Abstract A large collection of identified human skeletons curated at the Bocage Museum (National Natural History, Lisbon, Portugal) has remained in relative anonymity since its collecting protocol was initiated 1980s. This originates from modern cemetery sources and is comprised 1,692 with basic documentary data (age death, place birth, occupation, residence, date cause death). At present, this information more readily available for 699 individuals. The remaining 993 are process being fully...
Abstract This study examines the relationship between measures of skeletal and dental development socioeconomic factors in a 20th century documented sample children from Portugal. The skeletons are known sex chronological age, include other biographic data, such as cause death. Growth length long bone is used measure growth, schedules tooth formation development. These two physiological age were compared to assess growth developmental status. Socioeconomic indicators obtained supporting...
Neandertal growth patterns The ontogeny of different parts the skeleton has been derived from isolated bones and fragments. Rosas et al. present a more complete child, aged 7 to 8 years, 49,000-year-old site in northern Spain. preserves dental, cranial, postcranial material, allowing assessment dental skeletal maturation with age. Most elements indicate an overall rate similar that modern human children. main difference between Neandertals humans is vertebral column. Also, several features...
This study documents the timing of epiphyseal union at innominate, femur, tibia, and fibula in a sample modern Portuguese skeletons. The was taken from Lisbon documented skeletal collection it is comprised 57 females 49 males between ages 9 25. Individuals are mostly representative middle-to-low socioeconomic segment early 20th century population. A total 18 anatomical locations were examined for using three-stage scheme: 1) no union; 2) partial 3) completed union, all traces fusion having...
Abstract This study completes previously reported ages for timing of epiphyseal union in the postcranial skeleton a recent sample, with data from scapula, clavicle, humerus, radius, and ulna. A sample 121 individuals between 9 29 (females = 65, males 56) was derived Lisbon documented skeletal collection. Epiphyseal scored at 16 anatomical locations, using three‐stage scheme: 1) no union; 2) partial 3) completed union, all traces fusion having disappeared. In upper limb, epiphyses elbow are...
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to test the association between linear enamel hypolasias and adult socioeconomic circumstances with age at death in a modern skeletal sample known age. Specifically, wishes whether there is relationship early life stressors, environmental quality premature mortality. Methods presence/absence LEH number episodes were recorded 113 males from Lisbon identified collection. quantified using regression binary logistic models, calculating crude adjusted...
This study further tests the general assumption that skeletal development is more sensitive to socioeconomic factors than dental in a sample of modern immature Portuguese skeletons (N = 41) known sex, age, and background. Skeletal was assessed from maturation knee schedules tooth formation. Discrepancies between physiological age (skeletal age) chronological were used as measure developmental status. A positive score indicates advance whereas negative reverse. Two groups, one low other high...
ABSTRACT Morphological traits of the ilium have consistently been more successful for juvenile sex determination than techniques applied to other skeletal elements, however relatively little is known about ontogeny and maturation size shape dimorphism in ilium. We use a geometric morphometric approach quantitatively separate ilium, analyze interpopulation differences onset, rate patterning sexual dimorphism. captured three total 191 ilia from Lisbon (Portugal) London (UK) samples age (0–17...
This study attempts to address the issue of relative living standards in Portuguese medieval and early 20th century periods. Since growth children provides a good measure environmental quality for overall population, skeletal profiles Leiria Lisbon were compared. Results show that femur length did not differ significantly from children, but after puberty adolescents seem have recovered, as they longer femora adults. is suggestive greater potential catch-up adolescents. We suggest this...
In this study, we compare root formation in a modern sample of living Portuguese children (n = 521), between 6 and 18 years age, with that similar known sex age child skeletons 114), who lived half century earlier, to assess secular change dental maturation.The roots seven developing permanent mandibular teeth were assessed for their maturation both samples. The median age-of-attainment stages was calculated using logistic regression compared the potential influence mortality bias...
Little is known about fusion times of the primary and secondary centers ossification in sacrum, particularly from dry bone observations. In this study, timing union these was studied a sample modern Portuguese skeletons (90 females 101 males) between ages 0 30 years, taken Lisbon documented skeletal collection. A three-stage scheme used to assess status as unfused, partially fused completely fused. Posterior probability tables age, given certain stage fusion, were calculated for most...
Existing child stature estimation methods have a number of disadvantages. This paper addresses some these limitations by developing regression-based formulae that are more generic and inclusive. A sample 142 individuals under 12 years age from the Hamann—Todd Human Osteological Collection New Mexico Decedent Images Database were used to generate five least squares linear regression estimate diaphyseal length long bones. All models showed excellent fits data (R2 close or at 0.98), internal...
Abstract The presacral vertebrae have various secondary centers of ossification, whose timing fusion can be used for age estimation human skeletal remains up to the middle latter third decade. However, detailed information about at which these ossification fuse has been lacking. In this study, epiphyseal union in was studied a sample modern Portuguese skeletons (57 females and 47 males) between ages 9 30, taken from Lisbon documented collection. A photographic record epiphyses ranges...
