Plasma carnitine levels in children with down syndrome
Carnitine is responsible for several chemical processes, including lipid metabolism, nerve cell conduction, reduction in muscle hypotonia, and limitation in oxidative damage to cells. In patients with Down syndrome (DS), the process of growth is behind that of normal children and neuromuscular control is attained somewhat later. The purpose of this study was to assess variation in levels of carnitine in normal and DS children and the relationship…
Assessment of enamel hypoplasia in a high status burial site
Social differentiation is a characteristic of all societies, and higher social status is often associated with better nutrition and good health. Traditional archeologically inferred social status has been linked with biological evidence such as skeletal robusticity and the incidence of disease. In this regard, linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) is considered a good indicator of health, and individuals with a high status should, at least in theory, no…

Sexual dimorphism in modern Japanese crania
The Japanese population has gone through significant micro‐evolutionary changes during the last half century. One approach to quantify these changes is an osteometric analysis of sexual variation in the skeleton. The present study evaluates sexual dimorphism in modern Japanese cranial dimensions. Comprehensive osteometric data were obtained from 84 modern Japanese skeletons of known sex and age at death from the dissecting room collection at Jike…

The aging process in the rib
One of the most important paleodemographic and forensic determinations is age at death from the adult skeleton. Techniques now in use vary from direct observation of a bone to microscopic examination of a given segment. Yet since the 1920s, only a few parts of the skeleton have been focused upon for this assessment. It was not until the 1980s that a method from a new site, the sternal end of the rib, was introduced. The rib studies were based on …
The emergence of dental anthropology
En Barcelona, durante el siglo XVIII, comenzo a detectarse una creciente inquietud por asegurar convenientemente el abastecimiento de agua a la ciudad. Prosperidad industrial y crecimiento poblacional se dieron la mano para ir creando una ciudad cada vez mas populosa, que debia recurrir a nuevos proyectos que garantizaran un adecuado suministro de agua. El abastecimiento tradicional de Barcelona se basaba en el agua que se tomaba del rio Besos, a…
Odontometric profile of a prehistoric southeastern Florida population
This study analyzes and compares the dental size variation and sexual dimorphism of the Highland Beach Mound people, a late southeastern prehistoric aboriginal Florida population (ca. 800–1200 AD ) with a somewhat earlier midwestern group (ca. 200–800 AD ) and an Archaic sample (ca. 4160–2558 BC ). The lengths and breadths of maxillary and mandibular permanent teeth of 99 individuals were measured, and crown surface areas were calculated for the …
Spectrographic analysis of trace elements in archaeological skeletal material from Florida
Technological advances have resulted in the development of an additional approach to determining the dietary practices of prehistoric populations. Bones are known to retain certain trace elements, the analysis of which should yield valuable clues to subsistence. Since there has never been a study of this nature attempted on Indian remains in Florida, a qualitative trace element analysis, using an optical emission spectrograph, was made of bone sa…
Rise of forensic anthropology
Physical anthropologists have long been called upon to apply their knowledge of human skeletal biology to practical problems of concern to the medicolegal system. The discipline of forensic anthropology arose out of this need to determine and assess the characteristics of an individual. The present paper traces the development of forensic anthropology and analyzes its brief historical roots, methodological advances, and the role it now plays in b…
