  • Optically Stimulated Luminescence (Osl) Mortar Dating Inter-Comparison Study. The Second Round of Modis, Mortar Dating Inter-Comparison Study

    Open AccessPetra Urbanová, Laura Panzeri et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2024

    After an intercomparison age experiment carried out in the framework of the first MODIS (MOrtar Dating Inter-comparison Study) project, the results showed general agreement both between optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating laboratories and with radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating results. As the needs for the selection of samples convenient for an inter-comparison are not the same between 14 C and OSL, for the second running, it has been decided…

  • Mismeasurement of the virtual human body: Analysing Error of Landmark Acquisition

    Open AccessDominik Černý, Petra UrbanováARTICLEAnthropological Review2024References: 45

    Modern physical anthropology increasingly employs non-invasive methods that use 3D models representing the human body. Frequently, these are 3D models of a person's physical appearance, i.e., face or body. A traditional approach to analyse these records is to process discrete points (landmarks, feature points) collected manually on the model surface. The digitization of landmarks and associated errors have been sufficiently studied in the context…

  • Le site paléochrétien Notre-Dame de la Place à Bordeaux: Nouveaux acquis chronologiques

    Open AccessPetra Urbanová, Pierre Régaldo-Saint Blancard et al.ARTICLEArchéologie médiévale2022

    Lors d’une fouille de sauvetage en 1983, une abside semi-circulaire avait été découverte sous l’église Notre-Dame de la Place, à proximité de la cathédrale de Bordeaux. Le contexte de la découverte et un faisceau d’indices historiques et archéologiques avaient conduit à identifier ces vestiges comme ceux de l’église Sainte-Marie. Sur la base d’un poème de Venance Fortunat, Aliette de Maillé avait proposé en 1959 que cette église ait été construit…

  • Association between Swallowing-Related Questionnaire Responses and Pathological Signs on Videofluoroscopy in Children

    Open AccessJana Jančı́ková, Jana Jančíková et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The aim of this study was to identify relationships in children between responses to specific questions of interest in a clinical questionnaire concerning swallowing-related difficulties and pathological signs on a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). A prospective data analysis was made of children evaluated with swallowing disorder between January 2018 and April 2021 at a tertiary care centre. Each child enrolled in the study underwent a …

  • Studying factors influencing facial developmental instability

    Open AccessMarie Jandová, Petra UrbanováARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2021

    We can conclude that facial morphology was shown to be strongly integrated, particularly until adolescence. This covariation can facilitate an increase of FA. In addition, the results of this study indicate there is a weak association between socioeconomic stress and facial asymmetries. In contrast, sex and growth rate are reflected in developmental instability

  • A Novel Semi-Automatic Measurement of the Semicircular Canals of the Human Bony Labyrinth

    Open AccessVeronika Kováčová, Petra UrbanováARTICLEAnthropologie2021

    The bony labyrinth is an inner ear structure located inside the pyramid of the temporal bone. In skeletal or skeletonized human remains, the region exhibits a remarkably high resistance against a variety of taphonomic factors. A substantial amount of work has been carried out in many scientific domains assessing morphological variations of the bony labyrinth. However, the results of these studies are inconsistent with each other, so researchers r…

    The most recent workshop on mortar dating (25–27 Oct. 2018, Bordeaux, Montaigne University, France), which closely followed the publication of an extensive round robin-exercise involving several laboratories, was an opportunity to review the history and challenges of mortar dating methods and procedures currently in use. This review stems from the keynote lectures presented at the meeting, and wishes to summarize recent results, present trends, a…

  • Modeling Light Exposure of Quartz Grains During Mortar Making: Consequences for Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dating

    Open AccessPierre Guibert, Petra Urbanová et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2020Cited by: 1References: 30

    Dating lime mortar shows great potential for establishing the chronology of a construction. The basic premise of mortar dating by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is that quartz in the sand used for making mortar has been optically zeroed during the preparation process (optical bleaching). The moment to be dated is the last exposure of sand grains to light, before being embedded within the masonry and hidden from light. However, the main p…

  • Family effects on the digit ratio (2D: (4D): The role of the interbirth interval

    Open AccessMiroslav Králík, Adela Hupková et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2019

    OBJECTIVES: Family represents the closest social environment that immediately affects human ontogeny from an early prenatal period. This study aimed to assess sibship influences on the second-to-fourth digit length ratio (2D:4D ratio). METHODS: The source sample represented 329 children aged 6.5 to 15.8 years (Czech Republic), including a subsample of 75 sibling pairs. A combination of (a) between-family design (cross-sectional sample) and (b) wi…

  • Body Measurements of Czech Adult Population: A Background for Seating Furniture Functional Dimension Updates

    Open AccessMartin Čuta, Petra Urbanová et al.ARTICLEAnthropologie2019

    For the contemporary Czech population, the recent-most dataset available to serve as a reference to furniture designers originated in anthropometric examinations performed during the Czechoslovak spartakiad which took place in 1985. Currently valid technological design standards are based on anthropometric data collected in the 1960's. To provide background for an update of furniture functional dimensions, 37 somatic characteristics were measured…

    Face databases have assumed an important role in a variety of clinical and applied research domains. However, the number of datasets accessible to the scientific community is limited and the knowledge of their existence may be concealed from a wider range of specialists. In the present paper we introduce a sizeable dataset of 3D facial scans – FIDENTIS 3D Face Database (F3D-FD or FIDENTIS Database), which is accompanied by basic demographic and d…

  • A novel interdisciplinary approach for building archaeology: The integration of mortar “single grain” luminescence dating into archaeological research, the example of Saint Seurin Basilica, Bordeaux

    Open AccessPetra Urbanová, A Michel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2018Cited by: 1References: 6

    This paper deals with new strategies for dating the construction of ancient monuments, one of the most topical issues in archaeology. Our approach is demonstrated by the study of an emblematic early medieval Basilica Saint Seurin in Bordeaux whose oldest building phases have never been well-understood and dated before due to the lack of written sources and archaeological findings. We mainly focus on the analyses of mortar as an omnipresent and no…

  • Mortar Dating Methodology: Assessing Recurrent Issues and Needs for Further Research

    Open AccessRoald Hayen, Mark Van Strydonck et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2017Cited by: 25References: 16

    Absolute dating of mortars is crucial when trying to pin down construction phases of archaeological sites and historic stone buildings to a certain point in time or to confirm, but possibly also challenge, existing chronologies. To evaluate various sample preparation methods for radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of mortars as well as to compare different dating methods, i.e. 14 C and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), a mortar dating intercomparis…

  • Multi-method dating of Grimaldi castle foundations in Antibes, France

    Open AccessPetra Urbanová, Éric Delaval et al.ARTICLEArchéoSciences2016Cited by: 6References: 5

    The foundations of Grimaldi castle in Antibes belonged originally to a vast monumental edifice of an unknown origin. No historical records that would allow establishing precise chronological framework of this building exist. Therefore, four approaches were combined in order to date its construction: relative chronology from archaeology with “physical” dating methods applied on building materials, e.g. archaeomagnetic dating of bricks and dating o…

  • The Post‐Mortem Pressure Distortion of Human Crania Uncovered in an Early Medieval Pohansko (Czech Republic) Graveyard

    Open AccessMikoláš Jurda, Petra Urbanová et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015References: 24

    Post‐mortem distortion resulting from the pressure of overlying sediments (i.e. grave backfill) is one of the taphonomic factors capable of altering the geometry of buried and subsequently recovered skeletal remains. If pressure distortion is a frequent occurrence, it could systematically flaw the outcome of an anthropological examination. To study the patterns of post‐mortem distortion in buried crania and shape alterations associated with a spe…
