Urolithiasis in the early bronze age of the North Caucasus
Age-related disease or disease-related age? Perspectives for paleopathological research
OBJECTIVE: The interconnection of biological aging and disease throughout the life course profoundly affects almost every aspect of paleopathological research but is rarely explored. This paper presents a theoretical and practical framework for an informed research approach that explicitly acknowledges these complex interrelationships. METHODS: We discuss the existing concept of age-related disease and introduce the new concept of disease-related…
Testing the Digital Atlas of Ancient Rare Diseases (Daard) using a new case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease from Early Byzantine (500–700 CE) Olympia, Greece
OBJECTIVE: The first case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) in Greece is presented. LCPD, a rare disease, is discussed using the Digital Atlas of Ancient Rare Diseases (DAARD), which tests the benefits of the database for diagnosing and contextualizing the new case with 42 archaeological cases of LCPD recorded in the DAARD. MATERIALS: A 30-40-year-old, probable male individual was found at the archaeological site of Olympia, Greece, dating to …
Massive periostosis in a child from Neolithic Gebel es-Silsileh, Egypt
In 2015 a surprising find of human bone fragments from a child was made in a collection of the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, Berlin. These bone fragments from Southern Egypt date to 3400-3300 BC and represent the distal parts of both femora and the proximal parts of both tibiae (bones around the knee joint). The bones have a specific appearance, probably indicating a systemic disease. Due to the incomplete state of the skeletal remains,…
Ancient DNA analysis of rare genetic bone disorders
Towards a definition of Ancient Rare Diseases (ARD)
OBJECTIVE: This study discusses the challenges and possibilities of establishing a definition for Ancient Rare Diseases (ARD) in a probable case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) from the Bronze Age cemetery Kudachurt 14, situated in the Northern Caucasus. MATERIALS: We investigated the skeletal remains of a male aged 35-45 years at death. For comparison we examined other males buried at Kudachurt 14 (n = 24) and reviewed 22 LCPD cases from th…
Fibro-osseous processes (FOPs) of the craniofacial skeleton
Discrete, small, roundish lesions of localized porous bone can be occasionally seen in the craniofacial skeleton. Such lesions are rarely mentioned and only occur as an incidental discovery being assigned to plenty of diagnoses. As an example, such multiple small lesions of the facial skeleton in a well-preserved skeleton of a 40-60 year old male of the Hunno-Sarmatian Period from Kazakhstan, are discussed. Some of the lesions were examined by di…
Benign fibro-osseous lesion of the mandible in a Middle Bronze Age skeleton from Southern Russia
An accident at work? Traumatic lesions in the skeleton of a 4th millennium BCE “wagon driver” from Sharakhalsun, Russia
Differential diagnosis of a fused wrist with a partially destroyed capitate from Kazakhstan (1st–3rd century AD)
You must keep going’ – Musculoskeletal system stress indicators of prehistoric mobile pastoralists in Western China
New cases of trepanations from the 5th to 3rd millennia BC in Southern Russia in the context of previous research
OBJECTIVES: It is a big challenge to diagnose the motives behind trepanations in prehistoric crania. Surgical-therapeutic attempts may be apparent by the presence of fractures, however, ritual or nonmedical motives are rarely supported by visible evidence in the bones. This article presents data on the trepanations of several individuals from South Russia dating to the Eneolitic and Bronze Age that may indicate a ritual procedure. In these crania…
