ABSTRACT The emergence of Portugal's Muge Mesolithic, with its characteristic shell middens and human burials, is widely seen as a response to the formation highly diverse terrestrial aquatic ecotone in Tagus basin by Flandrian transgression. Recently, some have suggested that this was an adaptive 8200 cal yr BP event. Using available radiocarbon data for middens, paleoclimatic data, paleoceanographic we present new model appearance Mesolithic changes settlement between Boreal Atlantic...
There is a significant number of funerary contexts for the Early Neolithic in Iberian Peninsula, and body information much larger Late Neolithic. In contrast, archaeological available period between (ca. 4800-4400/4200 cal BC) scarce. This period, generally called Middle Neolithic, least well-known peninsular sequence, at present there no specific synthesis on this topic scale. 2017, an exceptional context was discovered Dehesilla Cave (Sierra de Cádiz, Southern Peninsula), providing...
Abstract There has been considerable progress in recent years our understanding of the patterns cortical bone loss second metacarpal archeological skeletal samples. Nevertheless, data from reference collections are insufficient, and possible connection parameters with osteoporotic fractures not thoroughly addressed. As such, this article aims to identify explain sex‐specific age‐associated a large sample ( N = 302; females: 154/males: 148) Coimbra Identified Skeletal Collection. Another...

An intact archaeological context named Locus 1 has recently been discovered at Dehesilla Cave (southern Spain). The ritual funerary deposition consists of a complete pottery jar with part human calvarium over the mouth, and was occulted by large stone blocks. This paper offers presentation new data provided mainly stratigraphic, osteological, pottery, lithic radiocarbon analyses. A systematic review relevant evidence in Iberian Peninsula during Early Neolithic (c. 5600–4800 cal BC) provides...
This study examines changes in dental wear magnitude the past ∼8000 years, i.e., since Mesolithic until 19th century, southwestern Iberia. Thus, it encompasses transition from hunting-gathering to agro-pastoralism, and then industrialization of food production pre-processing.Dental was scored a total 191 individuals 1557 teeth (individuals=56; teeth=643), Neolithic (individuals=35; teeth=169), Chalcolithic (individuals =35; teeth=221), Modern Age (individuals=17; teeth=209), Late...

A osteoporose é uma patologia metabólica óssea com maior incidência nas mulheres pós-menopáusicas e camadas mais idosas das populações atuais. Caracteriza-se pelo decréscimo da massa resistência ósseas, aumento subsequente do risco de fratura. No presente trabalho, propõe-se, como objetivo principal, a compreensão dos padrões epidemiológicos perda cortical numa amostra indivíduos pertencente à Coleção Esqueletos Identificados século XXI (CEI/XXI) sua relação as fraturas fragilidade. Foram...
Identified osteological collections are important sources for pathological studies, especially when the causes of death individuals known. However, individual may have suffered from other disorders, not related to and thus absent written record death. The aims this paper describe signs perceptible on a skeleton, consider possible aetiologies beyond recorded cause Skeleton number 470 belongs Skeletal Collection University Coimbra, Portugal. This female died in 1933, pulmonary tuberculosis was...
