Social Determinants of Spinal Pathology in Adolescents From Urban Centers in the Post‐Medieval Netherlands (1650–1850 CE)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study of trauma in individuals undergoing growth and development remains an understudied area of research but can provide unique insights into the lived experiences and social identities of young people in the past. This study examines vertebral compression fractures and Schmorl's nodes in children and adolescents (1–20 years at death ...

Stature Estimation From Long Bone Lengths in Archaeological Skeletal Samples: Sensitivity of Regression Fit to Variation in the Correlation Coefficient

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stature estimation from long bone lengths yields varying accuracies due to differences in linear regression fit. We evaluated the impact of the correlation between stature and humeral, femoral, and tibial lengths on the performance of ordinary least squares (OLS), major axis (MA), and reduced major axis (RMA) fits.
