Dental profiling in the archaeological sample of the Illyrian population in Southern Dalmatia, Croatia
The Illyrian community on the island of Korcula relied primarily on agriculture for their food, consuming only cereals, vegetables, and meat from domesticated animals. They did not extensively use marine resources. They were in good health generally. The individuals examined were native residents of the island and can be associated through their dental morphology with the Western Eurasian population group. The average lifespan of the population c…
Teeth macroabrasion for determination of dental age and diet in the Illyrian population from the Kopila necropolis on the Island of Korčula, Croatia
0.390). The average age of the analyzed population sample was 35.6 (±3.1) years. They were buried between 360-40 BC. Tooth wear changes observed on the analyzed teeth indicate a diet rich in hard, weakly cariogenic food with particles that were probably of inorganic origin, which caused an increased wear of tooth structures. The population was sedentary, agricultural type and the life expectancy was normal for the Late Iron Age. Besides, their so…
Functional implications of the differences in the inner structural organization between the Neanderthal and the modern human patella
The Neanderthal patellar morphology differs from that of recent humans by being anteroposteriorly thicker and by showing more symmetric articular facets and higher angles. However, it is still unclear to what extent these differences affect knee kinesiology. By using micro-focus X-ray tomography, we qualitatively and quantitatively characterized the inner conformation of six adult Neanderthal patellae from the OIS 5e site of Krapina, Croatia, and…
The Neandertal (Krapina and Regourdou 1), fossil modern human (Chancelade 1) and extant human patella: An insight from inside
Evolutionary endostructural patterns of the cortical and cancellous tissues of the postcranial skeleton are commonly investigated for inferring functional behaviours in extinct hominin taxa and past human populations. Information on the endostructural arrangement of the patellar bone has the potential of revealing individual- and/or taxon-specific aspects of the knee biomechanics. However, evidence on its inner conformation extracted from human f…
Krapina and the Case for Neandertal Symbolic Behavior
Heated debate surrounds the view that the indigenous Lower and Middle Palaeolithic populations of Europe did not possess the same cognitive capacities as modern humans. Different positions range from the staunch claim that Neanderthals were archaeologically - and thus behaviorally and cognitively - inferior and that contemporaneous Homo sapiens were superior, to opposing claims that Neanderthals were indistinguishable from members of our own Pala…
