Investigating Diachronic Changes in the Temporomandibular Joint Surface With a New Approach for Three‐Dimensional Surface Area Measurements
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a key role in mastication, and its morphology is influenced by functional loading from biting and chewing. Major dietary shifts in human history, particularly those linked to agricultural and industrial transitions, have substantially reduced masticatory demands. The lowering of the mechanical stress supposedly led to a decrease in the TMJ articular surface area. Although diet‐related effects on craniofacia…
Forensic facial approximation of an individual with achondroplasia from medieval cemetery in Central Europe
Skeletal dysplasia of an adult male from medieval Łekno in Poland, Central Europe
The skeletal dysplasias are a group of more than 450 heritable disorders that affect bone and cartilage, along with muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Achondroplasia is one of the most common skeletal dysplasias in both current and past populations. It can be transmitted intergenerationally, or it can result from a mutation. This paper aims to describe the lesions visible on the skeleton of a 30–45 year old male with achondroplasia, who lived durin…
Elusive Goths in northern Poland
From 19 inhumation graves from the cemetery in Malbork-Wielbark (northern Poland) samples (teeth) were collected for the analysis of strontium ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) isotopes in order to try to determine the origin of the subjects. The chronological range of the analyzed statistical sample covers about 300 years of over 600 years of necropolis history, i. e. the period from the end of the early pre-Roman period (phase A3 – the last decades BC) to the C1…
Paleodemographic analysis of age at death for a population of Black Sea Scythians
OBJECTIVES: Studies of the demography of past populations involving deterministic life tables can be criticized for ignoring the errors of estimation. Bayesian methods offer an alternative, by focusing on the uncertainty of the estimates, although their results are often sensitive to the choice of prior distributions. The aim of this study is to explore a range of Bayesian methods for estimating age at death for a population of nomadic warriors-S…
Barrow 11 of the “Garden” Group in the Lower Dniester Region and Contemporary “Mythmaking” About Scythian “Amazons”
The article publishes and analyzes materials obtained during the study of the Scythian barrow 11 of the “Garden” group excavated in 2018 near village Glinoe, Slobodzeya district, on the left bank of the Lower Dniester, for the first time.The barrow was surrounded by a circular ditch and contained four burials – one infant and three female. The tools from the barrow are represented by knives, spindle-whorls, needle. The only piece of tableware was…
Archaeological and radiocarbon dating of the Scythian cemetery Glinoe
The reconstruction of the chronology of the Scythians from the North Pontic area has so far been performed mainly based on grave inventories. There was a belief among some scythologists that C-14 dating is less useful in the case of Scythian burials than archaeological dating. This is due to the fact that the latter was considered as a more exact method. Interestingly, some research on radiocarbon dating from the left bank of the Lower Dniester h…
Victims of a 17th century massacre in Central Europe
Interments of massacre victims typically differ from normal funerary practices. Bodies are commonly not orderly buried but are thrown into a single grave‐pit and exhibit multiple perimortem traumatic injuries. Although perimortem skeletal trauma constitutes the most direct and unambiguous evidence for violence and warfare in the past, analysis should take contextual information into account. The aim of our research is to examine the skeletal evid…
Could Robots Help Older People with Age-Related Nutritional Problems? Opinions of Potential Users
Background: The rapid development of new technologies has recently raised interest in the use of assistive robots in the care of older people. The success or failure of robots' implementation is mediated by their acceptance by users. The aim of the study was to answer the question of how both older people and caregivers perceive the possibility of using an assistive robot for nutritional support. Methods: Opinions of 252 respondents (126 older-ag…
Skeletal Evidence for Otitis Media in Mediaeval and Post‐Mediaeval Children from Poland, Central Europe
In palaeopathological research, otitis media (OM) is a rarely reported disease, although it is one of the most common diseases of childhood, with potentially severe consequences resulting in physical and social impairment, or even death. The episodes of OM are often preceded by upper respiratory tract infections, though the aetiology of OM is multifactorial, with significant role of environmental factors. In archaeological skeletons, middle ear i…
Warriors Die Young
Scythians were nomadic groups, playing a dominant role on the Eurasian steppes in the Early Iron Age according to many archaeological and historical sources. In this paper, we aim at assessing demographic features and dynamics of a Scythian population from the Black Sea region. We hypothesise that they differed from other societies not only in terms of culture, but also demography: their fertility was lower, and life expectancy higher than in oth…
