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

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 697-708, May/June 2026.
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 ...

The palaeoenvironmental potential of bioarchaeological isotope data

Communications Earth & Environment
Bioarchaeology not only provides insights into human, animal, and environmental ecology, but also generates huge amounts of stable and radiogenic isotope data that are not well recognised by other disciplines.

A Review of Research Aims for Historical Anatomical Skeletal Collections in the United States

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Many osteological methods used by biological anthropologists today were initially developed using historical anatomical skeletal collections such as the Hamann‐Todd and Terry Collections. However, these collections were amassed through state legislation that permitted the dissection and curation of unclaimed individuals.

Cortical Bone Loss in Barcelona Across Time (1st Century CE–18th Century CE) and Its Potential Relationship With Linear Enamel Hypoplasia

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to conduct a diachronic analysis of cortical bone loss in Barcelona, spanning from the 1st to 18th century CE, assessing the relationship between cortical bone loss and early‐life stressors, as indicated by linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) across Roman, Late Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern periods and ...

AABA Task Force on the Ethical Study of Human Remains Recommendations: Proposal for the Management and Oversight of Community Partnership and Ethical Stewardship of Human Remains

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethically responsible and culturally acceptable management, study, and stewardship of legacy skeletal and other human remains currently held and managed in scientific institutions is a longstanding concern that, over the length of these collections' existence, has been exiguously addressed.

Validating Dental Histology for Perinatal Age Estimation Using Human Deciduous Teeth

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study tests the accuracy of dental histology for perinatal age estimation using deciduous teeth from modern human infants of known age. We evaluate whether enamel and dentin incremental structures, particularly the Neonatal Line (NNL), can be used to provide a reliable estimate of chronological age.

Skeletal Dysplasia During the Bronze Age in Northeast Thailand (3000–2500 BP)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 318-324, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines a case of skeletal dysplasia in an adult male (B290) from the Bronze Age at the site of Ban Non Wat, Northeast Thailand. Skeletal dysplasia, a group of genetic disorders affecting bone and cartilage growth, presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features.

Long bone cross-sectional geometric properties of Later Stone Age foragers and herder–foragers

South African Journal of Science, 2014
Diaphyseal cross-sectional geometry can be used to infer activity patterns in archaeological populations. We examined the cross-sectional geometric (CSG) properties of adult Later Stone Age (LSA) herder–forager long bones from the inland lower Orange ...

Reliability of Species Assessment of Archaeological Cremated Bone Fragments: Confidence in Diagnosis and Interobserver Agreement

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 341-349, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The ancient practice of cremation has been documented across numerous cultures, yet burnt remains can indeed become a huge challenge for anthropologists, both in archaeological and in forensic contexts. The analysis of such skeletal material presents significant challenges associated with the alterations caused by the process of burning.
