming. Four magnetic anomalies, indicated in the 2017 survey magnetometer map, were investigated. They represent three tombs, L198, TT, and UU, and the probable Offering Pit SS-S. The minimum number of individuals …

Disposed young: Nonadult element representation and bone positioning in complex mortuary programmes in Chalcolithic Cyprus
Nonadult inhumations have the potential to give insights into the attitudes of past societies toward age. Adult individuals have been afforded complex mortuary programs in Chalcolithic cemeteries in western Cyprus. This study explores what mortuary practices applied to nonadult individuals at Souskiou‐ Laona , a Middle Chalcolithic site with complex mortuary programs that include articulated, semi‐articulated, and fully commingled individuals. Th…
External auditory exostoses, repetitive aquatic activity and increasing social complexity in Chalcolithic Cyprus: Specialists of the sea
External auditory exostoses (EAEs) are dense osseous hyperostoses that protrude into the external auditory canal and are associated with repetitive aquatic activity. Clinically, the aetiology of EAEs is attributed to prolonged exposure to cold water through activities including swimming, surfing, diving, kayaking and sailing. The prevalence and distribution of EAEs within a particular archaeological context informs on human-environment interactio…

First metacarpal fractures from Chalcolithic Cyprus: A fall or a fist
Hand fractures are frequently observed in archaeological human skeletal remains. Despite this, there is an absence of human bioarchaeological studies presenting adequate description, differential diagnoses and aetiologies of first metacarpal (MCI) fractures. This study aims to characterise MCI trauma from the Middle Chalcolithic (ca. 3000 bc ) cemetery of Souskiou‐ Laona in south‐western Cyprus, an island in the Eastern Mediterranean. Fifty‐eight…
