Abstract This paper presents a revised version of the Coimbra method for recording fibrocartilaginous entheses. The itself is only biologically appropriate entheses that scores features separately, thereby ensuring aetiology individual can be studied. divides enthesis into two zones, scoring relevant in each zone. These represent either bone formation or destruction and include erosive lesions, fine macro‐porosity, cavitations. includes new feature, textural change, which scored as absent...
Variation in entheses has been attributed to repetitive mechanical stress, but age, sex, and genetics may also affect entheses. In this study, the insertion areas of pronator teres, biceps brachii, deltoid, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres minor subscapularis were measured. The skeletal sample included 137 American Blacks Whites from Terry Hamann-Todd Human (20th century) collections 238 skeletons Hawikuh, New Mexico (1300–1680 AD); Indian Knoll, Kentucky (3300–2000 BC); Hardin...
ABSTRACT A working group was established in 2009 during a workshop Coimbra, Portugal to review the various methodologies used record entheseal changes (EC) and develop standardised system facilitate comparisons across studies. This paper presents first results of Coimbra method, new qualitative method for recording fibrocartilaginous entheses based on types observed. Materials methods: The divides enthesis into margin (only area opposite acute angle fibre attachment) surface (which also...
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of body size, sex, age and birth year (secular changes) on 3D rugose surface area biceps brachii attachment site in a sample 85 White individuals from Robert J. Terry Collection. Entheseal areas were collected using NextEngine ™ scanner. Several osteometric measurements upper limb used initial analysis to determine which most suitable for use as size proxy. In general, articular dimensions correlate more strongly with entheseal than long bone...
Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a disease characterized by excess bone growth on the internal lamina of frontal and, occasionally, other cranial bones. Although fairly common in modern populations, its etiology poorly understood. has been identified antiquity, primarily Old World, but with much lower frequency than groups. The purpose present study to report multiple cases HFI at Pueblo Bonito (Chaco Canyon, New Mexico). Twelve out 37 adults observable bones exhibited HFI, ranging...
Abstract A number of researchers have hypothesized that the biomechanical forces associated with cultural cranial deformation can influence formation sutural ossicles. However, it is still difficult to make definitive conclusions about this relationship because effects appear be quite weak, and contradictory results been obtained when specific sutures types are compared across studies. This research retests hypothesis using a single archeological sample lamdoidally deformed, occipitally...
ABSTRACT Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and frontalis internus (HFI) are both characterised by abnormal bone growth, a late age of onset, an association with obesity, acromegaly various metabolic disorders. In this study we examined the co‐occurrence DISH HFI in sample 406 black whites aged 40–102 years old from Terry Collection, National Museum Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Fisher's exact tests showed was significant for females. present 19.6% 29.6% white...
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to contribute the current understanding variability complete sacral clefts in human populations by presenting new data on a large prehistoric and historic Native American skeletal sample ( n = 1943). Results are examined age, sex, time period, regional distribution compared with reported frequencies other modern, historic, ancient populations. In all, 1.6% exhibited clefts, including 2.1% males 1.1% females. Although exhibit frequency twice as high...
Abstract The “Validated Entheses‐based Reconstruction of Activity” (V.E.R.A.) method has proven to be a reliable for the quantification and analysis entheses. However, this only been successfully applied human hand bones animal long bones. This study tests general applicability V.E.R.A. humerus, focusing on evaluating its reliability repeatability. sample included 23 humeri unknown origin background. was six entheses comprising subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, common...
A majority of anthropologists find race to be a biologically meaningless concept and use terms such as ethnicity, which has acknowledged cultural components, describe the diversity human populations. While some medical journal editors have issued statements agreeing with this position, many researchers continue demographic variable. survey articles in Pediatrics was compared published Journal American Medical Association New England Medicine. Over 50% reviewed used term or “coded” racial...
