The use of Fisher’s exact test in contingency table analysis in palaeopathology
OBJECTIVE: The controversial nature of Fisher's exact test (FET) in contingency table analysis is well-known in most disciplines. Our purpose is to outline the major difficulties with the test that underlie debates over its use as an alternative to chi-square for sparsely populated contingency tables; to assess their implications for the use of FET in palaeopathology; and to suggest possible alternatives. METHODS: Review of FET in the statistical…

Which types of bony changes in the maxillary sinus indicate chronic sinusitis
OBJECTIVES: To determine which types of bone lesion (spicules, lobules, porous bone) in the maxillary sinus indicate sinusitis METHODS: Subadjacent dental disease is a cause of maxillary sinusitis; if a lesion type indicates sinusitis it should be more common above diseased posterior maxillary teeth than a lesion type that is not indicative of sinusitis. The study sample is a British Mediaeval human skeletal collection. RESULTS: Porous bone lesio…
Sex identification of a Late Iron Age sword and mirror cist burial from Hillside Farm, Bryher, Isles of Scilly, England
A burial dating to the 1st century BCE was found in 1999 in the Isles of Scilly, south-west England. As well as being the most richly furnished burial in the region, it has grave goods considered to have oppositional gender associations: martial items (sword, shield) plus a bronze mirror. The inability to determine sex from the poorly surviving skeletal remains, using morphological or the available genomic methods at the time of its discovery, ha…
A biocultural study of nasal fracture, violence, and gender using 19th-20th century skeletal remains from Portugal
Nasal fracture is usually described as the most common type of fracture of the facial bones, either alone or associated with other fractures. This work aims to study the nasal fracture among Portuguese individuals from the 19th and 20th centuries. The focus is on patterning in trauma in relation to gender and in the attempt to distinguish violent from accidental injury. The sample comprises 2023 (52.6% males, 47.4% females) individuals from three…
Quantifying Ship Shape in Archaeology: Evaluating 3D Geometric Morphometrics
The analysis of the archaeological remains of ships and boats, in particular hull shapes, have been central to wider analysis of performance, function, and significance within past societies. This article reviews established methods of quantifying shape in ship and boat archaeology—linear measurement ratios and form coefficients—and evaluates the utility of 3D geometric morphometrics (GM). The 3D shape of 30 vessels from north-west Europe dating …
