Heterogeneity in experiences of vitamin D deficiency in an early to mid-19th century population from Montreal, Quebec
OBJECTIVE: To use the prevalence of prenatal/infancy interglobular dentine (IGD) as a proxy for suboptimal vitamin D status and explore its link to mortality, biological sex, cultural behaviours and environmental factors during the end of the pre-industrial/ beginning of the industrial period. MATERIALS: 50 skeletons from the St. Antoine cemetery (1799-1854), Montreal, Quebec with a well-preserved first mandibular molar. METHODS: Thin sections we…

Skeletal manifestations of anemia in the sternum in a modern clinical sample
Anemia is a globally significant condition, both today and throughout history. Studying how it affected past communities contributes to understanding its impact on vulnerable groups. However, anemia diagnosis in skeletal remains is challenging, and improving methods for diagnosis is necessary for moving forward. In current clinical practice, sternal bone marrow undergoes anemia-related changes, which could affect underlying bone structure, but th…
Note de recherche. Le long parcours d’el niño
Depuis le début du xxi e siècle, les questions d’éthique concernant la conservation des restes humains archéologiques dans diverses institutions sont devenues des préoccupations centrales tant pour les communautés que pour les chercheurs. En contexte universitaire, celles-ci prennent particulièrement leur sens dans le cadre de la gestion de collections héritées de recherches réalisées au siècle dernier. La redécouverte des restes squelettiques d’…
And Still, Ancestors Remain Out of Their Graves
This article addresses past and present bioarchaeological practices and human remains management in Quebec; it focuses on the challenges of creating a bioarchaeological database during a two-phase project initiated in 2018-2019 by the Kahnawake Mohawk Council. Its goal was to help Indigenous communities engaged in repatriation and rematriation procedures. Key information regarding human remains' current location from the 2018 database served as t…
Indigenous Human Remains Database from Archaeological Sites in Québec
This paper presents the preliminary results of a project initiated by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawa:ke and the Groupe de recherche ArchéoSociale/ArchéoScience (Université de Montréal) to create a database of archaeological sites in Quebec that included Indigenous human remains. This document will be a useful tool for the repatriation/rematriation process. Using existing inventories, the database collated various data points for each site, such as…
Weaning among Colonists from Montreal and Environs
This paleochemical study explores the differences and similarities in weaning practices between two colonist populations buried in Montreal and its environs: the rural village cemetery of Pointe-aux-Trembles (PT, 1709–1843) and the urban Notre-Dame cemetery (ND, 1691–1796). Forty-six teeth (or individuals) were microsampled in both crown and root parts of the dentine (one to four and four to six sampling sites for deciduous and permanent teeth, r…
Paleonutrition and Bioarchaeology
In the name of the father-in-law
In a range of eastern and southern African language communities, stretching from Ethiopia to the Cape, married women are enjoined to avoid the names of members of their husband's family as well as (near-)homophones of those names, and to replace tabooed vocabulary with substitute words. Although in-law name avoidance is a global phenomenon, the daughter-in-law speech registers thus constituted are unusual in their linguistic elaboration: they inv…
Historical human remains identification through maternal and paternal genetic signatures in a founder population with extensive genealogical record
OBJECTIVES: We describe a method to identify human remains excavated from unmarked graves in historical Québec cemeteries by combining parental-lineage genetic markers with the whole-population genealogy of Québec contained in the BALSAC database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The remains of six men were exhumed from four historical cemeteries in the province of Québec, Canada. DNA was extracted from the remains and genotyped to reveal their mitochondri…

Dietary habits in N ew F rance during the 17th and 18th centuries
Objective Little attention has been given, so far, to the early colonial diet in New France from an isotopic perspective. Historical records that compare France to New France suggest a shift toward a more diverse diet, including a higher protein intake due to an improvement in living conditions in the New World, despite the retention of ancestral dietary habits. This hypothesis will be explored here. Materials and methods Stable carbon (organic a…
Ancient Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency is now widely recognized as one of the most common health conditions in the world, with important consequences for overall health. Levels of deficiency appear to be rising, but the extent to which past humans were affected by vitamin D deficiency and the roles of this hormone in past human health are currently unknown. The discovery that mineralization defects in tooth dentin reflect periods of deficiency and are preserved in…

Late Stone Age human remains from Ishango (Democratic Republic of Congo)
Late Pleistocene Human Skull from Hofmeyr, South Africa, and Modern Human Origins
The lack of Late Pleistocene human fossils from sub-Saharan Africa has limited paleontological testing of competing models of recent human evolution. We have dated a skull from Hofmeyr, South Africa, to 36.2 ± 3.3 thousand years ago through a combination of optically stimulated luminescence and uranium-series dating methods. The skull is morphologically modern overall but displays some archaic features. Its strongest morphometric affinities are w…

Morphometric cranial identity of prehistoric Malawians in the light of sub‐Saharan African diversity
Little has been described of the Holocene populations of South‐Central Africa, despite the region demonstrating major subsistence shifts relating to dispersals of agriculturalists at least 2,000 years ago. Seven sites with associated human skeletal remains were selected. Hora, Chencherere, Fingura, and Mtuzi represent the Middle Holocene (2,000–5,000 years ago), and Phwadze, Mtemankhokwe, and Nkudzi Bay represent the Late Holocene and the arrival…
Differentiation of modern sub-Saharan African populations
In order to explore the biological effects on skull morphology of both geography and history, craniomandibular variation was re-evaluated in modern African populations, using the largest sample of metrical data available so far. This work focused on a both large-scale and long-term event such as the Bantu-speakers expansion that probably shaped, during last 5,000 years, the present biological diversity within sub-Saharan Africa. It was attempted …
