Individual and group identity in WWII commemorative sites
Five sites commemorating large-scale mortuary events are compared in order to discover how individual and collective identities are created, maintained, and lost in memorials such as cemeteries and monuments. These five sites, the American Military Cemetery in Normandy, France; the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, USA; Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, USA; Auschwitz-Birkenau outside Oświęcim, Poland; and Treblinka o…
Biofilm growth in human skeletal material from ancient Mesopotamia
Technical note
A method is described for orienting maxillary and mandibular molars in order to standardize the reporting of wear scores on quadrants of the occlusal surfaces (Scott: Am J Phys Anthropol 51 (1979) 213–217). The method, which was developed on an archeological sample from ancient Mendes, Egypt, further requires that quadrant scores be reported individually and sequentially for each tooth, rather than summed, in order to identify more easily differe…
A sacral anomaly from the Quaker Cemetery, Kingston-upon-Thames, England
A rare defect of the sacrum was observed in the skeleton of an adult female from the Quaker Cemetery (1663-1814 CE) in Kingston-upon-Thames, England. This is an isolated finding in the skeletal collection and no other elements in this individual were similarly affected. After eliminating post-depositional damage and skeletal asymmetry, a differential diagnosis resulted in the consideration of two conditions: hemivertebra and sacral agenesis, both…
A comparative experiment in the consolidation of cremated bone
This experiment assessed whether consolidation of cremated remains facilitated cross-sectioning and grinding, which often are required for microstructural analyses such as the histomorphometric estimation of age and the examination of pathological lesions. Green, bovine femoral diaphyses were cremated at three temperature ranges (346-357°C; 610-755°C; 684-838°C) in an electric furnace and then consolidated with Acryloid B-72 or Butvar B-98 using …
Intra-and Inter-tooth Analysis of Hypoplastic and Hypocalcified Enamel Defects
A comparison of the frequency and distribution of hypoplastic and hypocalcification defects in 153 permanent teeth reveals two different patterns. Although intra-tooth variation is consistent with the results of previous studies, inter-tooth patterns of hypoplasia and hypocalcification differ, and suggest that it may be difficult to distinguish developmental from acquired opacities. Two factors may be responsible for acquired opacities: postmorte…
Skeletal evidence of probable treponemal infection in free-ranging African apes
Stable isotope variation in pathological bone
Bone samples taken at autopsy from seven individuals from western Canada are studied histologically and the bone protein is analysed for stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen. The objective of the study is to determine if pathological conditions result in variations in bone protein stable isotope ratios. Of the seven individuals sampled, three are normal and four are pathological. The latter include post-paralytic atrophy, healing fracture, acti…
Further aspects of fur trade life depicted in the skeleton
Osteobiographies were reconstructed from the skeletal remains of four adults from Fort Edmonton, a 19th century trading post of the Canadian fur trade. Three males were Caucasoid and probably ethnic Scots, given the usual origin of fur traders in this region. The lone adult female in the sample was Mongoloid, either Indian or Métis, and likely the ‘country wife’ of a fur trader, since she was buried in the European tradition in the fort cemetery.…
Patterns of dental enamel defects at ancient Mendes, Egypt
The dental remains of 88 individuals from Old Kingdom, First Intermediate, and Greco-Roman periods at the ancient Egyptian site of Mendes (Tell er-Rub(c)a) were examined for dental enamel hypoplasia, and the results reported here provide some of the first comparative data on enamel defects in ancient Egypt. Overall, 48% of the individuals in the sample have one or more teeth with hypoplasia, with 17% of permanent teeth and 8% of deciduous teeth a…
The Biocultural Context of Anemia in the Ancient Indus valley
The Harappan civilization is considered by many scholars to be among the earliest and most developed ancient states. flourishing some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago in the Indus Valley and peripheral areas. At the type site of Harappa. two of 29 crania recovered during excavations of the Harappan Period cemetery reveal cranial lesions indicating chronic anemia. Since no postcranial lesions consistent with the effects of genetic anemias. such as thalass…
Anaemia in the Ancient Indus Valley
The Harappan, or Indus Valley, civilization is considered by many to be among the earliest and most developed of ancient civilizations, with features such as a highly specialized and functionally integrated economy, centralized bureaucratic institutions and a large population base. Two of 29 crania recovered during the most recent cemetery excavations at Harappa display cranial lesions of porotic hyperostosis, suggestive of chronic anaemia. No le…

Trauma analysis in paleopathology
This paper reviews the mechanisms of injury and the types of fractures that most commonly affect the human skeleton, presents descriptive protocols for cranial and postcranial fractures adapted from clinical and forensic medicine, and summarizes anatomically the injuries most likely to be found in archaeological skeletons along with their most common causes and complications. Mechanisms of injury are categorized as direct and indirect trauma, str…
Concordance of cranial and dental morphological traits and evidence for endogamy in ancient Egypt
A biological affinities study based on frequencies of cranial nonmetric traits in skeletal samples from three cemeteries at predynastic Naqada, Egypt, confirms the results of a recent nonmetric dental morphological analysis. Both cranial and dental traits analyses indicate that the individuals buried in a cemetery characterized archaeologically as high status are significantly different from individuals buried in two other, apparently nonelite ce…

A Comparison of Consolidants for Archaeological Bone
Four widely available polymers (20% Acryloid B-72 in toluene, 5% Acrysol WS-24 in distilled water, 20% Butvar B-98 in ethanol, and 20% Rhoplex AC-33 in isopropanol and acetone) were applied to archaeological human bone, both cortical and cancellous, in a test of their effectiveness as consolidants. Their penetration, drying time, and surface finish characteristics were evaluated after the solutions were applied by brushing and immersion technique…
Biological continuity between the A- and C-groups in lower Nubia
Data are presented on 45 cranial non-metric traits in skeletal samples of the Lower Nubian A-Group (ca. 3100-2500 BC) and C-Group (ca. 2000-1500 BC) cultural periods. Results, based on the mean measure of divergence statistic, reveal biological continuity, consistent with interpretations of in situ evolution as opposed to models of discontinuity resulting from gene flow. Any differences between the A-and C-Group cultural phases that may be eviden…

Carbon Isotope Ratios in Palaeodiet
Palaeodiet of humans can be determined using stable carbon isotope ratios of bone collagen. Differences in δ 13 C‐values between individuals in a population may be due to real differences in diet, or alternatively, they could be due to age‐ or sex‐dependent differences in the physiologically controlled fractionation of carbon isotopes between food and collagen. The dependence of this fractionation on age and sex was tested in a study of 50 indivi…
An evolutionary framework for assessing illness and injury in nonhuman primates
It is well established that primates suffer and may survive illness and injury in the wild, but more equivocal is our understanding of how these affect reproductive fitness. This paper presents a functional and evolutionary framework for assessing nonhuman primate illness and injury by examining their timing in primate life history and their associations to subsistence, locomotion, and social behavior. The selective impact of illness and injury m…
Skeletal markers of occupational stress in the Fur Trade
The Seafort Burial Site (FcPr100) is a Fur Trade Period cemetery located near the town of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. The results of recent analysis of skeletons recovered during salvage excavations between 1969 and 1971 suggest that three males in this sample were voyageurs in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company. Vertebral osteophytosis and osteoarthritis, Schmorl's nodes, muscle origin robusticity and new bone formation at entheses and sy…
Spinal arthritis and physical stress at Bronze Age Harappa
This study examines joint changes in the vertebral skeleton in human remains excavated in 1987 and 1988 at Bronze Age Harappa, an urban center of the Indus Valley civilization. The sample consists of 23 complete skeletons from primary burial context, the partial remains of more than 69 other individuals, and hundreds of skeletal elements from secondary context, totalling 3,084 vertebral joint margins and articular surfaces. Marginal bone prolifer…
Skeletal and dental pathology of free‐ranging mountain gorillas
The mountain gorillas of the central Virungas have been the subject of field study for the last 30 years; however, our understanding of morbidity and mortality in these apes is limited. This paper describes pathological conditions of the skeleton and dentition of these animals and evaluates lesions in relation to behavioral and environmental data. The skeletal remains of 31 mountain gorillas from the Karisoke Research Center were examined for ena…
Biological differentiation at predynastic Naqada, Egypt
Cemetery T at Naqada has been postulated as being the interment site of a predynastic royal or ruling elite due to its small, localized area and the richness of its burial goods. In order to examine possible biological differentiation between the individuals buried in Cemetery T and those buried in other, possibly lower status cemeteries at Naqada, nonmetric dental morphological data were analyzed using the Mean Measure of Divergence statistic. R…
Dental disease evidence for agricultural intensification in the Nubian C-Group
The results of this study reveal significantly greater frequencies of caries, periapical abscesses and ante-mortem tooth loss in the Lower Nubian C-Group (ca. 2000-1500 BC) compared with the preceding Classic/Terminal A-Group (ca. 3100-2500 BC). More severe tooth wear in the C-Group, which traditionally would be interpreted as consistent with a hunting-gathering subsistence base, can instead be attributed to grit in the diet resulting from the pr…
Test of Phenice's technique for determining sex from the os pubis
Pubic bone morphology was examined to test the accuracy of Phenice's visual method for determining sex from the os pubis. Twelve participants scored 50 pubic bones from individuals of known sex aged 52–92 years. The sample is of modern males and females, all presumed whites. An accuracy of ∼83% in determining sex was recorded, compared to 95% reported by Phenice. This accuracy difference may reflect different age distributions of the two samples.…
