Surgery under siege
OBJECTIVE: Paleopathological analysis of a below-knee amputation was conducted to explore the sociocultural reasons why the amputation took place. MATERIALS: Older adolescent male (18-21 years) from the New Englander mass burial at the 18th century Fortress of Louisbourg. METHODS: Macroscopic assessment and archival data. RESULTS: A surgical amputation of the right tibia and fibula, distal to the knee was identified. The cross-sectional diaphysis…

A Bioarchaeological Exploration of Adolescent Males at the Eighteenth-Century Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, Canada
Using skeletal remains from the eighteenth-century Fortress of Louisbourg, this study aimed to explore whether the adolescent ( 25 years) male experiences were synonymous in this New France colony. Additionally, this study also considered the geographic origins of these adolescent males to better understand their lived experience at Louisbourg. For this study, skeletal remains from 13 adolescent male individuals (16–25 years) were compared to 24 …
The Odd, the Unusual, and the Strange
While death and dying are universal, the treatment of the dead is culturally and temporally specific, highlighting the influence of both the deceased individual and the living community within the mortuary process. This volume focuses specifically on non-normative or atypical mortuary practices situated within a contextually driven understanding of social and cultural norms surrounding the process of interment. Each chapter compares and contrasts…
Odd, the Unusual, and the Strange Bioarchaeological Explorations of Atypical Burials
This volume focuses specifically on non-normative or atypical mortuary practices situated within a contextually-driven understanding of social and cultural norms surrounding the process of interment. Drawing on examples from North and South America, Europe, and Asia, this comprehensive volume stresses the commonality between non-normative or atypical treatments spanning millennia. Additionally, this volume strives to employ a holistic understandi…
Comparing biological and pathological factors affecting osteocalcin concentrations in archaeological skeletal remains
Paleoproteomics and the study of ancient proteins has become an important consideration in bioarchaeological research as we seek to understand the relationship between the physical skeleton and its underlying biochemistry. Osteocalcin is an abundant, non-collagenous protein that is accessible archaeologically due to its affinity for hydroxyapatite in bone. Manufactured by the osteoblast cells during normal bone metabolism, osteocalcin is inherent…
Burying the Karrer
Bioarchaeological research is built on a foundation of context and how social and historical considerations can aid us in better understanding the individual and society. Burial patterning and grave inclusions are significant contextual elements, as they may speak to individuality at complex and multifaceted cemetery sites. Established in 1713, the Fortress of Louisbourg was home to a mosaic of individuals during its 45-year history, including fi…
The ice age with little effect? Exploring stress in the Danish Black Friars cemetery before and after the turn of the 14th century
Whare ye ennemy used to bury there dead”
Known as one of the largest and most expansive French fortress sites in North America, Louisbourg had a short yet rich history of prosperity, warfare, and abandonment during the 18th century. Throughout its tumultuous 45‐year history, the community at Louisbourg was a mosaic of individuals including civilians, soldiers, fishermen, merchants, and privateers, originating from both North America and Europe. This diverse population no doubt contribut…
The subtleties of stress
The study of stress from an osteological perspective is challenging as we use skeletal remains to explore the lived experience and patterns of health. As an intricate overlap of multiple biological processes, the stress response system guides our understanding of how and why stress manifests as it does. Using traditional osteological methods of stress analysis, specifically cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, and enamel hypoplastic lesions, t…

Excavating Identity
Deviant burials and social identity in a postmedieval Polish cemetery
Objectives Deviant burials can reveal important information about both social and individual identity, particularly when the mortuary record is supplemented by an examination of skeletal remains. At the postmedieval (17th to 18th c. AD) cemetery of Drawsko (Site 1), Poland, six individuals (of n = 285) received deviant, anti‐vampiristic mortuary treatment. A previous study using radiogenic strontium isotope ratios ( = 0.7112 ± 0.0006, 1 σ , n = 6…
The biochemical signatures of stress
OBJECTIVE: As a chemical precursor to the hard tissue changes well-studied in bioarchaeological research, osteocalcin provides a unique opportunity to assess stress via fluctuations in bone metabolism. The main objectives of this research were 1) to successfully extract osteocalcin from the Black Friars skeletal population; 2) to assess the diagenetic change between individual bone samples; and 3) to compare osteocalcin concentrations across sex,…
A re‐evaluation of the impact of radiographic orientation on the identification and interpretation of H arris lines
The identification of Harris lines through radiographic analysis has been well‐established since their discovery in the late nineteenth century. Most commonly associated with stress, the study of Harris lines has been fraught with inconsistent identification standards, high levels of intra‐ and interobserver error, and the inevitability of skeletal remodelling. Despite these methodological challenges, the use of Harris lines remains an important …
Governing from the Grave
Mortuary treatments are ways in which archaeologists can learn about the culture and lifestyle of past societies, in terms of how they view the dead. The dead, however, can continue to play a role in the lives of the living, which may also be reflected in funerary rites and burial treatments. This article explores the social agency of the dead, focusing on the ‘vampire burials’ of the post-medieval Polish site of Drawsko 1. These burials, identif…
