The Identified Contemporary Skeletal Collections at the University of Granada
The aim of this paper is to introduce the contemporary collections housed in the Anthropology Laboratory of the University of Granada. The two collections (San José and Lucena) comprise N = 740 individuals of both sexes. All of them come from contemporary cemeteries and their dates of death are comprised between 1871 and 2005. The demographic profile indicates that the predominant age group is between 50 and 99 years of age ( n = 405), although i…
Two Child Mummies From Qubbet el‐Hawa (Aswan, Egypt)
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,…
Skeletal lesions consistent with tuberculosis in an adolescent from Qubbet el-Hawa, Aswan, Egypt (Late Period, 664–525 BCE)
Tuberculosis has been well established in Ancient Egypt and is defined as an endemic disease during dynastic times. In several tombs of the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa (QH) in Aswan, Egypt, unequivocal cases of tuberculosis (Pott’s disease) have been identified in adults. Additionally, the remains of an adolescent (approximately 14 years old), dated to the Late Period (664–525 BCE), were discovered in tomb QH33, exhibiting a possible multifocal …
Cranial injuries in ancient Egypt
Violence seems to have been a constant in Egyptian history, as attested by documentary sources. The material culture also reflects this state of violence; however, anthropological findings, although present, are not as numerous as might be expected. In the present study, we analyze the injuries found in three crania (New Kingdom, 1500–1070 BCE) from the necropolis of Qubbet el‐Hawa, near the island of Elephantine (Aswan, Egypt). All three cases a…
Trepanations in non-adults of the 16th to 18th C. The osteological series of the Church of the Assumption of Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real, Spain)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of trepanations in an early Modern Age, skeletal collection documented in medical treatises but infrequently reported in osteological collections. MATERIALS: Analyses were conducted on 387 non-adult crania from the ossuary in the church of the Assumption of Valdepeñas (16th - 18th C.), Ciudad Real, Spain. METHODS: All complete or semi-complete crania of non-adults (aged 3-20 years) were macroscopically exami…
Two cases of pelvic trauma with survival in the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa (Egypt)
Macroscopic dental enamel hypoplasia in deciduous teeth
Sexual dimorphism of the maxillary postcanine dentition
The aim of this work was to study the sexual dimorphism of the occlusal surface of the maxillary postcanine dentition using geometric morphometric techniques. This study evaluated 139 individuals as part of five osteological collections from municipal cemeteries in the province of Granada (Spain). The landmarks and semilandmarks were analysed by principal components analysis, canonical variate analysis and discriminant analysis. Only the fourth m…
Dental Health and Diet in a Medieval Muslim Population From Southern Spain
The necropolis of Maro (Málaga, Spain)
Double inhumation in the Medieval Islamic Necropolis of Sahl ben Malik in Granada (Spain)
in Granada (Spain). A complete skeleton of a woman and the skeletal remains of a full-term fetus located under the mother's left femur, were discovered in this burial. None of the evidence for the mother was decisive in determining the cause of death. However, evidence of physiological stress in the woman and possible gynecological complications may have contributed to the death of both individuals. The link between the individuals and their caus…
Possible interpersonal violence in the Neolithic necropolis of Campo de Hockey (San Fernando, Cádiz, Spain)
Fetal age at death estimation on dry bone
The paucity of identified skeletal collections that include fetuses entails the need to pursue unconventional approaches and resources in order to investigate fetal anatomical variation. Radiographic analyses are being considered as a good alternative to data obtained in osteological collections. In a previous work, we developed equations to estimate gestational age (GA) at death by measuring fetal long bones on x-rays. This study aims to test th…
Fracture of the odontoid process in a male individual from the medieval necropolis of Maro (Málaga, Spain)
Comparison of cranial sex determination by discriminant analysis and logistic regression
Various methods have been proposed for estimating dimorphism. The objective of this study was to compare sex determination results from cranial measurements using discriminant analysis or logistic regression. The study sample comprised 130 individuals (70 males) of known sex, age, and cause of death from San José cemetery in Granada (Spain). Measurements of 19 neurocranial dimensions and 11 splanchnocranial dimensions were subjected to discrimina…
Perimortem fractures in the osteological collection of Aljubarrota (Portugal)
Sex estimation based on deciduous and permanent dentition in a contemporary spanish population
Sex estimation of skeletal remains with satisfactory allocation accuracy represents an essential step in reconstructing the biological profile of unknown individuals in archaeological research and forensic practice. Teeth are among the most frequently recovered physical elements of an individual that remain after death due to their hardness, durability, and resistance to postmortem insults. This study was based on the deciduous and permanent dent…
Brief communication
The objective of this study is to present the characteristics of a collection of identified infants and young children housed in the Laboratory of Anthropology of the University of Granada, Spain. The sample, which is still being enlarged, is currently composed of 230 complete skeletons aged from 5 months of gestation to 8 years, with a majority below 1 year. It mainly dates from the mid‐20th century. The state of preservation is very good, and a…

Odontometric sex discrimination in the herculaneum sample (79 AD, Naples, Italy), with application to juveniles
Sex determination of subadult skeletal remains with satisfactory accuracy represents one of the most important limitations of archaeological research and forensic practice. Teeth are one of the most durable physical elements of an individual that remain after death, and constitute a potential source of information about the biological sex of that individual. This study was based on the skeletal remains of 117 individuals from the ancient city of …
