The oldest known case of a mandibular condylar process fracture
Background: Mandibular neck fractures account for a substantial proportion of mandibular injuries in modern populations, but evidence for such trauma in archaeological contexts is extremely limited. Their rarity reflects both diagnostic challenges and high mortality historically associated with post-traumatic infections. Only few healed condylar injuries are known from historical (Roman and medieval) periods, making Neolithic cases exceptional. O…
A complex case of craniofacial defect with prosthetic management and co-occurring sellar enlargement in 18th-century Cracow, Poland
Background: The co-occurrence of craniofacial defects and endocrine-related skeletal alterations in archaeological individuals is extremely rare, offering unique opportunities to explore health, medical care, lived experience in past populations. Cleft palate is an uncommon finding and only exceptionally accompanied by prosthetic intervention. Morphological changes of sella turcica, which may reflect pituitary pathology, remain underreported.

Enlarged sella turcica in a male from 18th-century Cracow, Poland
Evidence of stress in primary incisors of Peruvian children from Chancay culture
A palatal prosthesis from archaeological research in the St Francis of Assisi church in Cracow (Poland)
A case of bilateral cleft palate with obturator prosthesis from XVIII century Cracow (Poland)
Time of occurrence and width of accentuated lines in the enamel of primary incisors from mediaeval skeletal remains from north-central Poland
Osteoporotic bone fractures and age-related bone loss in males inhabiting the Kujawy region in north-central Poland from the Neolithic to early modern times
Prenatal factors associated with the neonatal line thickness in human deciduous incisors
Accentuated lines in the enamel of primary incisors from skeletal remains
Physiological disruptions resulting from an impoverished environment during the first years of life are of key importance for the health and biological status of individuals and populations. Studies of growth processes in archaeological populations point to the fact that the main causes of childhood mortality in the past are to be sought among extrinsic factors. Based on this assumption, one would expect random mortality of children, with the dec…
Mother's trauma during pregnancy affects fluctuating asymmetry in offspring's face
OBJECTIVE: Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of paired body structures is considered to be a reliable measurement of developmental instability of humans. The aim of the study is to examine whether the mother's traumatic experience during pregnancy results in an increase of the level of fluctuating asymmetry of the structures of the face. METHODS: Average relative FA of six cephalometric traits was calculated in 269 boys aged 7-10 years from Lodz, Poland…
