The Identified Contemporary Skeletal Collections at the University of Granada
The aim of this paper is to introduce the contemporary collections housed in the Anthropology Laboratory of the University of Granada. The two collections (San José and Lucena) comprise N = 740 individuals of both sexes. All of them come from contemporary cemeteries and their dates of death are comprised between 1871 and 2005. The demographic profile indicates that the predominant age group is between 50 and 99 years of age ( n = 405), although i…
Validating Dental Histology for Perinatal Age Estimation Using Human Deciduous Teeth
Trace elements, maturation processes and diagenesis in human deciduous incisors
Reconstructing infant mortality in Iberian Iron Age populations from tooth histology
The Neonatal Line (NNL) of the tooth serves as a unique identifier, allowing us to distinguish whether a child survived birth. This line is essential for assessing the age at death of infants from skeletal remains found in archaeological contexts. Our primary objective is to accurately determine the age of infant intramural inhumations from the Iberian Iron Age (8th-1st centuries BC) by analyzing histological sections of tooth germs. Due to their…
Trepanations in non-adults of the 16th to 18th C. The osteological series of the Church of the Assumption of Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real, Spain)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of trepanations in an early Modern Age, skeletal collection documented in medical treatises but infrequently reported in osteological collections. MATERIALS: Analyses were conducted on 387 non-adult crania from the ossuary in the church of the Assumption of Valdepeñas (16th - 18th C.), Ciudad Real, Spain. METHODS: All complete or semi-complete crania of non-adults (aged 3-20 years) were macroscopically exami…
Sexual dimorphism of the maxillary postcanine dentition
The aim of this work was to study the sexual dimorphism of the occlusal surface of the maxillary postcanine dentition using geometric morphometric techniques. This study evaluated 139 individuals as part of five osteological collections from municipal cemeteries in the province of Granada (Spain). The landmarks and semilandmarks were analysed by principal components analysis, canonical variate analysis and discriminant analysis. Only the fourth m…
Brief communication
The objective of this study is to present the characteristics of a collection of identified infants and young children housed in the Laboratory of Anthropology of the University of Granada, Spain. The sample, which is still being enlarged, is currently composed of 230 complete skeletons aged from 5 months of gestation to 8 years, with a majority below 1 year. It mainly dates from the mid‐20th century. The state of preservation is very good, and a…
Mandibular Fracture and Dislocation in a Case Study from the Jewish Cemetery of Lucena (CÓRDOBA), in South Iberian Peninsula (8th–12th ad )
The skeletal remains of an adult female have been exhumed in an 11th century tomb in the mediaeval Jewish cemetery of Ronda Sur, in the city of Lucena (Córdoba, Spain). Examination of the skull and mandible revealed evidences of bilateral condylar fracture and dislocation. Lesions were observed macroscopically and radiology was used as a complementary method of scrutiny, especially in cases of unclear observation. Irregular morphology of the cond…
