Bioarchaeology, Activism and Social Justice: Equitable and Sustainable Global Futures
Conclusions/Afterword: Towards Becoming an Activist Academic
Anthropology cannot remain passive within a world facing intersecting crises of climate change, inequality, pandemics, nationalism, AI-driven misinformation, and threats to human rights and academic freedom. Drawing on the themes of the chapters in this volume, we emphasize anthropology’s capacity to integrate scientific and humanistic perspectives, address ethical dilemmas, and contribute to social transformation. The chapter outlines strategies…
Ethical futures in biological anthropology: Research, teaching, community engagement, and curation involving deceased individuals
Although ethical reforms in biological anthropology have gained ground in recent years, there is still a scarcity of ethical standards for work involving historical documented collections (HDCs) at US museums and universities. These collections of deceased individuals were created in the late 19th to mid‐20th centuries under anatomy laws that targeted socially marginalized communities and allowed for the dissection of these individuals without th…
Intersectionality and trauma analysis in bioarchaeology
Intersectionality, the theory named by Kimberlé Crenshaw, outlines how multiple elements of an individual's social identity overlap to create and preserve societal inequalities and discrimination. Recently bioarchaeology's engagement with intersectionality has become increasingly explicit, as the field recognizes the lived experience of multiple axes of an individual's identity. Evidence of trauma can remain observable in an individual's skeleton…
Osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and hip fracture: A case study from the Terry collection
Perimortem fracture manifestations and mortality after hip fracture in a documented skeletal series
A Large-Scale Palaeopathological Study of Hip Fractures from Post-Medieval Urban England: Palaeopathology of Hip Fractures
Hip fractures have high incidence rates in many current groups and are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and considerable expenditure. Although hip fractures associated with significant traumatic events can occur at any age, many hip fractures occur in older adults. To date, few hip fractures have been reported from archaeological skeletal material, and a number of hypotheses have been suggested for this. This research presents a compreh…
The Retromolar Space: A Morphological Curiosity Observed Amongst the Protohistoric Arikara and Mandan
The retromolar space (RMS), defined in palaeoanthropology as a space posterior to the third molar, between the distal edge of the tooth and the anterior margin of the ascending ramus when the mandible is held in lateral view, has been described as an autapomorphic trait unique to Neanderthals despite its presence in anatomically modern humans. This study examined RMS prevalence in a sample of protohistoric Arikara and Mandan Amerindians to determ…
Patterns of trauma and violence in 19th-century-born African American and Euro-American females
Race, health, and disease in 19th‐century‐born males
This study analyzed skeletal health disparities among African American and Euro‐American males of low socioeconomic status born between 1825 and 1877. A total of 651 skeletons from the Cobb, Hamann‐Todd, and Terry anatomical collections were macroscopically examined for skeletal pathologies related to dietary deficiencies and disease. Individuals were separated into age, ancestry, birth (Antebellum, Civil War, Pre‐Reconstruction, and Reconstructi…
Cultural Patterns of Trauma among 19th-Century-Born Males in Cadaver Collections
Comprehending violence among bioarchaeological and historical groups is a topic of recent interest among biological anthropologists. This research examines trauma among African American and Euro-American males of low socioeconomic status born between 1825 and 1877. A total of 651 male skeletons from the Cobb, Terry, and Hamann-Todd anatomical collections were macroscopically evaluated for skeletal trauma, based on the presence of fractures and we…
