Insights into the anatomical expressions of anencephaly in three infants from 17th to 19th- century Lisbon, Portugal
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyse and compare the cranial morphological variations in three individuals, each exhibiting different severity levels of malformations. MATERIALS: Three nearly complete and well-preserved skeletons of infants from the São Domingos children's necropolis in Lisbon, Portugal, dating from the 17th to early 19th centuries. METHODS: Macroscopic and metric assessments were performed aimed at creating a detailed descripti…
Rituals of Fire in the 3rd Millennium BC
This paper presents the context of secondary depositions of cremated and non-cremated human remains in the ditch/atrium of the Carrascal 2 site, which is an integral part of the extensive archaeological complex of Porto Torrão in Ferreira do Alentejo (Beja). The discussion will include its placement within the surrounding funerary contexts, absolute chronology, bioanthropological data regarding a minimum number of 25 individuals, part of which cr…
A skeletal dysplasia leading to a perinatal death in 17th–19th century Lisbon, Portugal
Congenital skeletal disorders are a heterogeneous group of anomalies that become evident during gestation. They are expressed in the shape and growth of the bones during development because of a defective genetic background. With the follow‐up of pregnant women and the advances in prenatal ultrasonographic examination and molecular genetic tests, nowadays, congenital skeletal disorders are identified at an early gestational age. If they are consi…
Possible thalassemia intermedia in a child (16th–18th century) from the westernmost part of Europe
This study describes a non-adult individual with bone features suggestive of β-thalassemia, a disease commonly found in malaria-endemic regions today and in the past. The skeleton of a 5.5- to 6.5-year-old child exhumed from a 16th- to 18th-century CE necropolis in Almeirim (Portugal) was examined macroscopically, with a scanning electron microscope, and by conventional radiology and computed tomography. This individual shows frontoparietal diplo…
Comparing morphological (os coxae) and metric (long bone length) sex estimation methods in archaeological collections
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the internal consistency of sex estimation using metric (long bone length) and morphological (os coxae) methodologies from different bones and across different archaeological populations from different regions. Materials and Methods: Sex was estimated using characteristics of the pelvis and compared with sex estimations using long bone length. Portuguese (659 females; 906 males) and English (141 fe…
