The invisible evidence of birth
It is well known that parity affects the human skeleton through biomechanical strain during pregnancy and birth, lactation, and sexual steroid hormone expression. Pelvic features are bony exostoses and lesions found on the pelvis and are frequently interpreted as parturition scars, although the direct causal factors remain unclear. In this study, we created a weighted pelvic pattern index (PPI) by combining all pelvic features (preauricular sulcu…
Diet, mobility and gendered violence
Multi-method analysis integrates proteomic sex identification with isotope analyses. • Integrates the divergent methodologies of analysing cremated and inhumed individuals. • Provides individual biographies with sex-linked data on mobility, diet, and violence. • Contributes to understanding gendered lifeways and emerging social stratification in Early Iron Age Central Europe. The Early Iron Age cemetery of Statzendorf (c. 800–400 BCE), which at d…
Anatomic basics and technical approaches
The aim of this study is the evaluation of three selected osseous pelvic features in modern anatomical specimen - the sacral preauricular extension, the preauricular sulcus and pits on the dorsal side of the pubic bone laterally to the symphysis. The specificity and significance of these features are under debate and their genesis is largely unclear. Descriptive data of specific soft tissue structures surrounding the anterior sacroiliac joint gap…
Sacral preauricular extensions and notches as parts of a 'Pelvic Pattern' may provide information on past pregnancies and parturitions
During the analyses of several hundred prehistoric individuals from Austria, we observed that some women display a "Pelvic Pattern" at the innominate bones and the sacrum, i.e. specific combinations of pronounced expressions of pelvic features. We recorded classic pelvic features (dorsal pubic pitting, preauricular sulcus, extended pubic tubercle) as well as new ones (SPE: sacral preauricular extension, a ventrally pointing flat bone formation at…
Indicators of motherhood? Sacral preauricular extensions and notches in identified skeletal collections
The sacral preauricular extension (SPE) and sacral preauricular notch (SPN) are morphological changes at the ventral apex of the sacrum. We recently specified their shapes and appearances and suggested a scoring system based on prehistoric Austrian skeletal assemblages. We hypothesized that these specific pelvic changes relate to past pregnancies and parturitions, a hypothesis that we now tested on a subsample of individuals from the Simon Identi…

Social Relations, Deprivation and Violence at Schleinbach, Lower Austria. Insights from an Interdisciplinary Analysis of the Early Bronze Age Human Remains
The interdisciplinary analysis of the skeletal remains of 63 individuals from settlement features and graves from Schleinbach in Lower Austria brought new insights into Early Bronze Age social relations, health aspects, signs of stress and trauma patterns. The individuals were buried in two groups of formal graves as well as in former storage pits. Mitochondrial DNA analysis identified genetic relationships between two individuals placed close to…
Child murder in the Early Bronze Age
The identification of sex-specific peptides in human tooth enamel by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) represents a quantum leap for the study of childhood and social relations more generally. Determining sex-related differences in prehistoric child rearing and mortality has been hampered by the insufficient accuracy in determining the biological sex of juveniles. We conducted mass spectrometric analysis to id…
Sacral preauricular extensions, notches, and corresponding iliac changes
Specific changes at the ventrosuperior margin (apex) of the ala ossis sacri-an extension or a notch and respective corresponding structures at the iliac auricular facet-were noted in female skeletons. We suggest terming them sacral preauricular extension (SPE) and sacral preauricular notch (SPN) and propose a recording system. We analysed pelvic remains from Bronze Age female and male individuals for comparison from three different sites in Austr…
Motherhood at Early Bronze Age Unterhautzenthal, Lower Austria
This article utilises skeletal evidence (n = 57) from settlement features and graves at Unterhautzenthal, Lower Austria, to outline our methodological approach to researching motherhood in prehistory. Unterhautzenthal includes the grave of a pregnant teenager, a triple burial of a woman with two children and a family grave of a man, woman and baby; additional womenâ s graves include remains of neonates and young children. Comparing archaeological…
Anthropologische Analyse
Anthropological examination of the burials recovered at Gobelsburg, Lower Austria, revealed a total of seven individuals: three males, one female and three subadults. Palaeopathological investigations have shown features of periodontal disease and deficiencies of vitamin-C and iron; the latter is indicated by new bone formations (periostitis) on the long bones as well as porotic changes on the cranial vault (porotic hyperostosis). Occupation-indu…
