ABSTRACT The paleopathological record of neoplastic conditions in the past is considered scarce. detection tumours ancient populations hindered by quality and quantity signs visible on skeleton, methodological approach, preservation remains, difficulties differential diagnosis. aims this paper are to report extensive multiple osteolytic lesions observed an adult male discuss possible etiology these lesions. individual, a 71‐year‐old who died 1932, part Coimbra Identified Skeletal Collection....
Abstract The estimation of the postmortem interval for skeletal remains is a crucial aspect forensic anthropology. This paper illustrates importance radiocarbon analysis establishing medico-legal significance and supporting identification, through three case studies which years both birth death were investigated. In Audresselles, Northern France, partial skull was discovered with no contextual information or identity. Radiocarbon dating yielded an average calibrated calendar age 4232 BCE...
Abstract Diseases that culminate into vertebral collapse are of intricate diagnosis both in palaeopathology and modern clinical practice. When analysing human skeletal remains from the archaeological record this difficulty is amplified due to absence complementary medical diagnostic information. This especially evident when distinction between tuberculous pyogenic spondylitis intended. Taking consideration challenging task based on macroscopic radiological study skeleton number 8, a specimen...
An archaeological survey at the church of Nossa Senhora da Anunciada (Setúbal, Portugal) uncovered remains 92 individuals. Historical and data suggest that inhumations occurred between 1531 1839. The present work reports pathological features a mature male individual exhibiting multiple osseous bony projections bone deformity, mainly affecting metaphyseal adjacent diaphyseal regions long bones. macroscopic radiological analyses lesions osteochondromas as most probable diagnosis. This is...
Abstract Metastatic bone disease significantly impacts cancer‐related morbidity and mortality nowadays. Herein, we present an adult individual, probably a female, with multiple osteolytic lesions, of variable sizes, distributed predominantly in the axial skeleton but also affecting elements appendicular region. This individual exhibits atypical manifestations metastatic disease, form acrometastases—metastases extremities, which are uncommon events current clinical settings. The individual's...
Abstract Arthropathies are common in past populations and can be categorized into two groups: those with predominant bone production (e.g., osteoarthritis) significant loss erosive arthropathies). The former is frequent the archaeological record, whereas latter uncommon. We present a Post‐Medieval male individual, recovered Convent of Holy Spirit (Loures, Portugal), multiple articular entheseal changes, particularly extensive periarticular, marginal, subchondral processes, often exposing...
It has been suggested that death seasonality could be estimated based on the dark/bright appearance of outermost dental cementum deposit. The few existing studies show variable accuracy rates. question whether estimating season-of-death represents a realistic and achievable goal can arise. This work, software-assisted procedure direct human observation, aims to critically evaluate applicability estimate in forensic anthropology. sample consists 20 canines from individuals belonging 21st...
