Do the regions of the spinal column record stress differently? An analysis of diminished growth in the vertebral neural canal
Ilium morphological variation during growth in forager populations
Human pelvic morphology has often been described in terms of an evolutionary compromise between bipedalism, encephalization, and obstetrics; however, recent research has argued that the pelvis is more biologically plastic than previously thought. Variation in pelvic form exists among adult modern human populations, but the factors influencing this variation, and when it manifests during growth, remain to be understood. The aim of this study is to…
Does age estimated from teeth forming in different early life periods show differential discrepancy with known age
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to explore growth discrepancies in the dentition of impoverished children and examine how dental development is impacted by environmental influences throughout childhood, thereby identifying which teeth are more sensitive to the effects of biocultural factors and are consequently less useful to predict age. METHODS: Length measurements of developing teeth (deciduous and permanent) were taken from individuals o…
Chronological and regional variation in developmental stress and behavior of Early and Late Neolithic Cis-Baikal hunter-gatherer juveniles
The people behind the samples
PURPOSE: Skeletons sampled for ancient human DNA analysis are sometimes complete enough to provide information about the lives of the people they represent. We focus on three Later Stone Age skeletons, ca. 2000 B.P., from coastal KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, whose ancient genomes have been sequenced (Schlebusch et al., 2017). METHODS: Bioarchaeological approaches are integrated with aDNA information. RESULTS: All skeletons are male. Dental develo…
Regional Continuity and Local Challenges to Resilience among Holocene Hunter-Gatherers of the Greater Cape Floristic Region, South Africa
The Developing Forager
Studies of regional and chronological variation in skeletal markers of physical activity in past hunter-gatherer populations typically focus on adults, however, patterns of bone strength develop predominantly during childhood and adolescence. Ethnographic studies suggest that differences in environment and subsistence strategy would have brought about variation in how children grew up to be productive foragers capable of procuring food for themse…
Body Mass Estimates in Dogs and North American Gray Wolves Using Limb Element Dimensions
Body mass is a key biometric that is useful in interpreting many aspects of an animal's life history. For many species, including dogs and wolves, methods for estimating body mass are not well developed. This paper assesses the utility of using limb dimensions to predict body mass in dogs and North American wolves. Regression analyses are utilized here to explore the correlations between limb dimensions and body masses of modern dogs and wolves, …
Sacred Place in Early Medieval Neoplatonism
Discernment of mortality risk associated with childbirth in archaeologically derived forager skeletons
An obstetric dilemma may have been a persistent characteristic of human evolution, in which the bipedal female's pelvis is barely large enough to accommodate the birth of a large-brained neonate. Evidence in the archaeological record for mortality risk associated with childbirth is rare, especially among highly mobile, immediate return hunter-gatherer populations. This research explores the idea that if excess mortality is associated with first p…

Bioarchaeological Evidence for the Basis of Small Adult Stature in Southern Africa
Natural selection for small adult body size may be directly linked to various factors that differ by global region. Indirect selection through early cessation of growth has been postulated for pygmy groups. Small adult body size was maintained throughout the Holocene by the ancestors of the KhoeSan groups, Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers who lived in the coastal and near-coastal regions of South Africa. Contextual information from 134 burials of…
Secondary osteon and Haversian canal dimensions as behavioral indicators
Variation in the size of structures within mature cortical bone is relevant to our understanding of apparent differences between human samples, and it is relevant to the development of histologically based age-estimation methods. It was proposed that variation may reflect effects of physical activity, through biomechanical and/or metabolic mechanisms. If these factors are local, femoral osteon area (On.Ar) should be more histologically variable t…
