Estimation of age at death and histomorphometric analysis of cortical and trabecular bone from four Greenlandic mummies
Iliac crest and femoral bone specimens from four Greenlandic mummies were assessed. Estimated ages at death were calculated, cortical bone mass and bone histological variables from the cortical bone specimens and trabecular bone volume, surface area and diameter from the iliac crest specimens were measured. The cortical bone did not show pathological changes. The trabecular bone variables indicated that one woman was osteoporotic
Femoral diaphyseal histomorphometric age determinations for the Shanidar 3, 4, 5, and 6 Neandertals and Neandertal longevity
Histomorphometric analysis of femoral diaphyseal fragments from the Shanidar 3, 4, 5, and 6 Neandertals provide age at death estimates of 41 (± 6.7), 36 (± 6.7), 40 (± 6.7), and 24(± 6.7) years. These determinations are in agreement with previous macroscopic age assessments. Since the Shanidar 3, 4, and 5 (and slightly younger Shanidar 1) individuals are among the oldest known Neandertals, these age determinations suggest that significant postre‐…
Bone mineral‐osteon analysis of Yupik‐inupiaq skeletons
Living adult Eskimos from St. Lawrence Island, North Alaska, and Canada undergo an earlier and more rapid rate of age‐related bone mineral loss compared with U.S. whites. Further, it has been shown that Eskimos and Indians differ in patterns of osteon remodeling at the Haversian envelope. Femoral bone cores from adult Eskimo skeletons from St. Lawrence Island (n = 53), Kodiak Island (n = 92), Baffin Island (n = 44), and Southampton Island (n = 69…
New approaches to the pre‐ and post‐contact history of Arctic peoples
The last few years have witnessed the addition of new techniques and research strategies to the study of the population history of Arctic peoples. Osteon‐photon analysis of bone cores provides an improved method of assigning age at death to skeletons. Consequently, it is possible to improve calculations of life expectancy and relate them to pathological correlates such as osteoporosis, separate neural arches, spina bifida and arthritis along with…
