Variations in epiphyseal fusion and persistence of the epiphyseal line in the appendicular skeleton of two identified modern (19th–20th c.) adult Portuguese and Italian samples
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work is to study age, sex, and population variations in epiphyseal fusion and persistence of the epiphyseal line in the appendicular skeleton of two identified modern (19th-20th c.) adult skeletal samples, using a specifically designed macroscopic scoring method. The use of epiphyseal closure and persistence of the epiphyseal line as an adult-age marker is also discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study examined 981 …
Variation of the degree of sacral vertebral body fusion in adulthood in two European modern skeletal collections
A new standardized scoring method was used to study age variation of the degree of fusion of the ventral face of the sacral vertebral bodies (SVF) in 904 adult skeletons of both sexes from two identified modern samples (20th c.): Frassetto collections (Museum of Anthropology, University of Bologna, Italy) and Colecção de Esqueletos Identificados (Museum of Anthropology, University of Coimbra, Portugal). SVF was scored for each fusion site (betwee…
Peri mortem cranial injuries from a medieval grave in Saint Peter's Cathedral, Bologna, Italy
In 1999, renovation work in the 16th century crypt in Saint Peter's Cathedral, Bologna (Italy), uncovered a capuchin-type grave probably from the Early Middle Ages, containing commingled bones belonging to several individuals. A study of the osteoarchaeological material by the Laboratory of Bioarchaeology and Forensic Osteology of the University of Bologna identified two skulls of young males, both presenting signs of direct traumatic lesions pro…
Continuity or discontinuity of the life‐style in central Italy during the Roman imperial age‐early middle ages transition: Diet, health, and behavior
Dento‐alveolar pathologies and alterations (dental wear, caries, abscesses, ante mortem tooth loss (AMTL), calculus, hypoplastic defects, and chipping) and skeletal markers of health ( cribra orbitalia and periostitis) were analyzed in two skeletal samples from the necropolises of Quadrella (I–IV c. AD) and Vicenne‐Campochiaro (VII c. AD) in the Molise region of central Italy. The aim was to determine if the Roman Imperial Age‐Early Middle Ages t…
Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna and sex identification of two skeletons from the Early Middle Ages necropolis of Vicenne-Campochiaro (Molise, Italy)
Lesions attributable to Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna (HFI) were examined in two skulls (from graves 100 and 113) from the Early Middle Ages necropolis of Vicenne-Campochiaro (Molise, Italy). Both skeletons were of older individuals and it was difficult to sex them using standard anthropological methods. We discuss the sex identification of the skeletons in relation to the presence of HFI, as well as the usefulness of this pathological condition…
Cribra orbitalia and cribra cranii in Roman skeletal remains from the Ravenna area and Rimini (I-IV century AD)
Cribra orbitalia and cribra cranii are considered good indicators of the health and nutritional status of ancient populations, as their presence is often associated with chronic acquired anaemia. The distribution of these lesions in two Roman samples from the Ravenna area and Rimini was considered as a measure of health in relation to their respective environments. Enamel hypoplasia was also assessed as it is symptomatic of childhood physiologica…
Cranial trepanation in two skulls of early medieval Italy
