ABSTRACT: The acetabular region is often present and adequately preserved in adult human skeletal remains. Close morphological examination of the 242 left male os coxae from identified collection Coimbra (Portugal) has enabled recognition seven variables that can be used to estimate age at death. This paper describes these argues their appropriateness by analyzing correlation between criteria age, intra‐ interobserver consistence, accuracy prediction using Bayesian inference specimens....
Abstract: Methods to estimate adult age from observations of skeletal elements are not very accurate and motivate the development better methods. In this article, we test recently published method based on acetabulum Bayesian inference, developed using Coimbra collection (Portugal). study, evaluate its utility in other populations, methodology was applied 394 specimens four different documented Western European collections. Four strategies analysis were outlined: (a) each series separately;...
Discriminant functions have long been used to classify individuals into groups according the dimensions of their bones. Although lengths, widths, and diameters extensively used, circumferences not adequately validated. In this work, importance that bones can in assigning sex ancient human remains is demonstrated. The produced by using just one circumference achieved accuracies higher than 80%, at radial tuberosity radius able 92.8% skeletons from Late Roman site Mas Rimbau/Mas Mallol...
Abstract: In view of the difficulties in extracting quantitative information from burned bone, we suggest a new and accurate method determining temperature duration burning human remains forensic contexts. Application powder X‐ray diffraction approach to sample bone teeth allowed their microstructural behavior, as function (200–1000°C) (0, 18, 36, 60 min), be predicted. The experimental results 57 sections 12 molar determined that growth hydroxylapatite crystallites is direct predictable...
A recent discovery of Iron Age burials (Pazyryk culture) in the Altai Mountains Mongolia may shed light on mode and tempo generation current genetic east-west population admixture Central Asia. Studies ancient mitochondrial DNA this region suggest that played role a geographical barrier between West East Eurasian lineages until beginning Age. After 7th century BC, coinciding with Scythian expansion across steppes, gradual influx sequences Western steppes is detected. However, underlying...
We have critically investigated the ATR-IR spectroscopy data behavior of burned human teeth as opposed to generally observed in bones that were subjected heat treatment, whether deliberate or accidental. It is shown deterioration crystallinity index (CI) sometimes high temperature appears be higher frequency case bioapatite from teeth. This occurs because formation β -tricalcium phosphate ( -TCP) phase, otherwise known whitlockite , clearly ascertained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns...
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is crucial for understanding human population structure and genetic diversity. However, post‐mortem damage poses challenges, that make difficult. preservation affected by environmental conditions which, among other factors, complicates the differentiation of endogenous variants from artefacts in ancient mtDNA mix profiles. This study aims to develop a molecular profile can become useful tool analysing remains. A dataset 427 whole genomes or capture...
Una de las cuestiones más discutidas con relación a la cultura ibérica es el origen y significado los enterramientos infantiles, que aparecen habitualmente bajo pavimento determinados espacios domésticos. El objetivo este estudio analizar inhumaciones infantiles ciudad Ullastret (Girona, Cataluña) mediante una metodología antropológica incide en morfología, histología genética como forma evaluar hipótesis planteadas hasta ahora: muertes debidas causas naturales, posibles infanticidios o...
Multiethnicity in Teopancazco, Teotihuacan, is supported by foreign individuals found the neighborhood center as well diversity observed funerary rituals at site. Studies of both stable and strontium isotopes paleodietary analysis, suggest that population Teopancazco was composed three groups: people from nearby sites (Tlaxcala-Hidalgo-Puebla), afar, including coastal plains. In an attempt to understand genetic dynamics we conducted ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis based on mtDNA. Our results...
The use of ancient DNA techniques in human studies has been hampered by problems contamination with modern DNA. main problem that the object study belongs to same species as observer, and complete elimination risk is seemingly unlikely. Contamination even detected most specialized laboratories this field. In these kinds it therefore very important detect distinguish contaminants from authentic results. Here, we report a strategy authenticate identity mitochondrial (mtDNA), based on...
Pliopithecus (Pliopithecus) canmatensis sp. nov. is described from several Late Aragonian localities Abocador de Can Mata (ACM) in els Hostalets Pierola (Vallès-Penedès Basin, Catalonia, Spain), spanning approximately 11.7 to 11.6 Ma (C5r.3r subchron), and being correlated the MN8 (reference locality La Grive L3). The ACM remains display a pliopithecine dental morphology with well-developed triangles on M/2 M/3. This, together other occlusal details, negates an attribution subgenus...
Abstract Ancient populations have commonly been thought to lived in small groups where extreme endogamy was the norm. To contribute this debate, a genetic analysis has carried out on collective burial with eight primary inhumations from Montanissell Cave Catalan pre‐Pyrenees. Radiocarbon dating clearly placed Bronze Age, around 3200 BP. The composition of group—two adults (one male, one female), young woman, and five children both sexes—seemed represent structure typical nuclear family....
