Basics in paleodemography: A comparison of age indicators applied to the early medieval skeletal sample of Lauchheim
Recent advances in the methods of skeletal age estimation have rekindled interest in their applicability to paleodemography. The current study contributes to the discussion by applying several long established as well as recently developed or refined aging methods to a subsample of 121 adult skeletons from the early medieval cemetery of Lauchheim. The skeletal remains were analyzed by 13 independent observers using a variety of aging techniques (…
Lateral angle: A method for sexing using the petrous bone
We report on the results of applying the so-called lateral angle method for sex determination on skeletal remains. The lateral angle denotes the angle of the internal auditory canal in relation to the medial surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone. The method involves making a small cast of the proximal part of the internal acoustic canal and determining the angle at which the canal opens up to the surface of the petrous bone. The method…

Detection of bone glue treatment as a major source of contamination in ancient DNA analyses
Paleogenetic investigations of ancient DNA extracted from fossil material is for many reasons susceptible to falsification by the presence of more recent contamination from several sources. Gelatine‐based bone glue that has been used extensively for nearly two centuries by curators to preserve hard tissues contributes nonauthentic DNA to paleontological material. This fact has been frequently neglected and is barely mentioned in the literature. N…
Classification of a 300.000 years old tooth crown in a loamy deposit in the travertine zone at Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt
Hominid dental remains were recovered in association with fossil bones and artifacts during systematic excavations in a loamy deposit located between the two travertine zones T4 and T5 at Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Southwest Germany. Direct dating of a hominid tooth crown with thermoluminescence resulted in a date of 300 kya, which is in agreement with the Holstein Interglacial floral and faunal composition of this layer. The specimen is a lower le…
Primary intraosseous meningioma in a skull of the medieval period of Southwestern Germany
Primary intraosseous calvarial meningiomas are very rare entities in recent times. We present the first case in antiquity of a primary intraosseous meningioma in the frontoparietal bone associated with the coronal suture, and discuss its pathology. The skull derives from southwestern Germany and is dated to the 12th-14th centuries AD. The lesion is interpreted as a solitary osteoblastic neoplasm with hyperostosis on the outside, and osteolysis an…
Brief communication: Neurotraumatological aspects of head injuries resulting from sharp and blunt force in the early medieval period of southwestern Germany
Approximately 10% (33 of 304) of the predominantly male skulls from the 6th through 8th centuries in southwestern Germany exhibit cranial fractures derived from blunt or sharp force trauma. No evidence of fracture healing characterizes 24% (n = 8) of these individuals. All nonhealed fractures were caused by sharp force, and four of these wounds cross the sagittal sinus. The lengths of these straight‐edged wounds, produced exclusively by sword blo…

The form of the supraorbital margin as a criterion in identification of sex from the skull: Investigations based on modern human skulls
Sexual dimorphism in the shape of the supraorbital margin was reported by Broca and various subsequent authors, but no consistently applied, precise definition has been established. In this study of modern human skulls, the value of our definition of the sex-related difference in this area in the identification of sex from the skull was investigated. It was found that this feature can be assessed reliably, is strongly related to sex, and is indep…
The tide mark zone as part of the hydrodynamic principle
Detection of numerous CC and Cc membranes in the femoral condyle
The authors (1,2) discovered a two-membrane system in the head of the femur and its distal condyles (Copf et al. 1,2,3). The one membrane serves the hydrodynamic principle. It was termed the CC membrane. According to the provisional opinion of the authors, the second membrane, which is designated as Cc membrane, serves for exchange of fluid supply of energy and information flow in view of its original perforations. In contrast to the head of the …
