A possible case of spondyloarthropathy in a prehistoric Japanese skeleton
Palaeopathology helps to define the migration of past diseases. Genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of spondyloarthropathy (SpA). We report skeletal remains with SpA from the Jomon period in Japan. The skeleton is of a female who died at a young adult age. The skeleton had characteristic features seen in SpA as follows: (1) polyarticular arthritis; (2) erosions accompanying some bone formation; (3) enthesial ossificat…
First palaeopathological example of Kienböck's disease from early modern Sakhalin Ainu
A disorder of the carpal lunate has been diagnosed as Kienböck's disease in a skeleton of a middle‐aged Ainu male that was excavated from Sakhalin Island, northeast Asia. The bone lesion is primarily and unilaterally associated with the right wrist, where the right carpal lunate is collapsed and the radiocarpal joint shows degenerative arthritis. Interestingly, the left arm is more robust than the right and the left elbow shows considerable osteo…
Spinal degenerative lesions and spinal ligamentous ossifications in ancient Chinese populations of the Yellow River Civilization
Rheumatological diseases, whether inflammatory or degenerative, are ubiquitous among modern Asian people but very few palaeopathological studies have been performed in Asia on this subject. Since 1996, we have been carrying out a palaeoepidemiological survey of rheumatic diseases in ancient Chinese and Japanese skeletal populations. Findings on the spinal column in ancient Chinese populations (ca. 5000 bc–ad 1644) in Henan Province (centre of the…
Healed bone fractures in a jomon skeletal population from the Yoshigo shell mound, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Healed bone fractures were quantitatively analyzed in an ancient Japanese population. The sample studied consisted of the skeletal remains of 160 adult individuals from the Yoshigo shell mound (ca. BP 3400-2400), Aichi prefecture, Japan. Healed fractures were diagnosed from the presence of callus formation and/or angular deformity. Fractures were frequently seen in small bones of the hand and foot such as the metacarpals, rather than in large lon…
Erosive peripheral polyarthritis in ancient Japanese skeletons
The antiquity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still in dispute, due to the difficulty of conclusively differentiating peripheral polyarthritis, especially from spondyloarthropathy, in archaeological populations. In view of the importance of genetic factors in developing spondyloarthropathy and of the far lower prevalence of the disease in modern Japanese, a rarity of peripheral polyarthritis would be anticipated in the ancient Japanese population…

Erosive Arthritis of the Foot with Characteristic Features of Tophaceous Gout in the Jomon Skeletal Population
We describe the oldest evidence of gout from skeletal remains found in Asia. A middle-aged male skeleton excavated from the shell mound at Ohta in Onomichi-city, Hiroshima prefecture, Western Japan (the middle Jomon period: 4500-3500 BP), showed erosive arthritis in the forefoot. The characteristic feature of the erosions observed in the present skeleton is a periosteal bone apposition at the outer aspect of the involved cortex and a “punched-out…
