Exploring childhood mobility in Neolithic Southern France (Roquemissou) using incremental analyses of Sr isotope ratios in tooth enamel
Multiple abnormalities in the feet and associated changes elsewhere in the skeleton: The case of 3A-7 from a Capsian Site in Algeria
New information on Melides stable isotopes

The Paleodemography of Central Portugal and the Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition
Early and Middle Holocene Environments and Capsian Cultural Change: Evidence from the Télidjène Basin, Eastern Algeria
Building a method for the study of the Mesolithic Neolithic transition in Portugal
This paper focuses on the agricultural transition in Portugal and on demography across this transition, concentrating on two key skeletal samples, the Mesolithic shell midden of Cabeco da Arruda and the Neolithic burial cave of Casa da Moura. It extends our previous work on the demography of the transition and the methodology surrounding its determination. We explain our method for determination of the number of individuals in samples where whole…
Testing a method: Paleodemography and proportional fitting
Konigsberg and Frankenberg (2002, p. 297), in “reviewing some recent developments in paleodemography over the past decade,” criticize a graph I included in a general discussion on the problems of age estimation of adult human skeletons (Jackes, 2000, Fig. 15.7). In their opinion, I was mistaken when using 17 age categories to demonstrate the differences between known-age distributions and those estimated from skeletal age indicators by a method t…
Paleodemography: Age distributions from skeletal samples
Destruction of microstructure in archaeological bone: A case study from Portugal
Sampling of archaeological human bone may not be justified, contrary to former high expectations regarding adult age assessment based on histomorphometry. The alterations in buried bone as a result of bacterial action are readily visible in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). An understanding of the chemical and structural changes to cortical bone requires work at the level of a few microns. This paper reports on problems encountered during a…
On Physical Anthropological Aspects of the Mesolithic‐Neolithic Transition in the Iberian Peninsula
Healthy but mortal: Human biology and the first farmers of western Europe
What do we know about the effects of the transition to agriculture on human biology? A literature has grown up that gives us the impression that we know a great deal about what happened to bones and teeth when people became sedentary farmers. A review of the sources of these ideas and the evidence supporting them, especially based on work in Portugal, reveals that a reconsideration of the biological consequences of farming in Europe is overdue
The Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition in Portugal: Isotopic and Dental Evidence of Diet
On Paradox and Osteology
Pubic symphysis age distributions
A further discussion of age assessment and palaeodemography requires detailed reviews of methods, especially pubic symphysis techniques. Before reanalysis of changes in symphyseal form, the initial steps in distributing ages must be examined. Use of the mean values for age scores gives age distributions that are not real, but subject to systematic distortions, and cumulative percentages of skeletal samples can be shown to reflect the mean ages. D…
Osteological evidence for smallpox: A possible case from seventeenth century Ontario
Identification of possible osteomyelitis variolosa in a Neutral Indian cemetery dated to just before A.D. 1650 provides the first recognition of smallpox in an archaeological context. The radiological literature is reviewed to support the identification. The ethnohistorical literature is at odds with the evidence presented and the historical background is briefly discussed, together with the ambiguities and contradictions in both primary and seco…
