Microstructural findings on prenatally formed dental enamel support the assumption of an Iron age twin burial from Germany
Pronounced hyperostosis frontalis interna and co‐occurring lesions in the skull base suggestive of a pituitary tumor in a woman from medieval Germany
Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is an osseous overgrowth characterized by symmetrical, irregular bone apposition on the internal table of the frontal bone, which preferentially occurs in females. In 1719, Morgagni described the condition as one sign of a triad comprising HFI, hirsutism, and obesity (Morgagni's syndrome). The etiopathogenesis of HFI is largely unresolved, but the condition is frequently associated with metabolic, endocrine, a…
Skeletal remains of human perinatal individuals from the fortified Iberian Period settlement of Ca n'Oliver (6th century to 50 years BCE)
Burial customs in the Iberian Period (Iron Age II) included cremation. Only perinatal and newborn infants were buried directly beneath floor settlement. These infants represent the very few unburned human remains recovered from Iberian sites. The interpretation of these infant burials is in debate, focusing on whether they are unnatural or natural deaths. Our aim is to infer mortality patterns and developmental conditions of these individuals, in…
Assessment of physiological disturbances during pre‐ and early postnatal development based on microscopic analysis of human deciduous teeth from the Late Epipaleolithic site of Shubayqa 1 (Jordan)
OBJECTIVES: To study pre- and early postnatal tooth formation and to analyze the effects of physiological disturbances on enamel and dentin formation in deciduous teeth of infants from the Late Epipaleolithic (Natufian) site Shubayqa 1. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten deciduous teeth from six infants (ages at death between 21 and 239 days) were analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Marked prism cross-striations and an abnormal w…
Those who died very young—Inferences from δ 15 N and δ 13 C in bone collagen and the absence of a neonatal line in enamel related to the possible onset of breastfeeding
Objectives Stable isotope analysis has often been used in neonatal remains from archeological contexts to investigate the presence of a signal of breastfeeding and weaning in past populations. Tooth histology on the other hand might be used as an indicator of birth survival. This pilot study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using stable nitrogen (δ 15 N) and carbon (δ 13 C) isotope values from neonatal bone collagen to elucidate if values …
Cementoblastoma in a red deer (Cervus elaphus) from the Late Pleistocene of Rochedane, France
Missing perikymata”—fact or fiction? A study on chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ) canines
Recently, a lower than expected number of perikymata between repetitive furrow‐type hypoplastic defects has been reported in chimpanzee canines from the Fongoli site, Senegal (Skinner and Pruetz: Am J Phys Anthropol 149 (2012) 468–482). Based on an observation in a localized enamel fracture surface of a canine of a chimpanzee from the Taï Forest (Ivory Coast), these authors inferred that a nonemergence of striae of Retzius could be the cause for …
Echoes from birth - Mutual benefits for physical and forensic anthropology by applying increment counts in enamel of deciduous teeth for aging
The present study aims to compare metrical and morphological features of skeletal and dental development in two skeletons of very young infants from different archeological sites in Syria with the results of the microscopic approach of age-at-death estimation based on the neonatal line (NNL). Here, the presence ofa NNL is used as an indicator of birth survival and the duration of the lifespan post partum is assessed by counting prism cross-striat…
Hyperostosis frontalis interna – A marker of social status? Evidence from the Bronze-Age “high society” of Qatna, Syria
Developmental defects and postmortem changes in archaeological pig teeth from Fais Island, Micronesia
Insights from the inside
We studied the abnormalities in enamel microstructure associated with enamel hypoplasia in human teeth from the early medieval (5th–7th century AD) cemetery of Barbing, Germany, using light and scanning electron microscopy. The main aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that by analyzing the microstructure of fully formed enamel it is possible to reconstruct the reaction pattern of secretory ameloblasts to stress events leading to enamel hy…
