Exploring Pelvic Changes
Assessing Violence in a Museum Collection of Human Remains
This study explores how violence has influenced the acquisition of human remains for museum collections. A total of n =365 individuals with detailed documentation curated at the Department of Anthropology, Natural History Museum Vienna (DA-NHMW) are analysed to detect and utilize specific patterns, also with the aim to make predictions about the context of violence they were acquired from. This is done by comparing historical records with skeleta…
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…
Activity-related skeletal changes at the olecranon tip in three individuals from the Iron Age cemetery in Hallstatt, Austria
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe and interpret specific pathological alterations at the elbow as observed in the special context of the Iron Age cemetery at Hallstatt, Austria. MATERIALS: The study examined skeletal remains from 64 adult individuals from the Iron Age cemetery at Hallstatt Hochtal. METHODS: A macroscopic analysis was conducted to identify bony changes in the elbow region. Measurements of asymmetry and 3D surface scans were u…
Die letzten Zeugen einer Umbruchszeit. Zwei frühmittelalterliche Gräber von Wien, Zentralfriedhof
Die Wiederauffindung zweier außergewöhnlicher Gräber auf dem heutigen Wiener Zentralfriedhof, die in das 5. Jahrhundert datiert werden können, gewährt neue Einblicke in eine Umbruchszeit des Frühmittelalters. Die Neubewertung des archäologischen Befunds und der anthropologischen und zoologischen Überreste aus dem Jahr 1921 weisen nicht nur auf frühmittelalterliche, sondern auch auf latènezeitliche Gräber- oder Siedlungsspuren hin. Die Neubewertun…
Growing up Avar
This study investigates adolescence in the early medieval period in Austria by combining historical, archaeological, genetic, and osteological data. To better understand adolescence in the Avar period (650-800 CE), we consulted early medieval inscriptions and historical sources on steppe peoples and correlated them to the osteological findings on the timing of development and the pubertal growth spurt from two Austrian sites. We found that non-sp…
Gendered burial practices of early Bronze Age children align with peptide-based sex identification
Gendered burial practices that differentiate between men and women by the way the body was placed were used over large parts of Central Europe in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (c. 2900–1600 BC). Until recently, it was unknown if the sex-based differentiation of bodies was extended to children, and if the biological sex of the children matched the classification as men and women placed on the left/right side in the opposite orientation. …
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…
Challenging definitions and diagnostic approaches for ancient rare diseases
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…
The association of parturition scars and pelvic shape
OBJECTIVES: Pelvic features, mostly known as parturition scars, have been extensively studied in the last decades and are frequently investigated in archaeological and forensic contexts. It is still unclear, however, whether they really relate to pregnancy and birth, or whether these features are caused by other biomechanical factors. Because the length and difficulty of labor correlates with the form of the birth canal, we studied the associatio…

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…
Children in the mines? Tracing potential childhood labour in salt mines from the Early Iron Age in Hallstatt, Austria
The analysis of subadult skeletons from the Iron Age Hallstatt graveyard and archaeological findings from the contemporaneous salt mine close-by, yield promising new insights. The cemetery is located in a barely accessible mountain valley, next to the highly organised Iron Age salt mining manufacture. The way of mining is largely known from finds in the ancient mines, including distinct, repeated tasks for the miners. The finding of small-sized l…
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…

The New 'Coimbra Method
This paper presents a revised version of the Coimbra method for recording fibrocartilaginous entheses. The method itself is the only biologically appropriate recording method for fibrocartilaginous entheses that scores features separately, thereby ensuring that the aetiology of individual features can be studied. The method divides the enthesis into two zones, scoring the relevant features in each zone. These features represent either bone format…
