  • Metric characteristics of human limb bones in Asian and Japanese populations

    Open AccessMasatomi Kudaka, Hitoshi Fukase et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2013Cited by: 10References: 18

    Twelve metric variables of the humerus, radius, femur, and tibia were investigated in 11 male samples from northeastern and eastern Asian populations. Variations among regions and correlations between latitude and respective measurements and indices were calculated and a principal component analysis was conducted to elucidate human limb bone characteristics. Significant correlation and marginally significant correlation were found for the maximum…

  • Degenerative changes of the spine in people from prehistoric Okhotsk culture and two ancient human groups from Kanto and Okinawa, Japan

    Open AccessYasushi Shimoda, Tomohito Nagaoka et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2011Cited by: 13References: 11

    Degenerative changes of the spine in people of the Okhotsk culture were investigated in adult human skeletal remains from 38 males and 34 females. These findings were then compared with those in materials obtained from the medieval Kamakura period and early-modern peasants on Kumejima, Ryukyu Islands. The three samples clearly showed different patterns. In the Okhotsk series, the cervical spine of each sex had most osteophytes on the vertebral bo…

  • Craniometric divergence history of the Japanese populations

    Open AccessHajime Ishida, Tsunehiko Hanihara et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2009Cited by: 16References: 16

    The Japan Islands, a small island chain on the western rim of the circum-Pacific region, have experienced several cultural contacts and human migrations from northern and eastern continental Asia. In this study, craniometric diversification of Asian peoples was assessed using the R-matrix method based on 21 metric traits in 25 representative male and female samples of prehistoric and modern northeastern and eastern Asians, including inhabitants o…

  • Influence of Squatting Posture on the Talus and Tibia in Early-modern Human Remains from Kumejima, Okinawa, Japan

    Open AccessShuichi Kuramoto, Tadahiko Fukumine et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2009Cited by: 1References: 3

    久米島近世の成人距骨193個体343側,脛骨151個体227側を用い,距骨蹲踞面形状を5型{ストレート型,内側関節面前方延長型,内側蹲踞面型(複合1),内側蹲踞面型+外側滑車面前方延長型(複合2),内側関節面前方延長型+外側滑車面前方延長型(複合3)}に,脛骨は外側蹲踞面有りと無しの2型に分類した。結果,1)男性は女性より,複合2と複合3の出現頻度が高い傾向にあり,複合2の右側で男性の頻度が有意に高い。2)左右差では,女性の複合1で右側の頻度が有意に高い。3)脛骨外側蹲踞面の出現頻度も男性が女性に比べて高い。4)脛骨外側蹲踞面が存在する時は,距骨に外側滑車面前方延長型を伴うことが多い。距骨および脛骨蹲踞面出現頻度から,久米島近世人骨では男性の方が女性よりも蹲踞姿勢を習慣的にとっていると考えられた。距骨蹲踞面形成を運動学的に解釈すると,内側蹲踞面は足関節が伸展(以下,背屈)することにより,距骨内側部と脛骨下端部に靭帯や関節包などの軟部組織がはさまれて形成される。足関節がさらに背屈すると,距…

  • Nonmetric cranial variation in human skeletal remains associated with Okhotsk culture

    Open AccessATSUKO KOMESU, Tsunehiko Hanihara et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2008Cited by: 25References: 16

    Population affinities and biological variation in human skeletal series associated with the Okhotsk culture from Hokkaido and Sakhalin Islands from the 5th to 12th centuries AD are investigated using 19 nonmetric cranial traits. The Okhotsk crania have a higher frequency of the supraorbital foramen than the Hokkaido Ainu and Jomon, while the frequency of the transverse zygomatic suture vestige in the Okhotsk is as high as in the Jomon. The mean m…

  • Variation in Talar Joint Facets of the Early-Modern Human Calcaneus from Kumejima, Okinawa

    Open AccessMasatomi Kudaka, Tadahiko Fukumine et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2008Cited by: 1References: 5

    久米島近世成人人骨222個体396側を用い,踵骨の距骨関節面形状を4型(連続型・くびれ型・分離型・前関節面欠損型),距骨の踵骨関節面形状も4型(連続型・角型・溝型・前関節面欠損型)に分類し分析を行った。結果,男女とも左右踵骨の距骨関節面形状で有意に連関を認めた。成人踵骨の距骨関節面形状の出現頻度に左右差および年齢差は認めなかった。性差では男性のくびれ型の出現頻度が有意に高く,連続型の出現頻度が有意に低い値となった。踵骨の距骨関節面形状と距骨の関節面との連関は,連続型と連続型,くびれ型と角型,前関節面欠損型と前関節面欠損型と,3型でほぼ1対1の対応関係を示し,分離型は距骨の角型と溝型の2つの関節面形状に対応した。前・中距骨関節面計測値より,関節面長(AB)は,連続型と比較し,くびれ型が有意に長く,深さ(C)は,連続型と比較し分離型が有意に深い値を示した。深さ示数(C/AB)も同様に連続型と比較して,分離型が有意に高い結果となった。踵骨の距骨関節面の分離型出現頻度は,現代の中部九州および近世…

  • Dental diseases of human skeletal remains from the early-modern period of Kumejima Island, Okinawa, Japan

    Open AccessKiwamu Irei, Naomi Doi et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2008Cited by: 8References: 12

    Human skeletal remains from the early-modern period (17th–19th centuries AD) of Kumejima Island, the Ryukyu Islands, were examined for dental disease, including dental caries, linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), antemortem tooth loss (AMTL), and dental calculus. The materials used in this study consisted of 386 adult individuals, 105 male, 89 female, and 192 of unknown sex. The highest rate of dental caries occurred in the adult females. Female physi…

  • Degenerative Diseases of the Spines of Early Modern Human Remains from Kumejima, Okinawa

    Open AccessKeiichi Moromizato, Tadahiko Fukumine et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2007Cited by: 3References: 11

    17世紀から19世紀の農耕民であると考えられる,久米島近世人骨(男性56個体,女性45個体)の変形性脊椎関節症の評価を行った。変形性脊椎関節症の頻度は,男女ともに腰椎が最も高く,女性においては重度化を認めた。次に変形性脊椎関節症を認めた部位として,女性は頚椎で,男性は胸椎下部と,男女間で異なった傾向を示した。変形性脊椎関節症の部位別頻度では,椎体前縁部が後縁部に比べ顕著に高く,男性の胸腰椎では右側縁部が左側縁部より高い傾向を示した。関節突起に関しては頚椎が最も頻度が高く,胸腰椎では低い傾向を示した。また,男性は頚椎,胸椎上部の一部に,女性では第11および第12胸椎で頻度が高く性差を認めた。主成分分析の結果でも,頚椎および腰椎の変形性関節症の頻度が高く,腰椎では椎体前縁部と左右縁部に,頚椎では椎体後方と椎間関節に関節症の頻度が高い傾向を確認した。久米島近世人骨の女性は,頚椎の椎体後方に変形性関節症の頻度が男性と比較して高いことから,民俗学者らによって示唆されている,頭上運搬による体幹直立位…

  • Nonmetric cranial variation of early modern human skeletal remains from Kumejima, Okinawa and the peopling of the Ryukyu Islands

    Open AccessTadahiko Fukumine, Tsunehiko Hanihara et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2006Cited by: 13References: 11

    Nonmetric cranial variation of the Ryukyuans, including the Kumejima population, and their neighboring peoples was investigated. Among the populations compared, incidences of supernumerary ossicles in the Ryukyu series were high. The frequency of the supraorbital foramen of the Kumejima series was shown to be intermediate between those of the East Asians and Ainu. Mean measures of divergence (MMDs) based on 16 nonmetric traits showed that Kumejim…

  • Preliminary Observations of Some Paleopathological Conditions in Historic and Modern Human Skeletal Remains from Ishigaki Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan

    Open AccessChosei Zukeran, Tadahiko Fukumine et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2002Cited by: 3References: 1

    This study investigates some aspects of skeletal and dental paleo-pathology, including cribra orbitalia, dental enamel hypoplasia, trauma, osteoarthritis, periostitis and osteomyelitis. The sample consists of the skeletal remains of 33 individuals from the medieval and early modern periods, found on Ishigaki Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan. High frequencies of cribra orbitalia and enamel hypoplasias suggest that the Ishigaki people may have experie…
