The S-Word Addressed
The idea that accurate age estimation based on the analysis of human skeletal remains is not possible has become somewhat proliferate among Egyptologists in recent years, stemming from Dodson’s presentation of the scientifically questionable results of the Spitalfields archaeology project. This article identifies several scientific miscues in the Spitalfields project, including: (1) observer and confirmation bias; (2) deviation from the published…
Toddlers in Transition
Bioarchaeologists often use linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH) as a proxy for systemic physiological stress in prehistoric populations. Increased incidences of LEH have been observed in many cases associated with rapid social or environmental changes, such as with the Neolithic transition and agricultural intensification. Still, there have yet to be studies published of LEH incidence among living peoples in the process of transitioning from foraging…
Life, death and beyond in Akhenaten's Egypt
The authors report a summary of the results of six seasons of excavation at one of the cemeteries of Tell el-Amarna, the celebrated city of the 'monotheistic' revolutionary, Akhenaten. The osteology shows a workforce enduring stress and injuries to bone and muscle. The burial rites indicate low investment and personal interpretations as to spiritual meaning. In this exploration of a slice of a whole Egyptian urban society, the contrast between th…

Chronological Reconstruction of Natfieh Tombs, Northern Jordan
This research radiocarbon dates human teeth and bones sampled from seven tombs from the archaeological site of Natfieh, Northern Jordan. The small number of artifact fragments uncovered, looting and disruption of the tombs in antiquity and/or recent times, and the continuity between the Greek and Roman burial traditions and similarity in tomb architecture impede determining accurate dates and chronology of the tombs. This research aims to ascerta…
The Backbone of History
For the same reasons that explorers of the early twentieth century strove to reach the poles, and their modern counterparts journey to outer space, most people want to visualize the contours of the human experience - the peaks of adaptive success that led to the expansion of civilization, and the troughs in which human presence ebbed. The Backbone of History defines the emerging field of macrobioarchaeology by gathering skeletal evidence on seven…
The Quality of African-American Life in the Old Southwest near the Turn of the Twentieth Century
This chapter examines the quality of life of African–Americans in the historic West between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The primary data come from two sites: Cedar Grove Cemetery in rural southwest Arkansas, and Freedman's Cemetery, an urban graveyard located in downtown Dallas, Texas. We compare these skeletal series to archival and other demographic data sets and to a small…
Skeletal health in the Western Hemisphere from 4000 B.C. to the present
Bioarchaeological Studies of Life in the Age of Agriculture
Investigations of skeletal remains from key archaeological sites reveal new data and offer insights on prehistoric life and health in the Southeast.The shift from foraging to farming had important health consequences for prehistoric peoples, but variations in health existedwithin communities that had made this transition. This new collection draws on the rich bioarchaeological record of the Southeastern United States to explore variability in hea…

A Decorated Skull from MPPNB 'Ain Ghazal
A fragile human skull removed in a block of earth from 'Ain Ghazal in 1984 was excavated in the laboratory in 1997. The bone preserves evidence of a reddish pigment and a black substance - possibly bitumen - but since the face was missing, it is not certain if this decorated skull was also modeled in plaster. The combination of the use of red pigment and a black material (bitumen ?) reflects another facet of the variability accorded to certain hu…

Nagpra Is Forever
The 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires universities, museums, and federal agencies to inventory their archeological collections to prepare for the repatriation of skeletons to their Native American descendants. The loss of these collections will be a detriment to the study of North American osteology, but the inventory and repatriation process has increased the number of skeletons studied from about 30% to nearly…

Disease and ecology in the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Trans‐Mississippi South
Previous research suggested that maize agriculture was associated with an initial increase in skeletal infections followed by a return to former low levels. This conclusion is retested with a much larger sample, which includes all extant osteological data from the Trans‐Mississippi South and Lower Mississippi Valley archaeological areas which include eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma, all Arkansas and Louisiana, and southern Missouri. In the pre…
Assessment of systemic physiological perturbations from dental enamel hypoplasias and associated histological structures
Dental enamel hypoplasias are deficiencies in enamel thickness resulting from physiological perturbations (stress) during the secretory phase of amelogenesis. The results of a wide variety of experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies strongly suggest that these defects and their associated histological abnormalities (such as accentuated stria of Retzius and Wilson bands) are relatively sensitive and nonspecific indicators of stress. Bec…
Biological Consequences of Segregation and Economic Deprivation
Analysis of 80 skeletons from Cedar Grove, Arkansas, permits comparison of the skeletal data with historic accounts and interpretations of textual data. The high frequencies of skeletal lesions indicating dietary deficiencies and infectious disease demonstrates that this was a highly stressed population and that Cedar Grove participated in the historically documented nationwide decline of Afro-American health. The evidence is overwhelming that co…

Cortical bone maintenance in an historic Afro‐American Cemetery sample from Cedar Grove, Arkansas
The relocation and analysis of 80 skeletons from the Cedar Grove Cemetery, located in southwest Arkansas, provides an opportunity to examine the level of health and nutrition exprienced by Afro‐Americans in the post‐Reconstruction South (1878–1930). The demographic profile lends support to the interpretation that Cedar Grove participated in the nationwide decline in Afro‐American health. The high frequencies of skeletal lesions indicative of diet…

The chronological distribution of enamel hypoplasias from prehistoric dickson mounds populations
The chronological distributions of enamel hypoplasias (indicators of nonspecific stress) are assessed for 111 individuals from two prehistoric populations from Dickson Mounds, Lewiston, Illinois. The earlier population (circa A.D. 950–1150) involves a transition from an indigenous gathering‐hunting tradition to increasing adoption of Mississippian lifeways. The later population (circa A.D. 1150–1300) is fully Mississippian (MM). Based on the occu…
The effects of induced prenatal hypothyroidism on lamb mandibular third primary molars
Intrauterine thyroidectomies were performed on nine lambs on or about the ninety‐sixth postconception day. Seven other control and shamoperated lambs, and the cretin lambs were sacrificed immediately after birth. The mandibles were removed and sectioned at the midline. The right side molars were removed by dissection and caliper measured. The distal cusps of the third primary molars were sectioned, dehydrated, and embedded in Bio‐plastic. A slow …
Patterns of stress, disease and mortality in two prehistoric populations from North American
Histological enamel indicator of childhood stress in prehistoric skeletal samples
Although previous paleopathological studies have used disturbances in enamel formation as indicators of childhood stress, the full potential of this technique has not been realized. This paper presents a test case which demonstrates that the frequency of disturbed enamel formation (i.e., Wilson bands) is associated with other stress indicators (i.e., probability of dying and infectious lesions) in three prehistoric skeletal samples representing t…

Defective enamel histology of prehistoric teeth from illinois
Histological enamel defects have been used as indicators of childhood morbidity and nutritional inadequacy. However, the usefulness of these defects has been hampered by a lack of clear criteria for differentiating normal and defective enamel. This report demonstrates that the criteria of abnormal prism structure can accurately differentiate defective enamel (i.e., pathological bands) from normal enamel. In addition, pathological bands can be div…
A multivariate dental sexing technique
This paper presents a method of sexing skeletal remains using dental measurements. A base sample from a population is sexed with reference to the postcranial skeleton and the dental measurements (buccal‐lingual and mesial‐distal diameters) are analyzed by the discriminant function technique. A linear function is derived, which will classify by sex the remaining portion of the population
