Chronic Disease and Disability in an 18th‐Century Portuguese Nun
This study presents an integrative approach to chronic disease and disability in a Portuguese nun who died in 1779. The aim is to interpret her condition by combining osteopathological and burial context evidence with written sources. It offers a concise example of how bringing these sources together can enhance pathological interpretation and support the reconstruction of soft tissue disease, disability, and the lived experience of disease in pa…
The social landscape of death
Funerary practices and burial sites offer valuable insights into how societies conceptualize death and an enhanced perspective on communities' social, economic, and cultural contexts. The integration of archaeological data, historical records, iconographic and documentary sources, and socio-cultural anthropology strengthens the understanding of death-related discourses, symbolic representations, and changing attitudes over time. Key funerary indi…
Inflammatory arthropathies
Arthropathies are common in past populations and can be categorized into two groups: those with predominant bone production (e.g., osteoarthritis) and those with significant bone loss (e.g., erosive arthropathies). The former is frequent in the archaeological record, whereas the latter are uncommon. We present a Post‐Medieval male individual, recovered in the Convent of the Holy Spirit (Loures, Portugal), with multiple articular and entheseal bon…
The anatomical bases of the 3D digital facial approximation of the Zlatý kůň 1 woman (ca. 43,000 BP)
In 1950 on Mount Zlatý kůň ('Golden Horse') in modern-day Czech Republic a system of caves was discovered. During many years of research in this area, human and animal osteological remains have been excavated, among which the most interesting ones were nine fragments of a female skull, now dated to ca. 43,000 yrs BP which are one of the earliest known anatomically modern humans in Eurasia. The aim of this research was to use purely digital techni…
O Neolítico Médio no sítio de ar livre da Costa do Pereiro (Torres Novas)
Os dados de escavação e laboratório do Neolítico Médio na Costa do Pereiro (escavado em 1995-2000) permanecem largamente inéditos. O seu processo de formação (camada 1b) apresenta diversas limitações (fatores de bioturbação, pequena espessura da camada, ocupações mesolíticas prévias, recorrência das ocupações neolíticas) mas apresenta preservação orgânica (restos botânicos, sobretudo sobreiro; faunísticos, dominados pelos cervídeos; e uma inumaçã…
The rarest among the rare? Acrometastases and disability in the past and beyond
Metastatic bone disease significantly impacts cancer-related morbidity and mortality nowadays. Herein, we present an adult individual, probably a female, with multiple osteolytic lesions, of variable sizes, distributed predominantly in the axial skeleton but also affecting elements of the appendicular region. This individual also exhibits atypical manifestations of metastatic bone disease, in the form of acrometastases-metastases in the extremiti…
African Presence in Portugal
The first reference to the presence of sub-Saharan Africans in Portugal was made in 1444 CE when several enslaved individuals entered the country through Lagos, Portugal. From that moment onward the amount of people and things arriving to the country originating in sub-Saharan Africa increased. Burials, ivories, and pottery provide evidence of the cultural contacts between Europeans and Africans in Portugal. This article analyzes the available in…
King Ariarathes Iv of Cappadocia (220–163 Bc)'s Impotence in the Light of Thyroid Disease
For a long time historical research dismissed the account about King Ariarathes IV of Cappadocia’s (reigned 220-163 BC) wife being unable to produce an offspring just as a defamatory explanation concocted by later writers to cover subtler political moves. Having palaeopathologically re-examined the biographical record of King Ariarathes IV in the light of a recently proposed diagnosis of thyroid goiter, by multidisciplinarily combining literary a…
Interpreting injury recidivism in a rural post-medieval male individual from Bucelas, Portugal
Injury recidivism studies assess the lived experience of individuals who endure multiple traumatic incidents, conveying a nuanced contextualization of individual suffering within a reticulate of social and cultural processes. During a recent archaeological excavation, a skeleton of a middle-aged male dating to the 17th-18th centuries AD was excavated in the churchyard of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit in Bucelas (Portugal). This individual exhibit…

Multiple osteochondromas in a 16th–19th century individual from Setúbal (Portugal)
An archaeological survey at the church of Nossa Senhora da Anunciada (Setúbal, Portugal) uncovered the remains of 92 individuals. Historical and archaeological data suggest that the inhumations occurred between 1531 and 1839. The present work reports the pathological features of a mature male individual exhibiting multiple osseous bony projections and bone deformity, mainly affecting the metaphyseal and adjacent diaphyseal regions of the long bon…
Leprosy in individuals unearthed near the Ermida de Santo André and Leprosarium of Beja, Portugal
Documentary sources refer to leprosy patients in the Portuguese territory since the first \ncentury AD, and in the Middle Ages around 70 leprosaria were established. However, prior to 2003 \nthis historical evidence had not been confirmed by archeological findings. The excavation performed \nin monitoring the rehabilitation done by the Polis program in the area of the Ermida de Santo André \n(hermitage of Saint Andrew) allowed the exhumation of s…
