Evaluation of Morphological and Osteometric Sex Estimation on Historical Skeletal Material of Subadult Individuals From Germany
Investigation of bacterial bioerosion phenomena in human bones
Verification of sex diagnosis methods in skeletons of subadult individuals
Critical consideration of morphological and osteometric sex diagnosis in skeletons of other subadult individuals.
Deficit of skeletal remains belonging to infants and young children - but not at every cemetery
A deficit of skeletal remains from infants and young children, especially those children in the first year of life, is often described in cemeteries and burial grounds for most time periods. Various reasons for this are proposed. The present study focuses on two Bronze Age cemeteries from northern Germany (Vechta and Uelsen), which illustrate that infant skeletal remains indeed remain preserved and is closely connected to funeral rites. In the Ir…
Evaluation of entheseal changes in a modern identified skeletal collection from Inden (Germany)
The present study aims to evaluate the frequency of entheseal changes (EC) in a modern skeletal collection from the rural village of Inden, Germany (late 19th-early 20th century), in order to identify general levels of physical activity. The sample is comprised of 66 individuals (51 males and 15 females), whose data on sex, age, and occupation were retrieved from church records. Fourteen fibrous and nineteen fibrocartilaginous entheses of upper a…
Cremations, more than just a little pile of ash
Cremated human osseous remains are an important yet challenging source material for anthropologists. This article presents basic information essential for the anthropological study of cremations as well as the potential of this source material in the reconstruction of funeral practices. The paper is based on one of the keynote lectures on the treatment of cremations presented at the workshop organized by the scientific work group "Paleoanthropolo…

Investigations of the relation between birth trauma and pelvic size in females from a medieval gravesite from Lübeck
This study proposes that female pelvises showing no birth traumata may have had ideal child-bearing bone constitutions, differing significantly in size and shape from those with severe traumata, resulting in advantages during parturition. Based on this assumption, the female pelvises of a late medieval mass grave from Lübeck have been examined in terms of pelvic osteometric standards in obstetrics, morphological aspects, the degree of birth traum…
Analyses to help identify individuals from a historical mass grave in Kassel, Germany
In 2008, the skeletal remains of more than 60 human individuals were found in a mass grave on the grounds of the University of Kassel, Germany. There was no evidence helping to identify them or throwing light on the cause of their death. Mainly due to 14C age determination and initial hints on age and sex distribution, historians hypothesized that they had been soldiers of Napoleon's army who died in an epidemic in the winter of 1813/14. To test …
Age diagnosis based on incremental lines in dental cementum
Age estimation based on the counting of incremental lines in dental cementum is a method frequently used for the estimation of the age at death for humans in bioarchaeology, and increasingly, forensic anthropology. Assessment of applicability, precision, and method reproducibility continue to be the focus of research in this area, and are occasionally accompanied by significant controversy. Differences in methodological techniques for data collec…
Histological study of compact bone tissue in some mammals
The purpose of this investigation was to study compact bone tissue microstructure of some mammals in terms of qualitative and quantitative characteristics, with an emphasis on finding an adequate identification key. Altogether, 36 femora of adult pigs, cows, sheep and rabbits were analysed. The qualitative characteristics were examined according to the classification systems of Enlow & Brown (1956) and Ricqlès et al. (1991) in anterior, posterior…

Cremated Bones - a biological Source for Gender Research
This article presents a project designed for prehistoric gender research. It focuses on the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age urnfield in Cottbus "Alvensleben-Kaserne", Brandenburg. The cremation remains were emptied from the urns layer by layer. This provided excellent conditions for a critical reconstruction of the funeral rituals related to the cremation. Detailed recording of each bone fragment in each layer made possible the discovery of the…
Climbing into the past—first Himalayan mummies discovered in Nepal
Incremental lines in prehistoric cremated teeth. A technical note
Incremental lines have been examined in cementum of modern human teeth. Their number is related to age. These lines are demonstrated in cremated teeth too and offer an additional feature for age determination in cremations.
