Paleoepidemiological patterns of interpersonal aggression in a prehistoric central California population from CA‐ALA‐329
Interpersonal aggression is assessed paleoepidemiologically in a large skeletal population from the CA‐ALA‐329 site located on the southeastern side of San Francisco Bay, California. This comprehensive analysis included all currently recognized skeletal criteria, including craniofacial fracture, projectile injury, forearm fracture, and perimortem bone modification. Craniofacial injury is moderately common, showing an adult prevalence of 9.0% with…
Osteoarthritis revisited
Osteoarthritis is among the most common pathological conditions in skeletal collections and is the most frequent musculoskeletal disorder in contemporary populations. Jurmain ( 1991 ) has previously published in this journal a brief review of skeletal perspectives on osteoarthritis. Subsequent studies by osteologists and medical researchers have added considerably to understanding of the aetiology and patterning of osteoarthritis. Thus, it is tim…
Paleoepidemiolgical patterns of trauma in a prehistoric population from central California
Skeletal trauma was investigated in a large collection of human remains from central California (N = 162 aged and sexed adults). Lesions investigated included cranial and long bone fractures, projectile wounds, and dislocation. Long bone fractures were found in 10.5% of individuals; overall, incidence by element was 2.3%. In addition, cranial injuries were found in 4.4% of complete adult crania. Projectile wounds were seen unambiguously in four i…

Palaeoepidemiological Patterns of Trauma in a Medieval Nubian Skeletal Population
Evidence of trauma was investigated in a well-preserved skeletal sample from the Medieval Sudanese Nubian site of Kulubnarti. The skeletal materials derive from two temporally over-lapping Christian cemeteries, dating from the sixth to circa the sixteenth century. The available sample consisted of the skeletons of 146 adults which were investigated for fractures of the long bones, crania and the hands and feet, as well as for dislocations and mus…
Patterns of Cranial Trauma in a Prehistoric Population from Central California
Evidence of cranial trauma was investigated in a skeletal sample from the site CA-Ala-329 located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, Central California. The sample included 365 crania, including 134 adult males, 104 adult females, 22 adults of indeterminate sex and 105 subadults. Evidence of cranio-facial fracture was found in eight individuals, one of whom is an adolescent. Thus, the frequency in adult crania of traumatic injury is 7/260 …

Degenerative changes in peripheral joints as indicators of mechanical stress
Although it commonly has been assumed that environmentally mediated stress is centrally important in initiating degenerative joint disease, it does not necessarily follow that we can make predictive statements concerning those specific stresses in the past that have led to the onset of degenerative change. Indeed, numerous examples from clinical studies of apparently clearly demarcated occupational stress have failed to show expected correlations…
Paleoepidemiology of a central California prehistoric population from CA‐Ala‐329
Ala‐329 is a prehistoric central California site located on the southeastern margin of San Francisco Bay, dating from approximately 500 AD up to pre‐European contact. A large earth mound, Ala‐329, has yielded many well preserved burials, approximately 300 of which are included in this study. The most common pathological lesions seen in this population are in the dentition. Advanced attrition is pervasive, affecting all individuals with teeth in o…
Paleoepidemiology of a Central California prehistoric population from CA‐ALA‐329
Degenerative lesions are scored and frequencies of involvement are computed for a skeletal collection from Ca‐Ala‐329, a prehistoric site on the southeastern side of San Francisco Bay, dating from 500 A.D. up to European contact. A large earthmound site, excavations conducted there by San Jose State University retrieved close to 300 burials. For this epidemiological analysis, reasonably complete and aged skeletons representing 77 adult females an…
Trauma, degenerative disease, and other pathologies among the gombe chimpanzees
The well‐known and extremely well‐documented chimpanzees from Gombe National Park were analyzed for presence of skeletal pathologies. Of the 15 animals available for study, 11 were old and complete enough to permit systematic analysis. Of these, 10 showed some evidence of skeletal pathological involvement. The most common type of lesion seen resulted from trauma. Those chimps with the most fractures (Old Female, 3; Flo, 4; Hugo, 8) are consistent…
Osteoarthrosis
Examination of an Eskimo skeletal series demonstrated at least two etiologically distinct groups of joint deterioration divided along sex lines. Low bone mineral content (BMC) among women and high BMC among men were associated with osteoarthrosis on the tibial plateau. This finding contradicts conventional wisdom based on clinical observation, which suggests that reduced skeletal mass prevents osteoarthrosis
The pattern of involvement of appendicular degenerative joint disease
Patterns of degenerative joint disease are investigated in the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee joints of the macerated remains of approximately 800 individuals from 20th century American and two prehistoric populations. Age is an important contributory factor in all joints, but its effects are seen most directly in the shoulder and hip. Patterns of right‐left involvement also indicate the elbow is the most susceptible area to local factors. Multip…
Stress and the etiology of osteoarthritis
Although degenerative joint disease is an old and exceedingly common problem, clinical investigators have not reached a consensus regarding the etiology of this disease. Comparative osteological analysis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow joints of 798 individuals from four human skeletal populations (Black and White Americans, Pueblo Indians, and Alaskan Eskimos) indicates that age of onset, frequency, and location of degenerative changes are…
Part one
Degenerative knee disease is investigated in osteological samples from three human skeletal populations. The distribution of incidence shows Eskimos are the most frequently and severely affected group, and multivariate analysis further indicates localized age‐independent patterns of degenerative involvement within the knee. It is suggested that such variation results from functional stress within the knee joint. Various modes of cultural behavior…
