How and when the Americas were populated remains contentious. Using ancient modern genome-wide data, we found that ancestors of all present-day Native Americans, including Athabascans Amerindians, entered as a single migration wave from Siberia no earlier than 23 thousand years ago (ka) after more an 8000-year isolation period in Beringia. After their arrival to Americas, ancestral Americans diversified into two basal genetic branches around 13 ka, one is now dispersed across North South...
Native American population history is reexamined using a large data set of pre-Columbian mitochondrial genomes.
The purpose of this study was to describe the prenatal formation human mandibular canal. Since bony canals develop in life around nerve paths, it assumed that canal pattern could reflect innervation dentition. Mapping early does not appear have been undertaken before. material consisted anthropological mandibles from National Institute Anthropology and History, Mexico City. A total 302 hemimandibles latter half period investigated. length, measured mental symphysis condyle, ranged 28 60 mm....
Archaeological bones, found close to Mexico City (Tlatelcomila), with alterations due probable thermal exposure attributed a possible case of cannibalism, have been characterized by XRD, SAXS and SEM. It is shown how these non‐destructive techniques, which are not conventionally used in archaeological research, may provide useful information. The deterioration degree the bone structure quantified through parameters such as gyration radius or fractal dimension. As some reported modifications...
Contemporary and mummy hair samples are characterized compared, using modern chemical physical characterization methods.It is found that in cave conditions can be preserved even if it interacts with environmental dirt or soil, X-ray diffraction infrared spectroscopy results.Hair an ion exchanger the exposure to earth water facilitate interaction of some elements as shown by fluorescence, energy dispersive neutron activation analysis.Post mortem degradation detected through reaction cystine...
SummaryThe archaeoentomological study of insect remains recovered from a pre-Columbian funerary bundle (10th–11th centuries ad) is presented and illustrated. Among this material, 12 species belonging to 10 families four distinct orders have been identified. From the biological data different taxa, some hypotheses about practices hunter–gatherer semi nomads Northern Mexico are proposed.
Abstract Congenital syphilis has been diagnosed very seldom in ancient populations. The case that we examined comes from San Jeronimo's Church (17th and 18th centuries AD; Mexico City). Coffin 43 contained an incomplete skeleton of approximately 2‐year‐old infant. pathological lesions this include bilateral osteochondritis, diaphyseal osteomyelitis, osteitis and/or periostitis on the long bones. radiographic appearance depicts symmetrical osteomyelitic foci, particularly at proximal...
In Brief We describe the archeological and imaging findings of a unique specimen (skull mandible) with leontiasis ossea (LO) that is on display in National Museum Anthropology History Mexico City. The shows diffuse irregular periosteal bone proliferation, which produces grossly nodular appearance involving neurocranium facial skeleton. Plain radiography helical computed tomography revealed generalized hyperostosis obliterating maxillary sphenoidal sinuses 2 exuberant bony masses arising from...
Abstract The etiological basis of the abnormal coloration archaeological teeth has been an unsolved question for a long time. Differences in appearance some from Precolumbian adult and infant skeletons, detected by external optical inspection, led us to study this problem. A blue stain is visible few deciduous erupted teeth, brown color various unerupted collection, while spots appear on permanent teeth. Several processes or factors that may occur during one's life, others around time death,...
The effect of rheumatic and infectious diseases on skeletal remains provides an important source information for knowledge contemporary medicine. Few pathologic conditions have attracted so much interest as treponematoses. One these, syphilis, was the most feared venereal disease throughout civilized world until introduction penicillin in 20th century.To describe paleopathological ceramic illustrations treponematoses ancient Mexico.Paleopathological material examples from National Institute...
Bones from Tlatelcomila (Tetelpan, México D.F.) were characterized by several complementary physical and chemical techniques, such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission atomic force energy‐dispersive spectroscopy ultraviolet spectroscopy, to determine whether they boiled or grilled. The usual correlation between thermal treatment colour is revisited in terms of microscopic structure, morphology texture. At temperatures less than 100°C, it shown that depends not...
Se analiza a traves del tiempo el patron de frecuencia periostitis en la diafisis los huesos largos tres poblaciones Mexico antiguo con fin reconocer las distintas treponematosis (Bejel, Yaws y Sifilis) que dejan su huella hueso. Por resultados patrones cada poblacion se establecen fenomenos secuenciales, uno diferente anterior entre si. La enfermedad inicial tiene todas caracteristicas propias Bejel esta presente desde 3100 a.C. Tlatilco, Estado Mexico. Este mismo lo encontramos Marismas...
Background/Historical Perspective Facial asymmetry has been recognized and represented in Mesoamerican South American pre-Hispanic cultures. Summary This study aims to describe contextualize an ancient stone face carving from the Early Postclassic Period (1200–1500 AD) discovered during excavations for construction of what is now National Rehabilitation Institute Mexico City. The remarkable facial artifact, suggesting paralysis, a focal point interdisciplinary combining bioarchaeology,...
