Age-related disease or disease-related age? Perspectives for paleopathological research
OBJECTIVE: The interconnection of biological aging and disease throughout the life course profoundly affects almost every aspect of paleopathological research but is rarely explored. This paper presents a theoretical and practical framework for an informed research approach that explicitly acknowledges these complex interrelationships. METHODS: We discuss the existing concept of age-related disease and introduce the new concept of disease-related…
Ageing and disease risk factors
OBJECTIVES: To outline a methodology that enables the reconstruction of age-related disease risk in past societies. MATERIALS: Modern epidemiological evidence considering risk factors for age-related disease is combined with contextual information about an archaeological society of interest. METHODS: Data gathered is used to create a qualitative population-specific risk model for the disease of interest. To provide a case study, a risk model is c…
Colonialism, slavery and ‘The Great Experiment’
Burned Fleshed or Dry? The Potential of Bioerosion to Determine the Pre-Burning Condition of Human Remains
The practice of cremation is often interpreted as an alternative to inhumation, taking place shortly after an individual’s death. However, cremation could be a final stage in complex mortuary practices, with previous steps that are obscured due to the heating process. This project reports on experimental scoping research on a set of experimentally heated femoral fragments from modern and archaeological collections of the University of Coimbra. Si…
Osteobiographies
In this contribution I explore what osteobiographies represent by investigating them through the lens of local biologies, embedded bodies, and relational personhood. Rather than resulting from processes and events that happen to skeletons, osteobiographies are produced through the continuing interaction of genes, environment, culture, and society over time. Osteobiographies thus represent the result of the interplay between “local biologies” (Loc…
Ageing and the Body in Archaeology
The old are rarely the focus of research in archaeology. Older skeletonized bodies are hard to give a chronological age, and this seems to justify the lack of research focus. In this paper I argue that the old are not naturally invisible to archaeologists, but have been made so by a focus on chronology at the expense of the bodily and by our ambivalence towards the ageing process. I suggest that, rather than applying numbers to skeletons, we shou…
Finding Alcatrazes and early Luso-African settlement on Santiago Island, Cape Verde
After the Portuguese discovered the Cape Verde Islands in AD 1456 they divided its main island, Santiago, into two governing captaincies. The founding settlement in the south-west, Cidade Velha, soon became the Islands' capital and a thriving trade centre; in contrast, that in the east, Alcatrazes, only lasted as an official seat from 1484-1516 and is held to have 'failed' (see Richter 2015

The Non-Adult Cohort from Le Morne Cemetery, Mauritius
The cemetery of Le Morne in Mauritius dates from the 1830s and is thought to contain the remains of slaves, freed slaves or potentially free Madagascans, which in itself has economic and social implications and makes the cemetery all the more intriguing. During 2010, excavations recovered the remains of 11 individuals, of which six were children. Although a small sample, the burials of the non-adults show several interesting features. Two neonate…
Temporality and the Transition to Cremation in the Late Third Millennium to Mid Second Millennium bc in Britain
Time and temporality have been at the centre of a number of accounts of burial practices in the Bronze Age of Britain in the last twenty years. Up to now, however, the temporality of practice has been taken as an indication of past understandings of time and/or the ancestors. In this article I wish to argue that the temporality of mortuary practices was not merely reflective of understandings of time, but in fact was constitutive of them, and tha…
The king in the car park
Archaeologists today do not as a rule seek to excavate the remains of famous people and historical events, but the results of the project reported in this article provide an important exception. Excavations on the site of the Grey Friars friary in Leicester, demolished at the Reformation and subsequently built over, revealed the remains of the friary church with a grave in a high status position beneath the choir. The authors set out the argument…
Bodies, Burials and Ageing
There has been little attempt within archaeology to understand the social meanings specifically attached to old age, or the implications of the social construction of old age for the reconstruction of prehistoric social formations. This stems partly from the low social value placed upon the elderly in modern societies, which makes us tend to view them as irrelevant, and partly from the difficulty of accurately ageing the skeletons of older indivi…
