Two Child Mummies From Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt): A Paleoradiological Case‐Based Study
This study presents a paleoradiological analysis of two mummified children from Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt), dated to the Middle Kingdom and the Late Period. High‐resolution computed tomography (CT) was used to assess embalming methods, skeletal development, and internal preservation. The Middle Kingdom mummy exhibited minimal soft tissue retention, no transnasal excerebration, and no evidence of resin or packing—features consistent with early,…
A Paleopathological Investigation of Amputation in Ancient Nubia
Evidence of amputation has been suggested in ancient Egyptian medical texts and iconography but remains rare in the archaeological record, particularly amputation used as a surgical technique for therapeutic medical treatment. We present a paleopathological case study of a young adult male interred in a Meroitic period (270 BCE –370 CE ) burial mound in the Nuri necropolis, Sudan, which was originally the final resting place for the kings and que…

Comparison of occlusal dental wear and degenerative alterations of the temporomandibular joint in two medieval populations from Central Europe
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease commonly identified in archaeological human remains. This condition primarily affects stress‐bearing joints, which include the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Comparing dental status and degenerative alterations of the TMJs of individuals is crucial for understanding the role of the former in increasing predisposition to temporomandibular OA. The combination of visual and radiologic observation…
An evolutionary perspective to intramedullary nail fit - comparing present-day data with a historical specimen collection
< 0.05), however, with a relatively weak monotonic correlation (rho values ranging between ±0.31 and ±0.37). The measurements for the Iceman's femur lie within the range of the modern and historical subgroups, but in some cases, differ by more than one standard deviation from the mean. Our results confirm previous findings, suggesting that more recent historical bone specimen collections may indeed be a convenient and easily accessible source of …
Gluten consumption may contribute to worldwide obesity prevalence
Gluten consumption has been controversially associated with obesity in previous studies. We sought to examine this association at the worldwide level. Country specific data were obtained from 168 countries. Scatter plots, bivariate, partial correlation and multiple linear regression models were used to explore and compare the coincidence between obesity prevalence and consumption of gluten, non-gluten cereal protein and total cereal protein respe…

Queen Meresankh III – the oldest case of bilateral Silent Sinus Syndrome (c. 2620/10 - 2570 BC)
The silent sinus syndrome is characterized by painless enophthalmia and hypotropia caused by chronic atelectasis of the maxillary sinus with onset in adulthood, typically between the third and the fifth decade of life. It is increasingly diagnosed as a result of today’s widespread use of computed tomography (CT). The phenomenon was originally described in 1964 (Montgomery, 1964), while the term “silent sinus syndrome” was later introduced by Sopa…
