This article aims to describe a paleopathological case consistent with a paediatric hip joint trauma, discussing its aetiologies and lifelong implications, such as limb asymmetry and osteoarthritis. The case studied is a well-preserved skeleton of a female individual (Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, Universidade de Lisboa) who died in Lisbon in 1954, at the age of 54. The bone changes were macroscopic and radiologically studied, …
A rare femoral heterotopic bone formation in a 14th-19th century female skeleton from Constância (Portugal)
Is it a cystic or a cyst-like condition? Discussing the etiology of an unusual large mandibular lesion in a Roman skeleton from Quinta da Torrinha/Quinta de Santo António (Almada, Portugal)
Is differential diagnosis attainable in disarticulated pathological bone remains? A case-study from a late 19th/early 20th century necropolis from Juncal (Porto de Mós, Portugal)

Exploring the relationship between entheseal changes and physical activity
Analyses of entheseal changes (EC) in identified skeletal samples employ a common research strategy based on the comparison between occupations grouped on the basis of shared biomechanical and/or social characteristics. Results from this approach are often ambiguous, with some studies that point to differences in EC between occupational samples and others failing to provide evidence of behavioral effects on EC. Here we investigate patterns of EC …
A possible case of acquired syphilis at the former Royal Hospital of All-Saints (RHAS) in Lisbon, Portugal (18th century)
Between the years of 1999 and 2001, during the excavation of the Praça da Figueira (Lisbon, Portugal), several human osteological remains from various chronological periods were discovered. Amongst them several skeletons are known to be related with the Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos (Royal Hospital of All Saints - RHAS), which had an important role. The hospital history begun in 1492 and ended in 1755 largely as a consequence of the Lisbon ear…
Categorization of Occupation in Documented Skeletal Collections
Studies on identified skeletal collections yield discordant results about the association between osseous changes and activity. These dissonances can be ascribed to several factors: the variability of the osseous changes selected for observation, the inconsistency of their interpretative criteria and the inhomogeneous classification of occupation, here used as synonym of profession, within each study. The need to standardize the concept of occupa…
Evidence of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in individuals from the Coimbra Skeletal Identified Collection (Portugal)
The Coimbra Workshop in Musculoskeletal Stress Markers (MSM)
The Workshop in Musculoskeletal Stress Markers (MSM): limitations and achievements in the reconstruction of past activity patterns, was held at the \nUniversity of Coimbra, in Portugal (2nd – 3rd July 2009). The chief goal of the \norganizing committee was to provide a productive environment where researchers could discuss the methodologies and terminology employed for the study of MSM \nas well as assessing how well these enthesopathies serve as…
Testemunhos de violência nos ossos humanos
O trauma é responsável por alguma incapacidade física entre os humanos actuais, tal como terá sido entre os nossos ancestrais. Apesar desta presença constante, a interpretação das lesões e a respectiva etiologia é bastante difícil em populações do passado, senão mesmo impossível, principalmente no que concerne ao estudo da violência interpessoal. Neste trabalho, as evidências de trauma foram investigadas num esqueleto bem preservado, exumado da n…
