First Metatarsal Bones as Substitutes for Tibias in Harris Lines Studies on Past Populations
The first metatarsal bones (FMBs) are often better preserved than tibias in archeological samples.The aim of this study was to test the possibility of performing Harris lines studies on FMBs as stress markers instead of tibias.The Harris lines in 264 FMBs from a historic French burial site dating back to two burial periods were studied and compared with the Harris lines in FMBs from 4 historical and 2 Neolithic sites.The Harris lines in 57 tibias…
Palaeopathological and palaeogenetic study of 13 cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip with dislocation in a historical population from southern France
Dislocation of the hip can be consecutive to developmental dysplasia of the hip that is linked to a complex set of genetic and mechanical factors. The purpose of this report is to describe 13 cases of complete dysplastic hip dislocation observed in the skeletal remains of nine women exhumed from an historical gravesite dating from the 5th to 17th centuries in southern France. Despite the size of this palaeopathological series, which is the larges…

Description, significance and frequency of the acetabular crease of the hip bone
The acetabular crease is a linear indentation located in the antero-superior quadrant of the surface of the acetabulum at the level of the Byers Feature 17. Considered by palaeoanthropologists as a discrete trait, it has received scarce attention and the mechanisms underlying its formation and variations according to sex and age remain largely unclear. The purpose of this study, carried out on a large sample from a historic population in France, …
Post-mortem ablation of the heart
The skeletal remains of a medieval warrior were found in an 11th century tomb in the church of Ganagobie Priory in the French Department of Alpes de Haute Provence. Examination revealed evidence of multiple injuries including an arrow in the thorax, several sword blows, and a fractured sternum. The chest had been opened probably to allow removal of the heart after the last fatal blow to the skull. Post-mortem ablation of the heart was a widesprea…
Application pratique de la méthode d'estimation de l'âge au décès de Schmitt et Broqua (2000)
Cette étude tend à confronter la méthode d’estimation de l’âge au décès proposée par Schmitt et Broqua (2000) à la réalité archéologique de la population d’une nécropole historique. Le grand nombre de bassins étudiés (940) permet une approche statistique de l’estimation d’âge proposée, en particulier sur la conservation des os coxaux et sur les différences d’estimation entre les côtés droit et gauche. Finalement, la méthode semble assez bien adap…
L’occlusion dentaire chez les primates supérieurs. Application d’un modèle réduit d’occlusion
Brief communication
Noncarious tooth lesions (NCTL) are frequent findings in contemporary dental practices. Unlike other dental and periodontal diseases, NCTL have not been studied in an anthropological context. The purpose of the present study was to compare the prevalence of NCTL in three archaeological samples from the Copper Age and Middle Ages and in subjects examined in three dental practices. Both archaeological samples and dental‐practice subjects were from …

Étude par absorptiométrie de la densité minérale osseuse dans une population médiévale (nécropole de Notre Dame du Bourg, Digne, Alpes de Haute-Provence France, XIe-XIIIe et XVIe-XVIIIe s)
The purpose of the study was to determine post-menopausal bone mineral content in women living in a semi-rural region at two different archaeological periods, i.e. Medieval 11th century and pre-modern 17th century. The femurs of 18 women under the age of 30 years at death and 40 women over the age of 60 at death were collected from the Notre Dame du Bourg Necropolis in Digne, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. Measurements of the neck and Ward’s tr…
