Weaving strength and care: Situated reflections on women's work and the epistemology of care in biological anthropology

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay examines how gendered expectations, structural precarity, and institutional hierarchies shape research practices, knowledge production, and career trajectories in biological anthropology. Taking the figure of the “strong woman” as an entry point, it questions celebratory narratives of resilience that frame endurance as an individual

Containing Histories Past and Present: Making Samples in the “Huntington Collection” (1893–1921)

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Huntington Anatomical Collection (1893–1921) includes the skeletal remains of immigrants, migrants, and lifelong New York City residents. The collection's formation was coeval with the formalization of physical anthropology, and the collection was made to serve research aims centered on race and origin.

Diachronic Trends in Dental Hygiene Over the Last 2000 Years in Milan, Italy: An Exploratory Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral health is a multi‐factorial condition influenced by diet, hygiene and sociocultural habits and its historical evolution can be traced through the bioarchaeological analysis of dento‐skeletal remains, offering unique insights into past lifestyles and public health trends.

The effect of living conditions on the stature of men and women: the case of south-eastern France (18th, 19th and 20th centuries)

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2023
In this paper we analyse the impact of different living conditions on the length of the femur, as a proxy for stature, of three Mediterranean samples with known historical contexts, and assess sex differentials in femur length changes.

Comparing the Accuracy of Osteological Sex Estimation Against Genetic Sex Obtained From Human Dental Calculus in 12th–19th C. British Individuals Accuratezza della stima osteologica del sesso confrontata con la determinazione del sesso genetico ottenuta dal tartaro dentale in individui britannici tra XII e XIX secolo

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives For anthropologists and forensic scientists, sex estimation using skeletally dimorphic traits is fundamental in biological profile reconstruction. Archaeogenetic research on past populations allows us to identify genetic sex generating opportunities to validate the accuracy of commonly used skeletal traits.

From Optimism to Opportunity: New Perspectives on the Osteological Paradox

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Osteological Paradox has had an immeasurable impact on bioarchaeology. It has spurred introspection, increased scientific rigor, and encouraged a suite of new and valuable approaches and methods to deal with the challenges it raises.

Child Burials in Vessels at the Middle Bronze Age Necropolis in Ostojićevo (1650–1550 BC)

Etnoantropološki Problemi
Burying children in vessels is a funerary practice as old as the art of pottery making. It was present in the Levant and European territories from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, with no continuity or clear geographical frameworks, leaving the question ...

Managing raw materials in Vinča culture: a case study of osseous raw materials from Vitkovo

Documenta Praehistorica, 2013
In analyses of material recovered from archaeological sites, a dichotomy often exists between ‘specialist’ and ‘archaeological’ studies. This is especially noticeable in the case of faunal remains and bone artefacts. Bone artefacts are sometimes treated

Provenance Analysis Based on Cluster In‐Betweenness and Support Vector Machines: Identifying Migrant Candidates Using Multi‐Isotope Fingerprints

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 607-619, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Provenance reconstruction using strontium and lead stable isotopes can produce complex multidimensional fingerprints, challenging traditional methods. Identifying nonlocals, who migrated between sites, is a major task. Migrants are identifiable by divergent multi‐isotope fingerprints due to isotopic mixing between origin and destination sites.

Evaluation of Morphological and Osteometric Sex Estimation on Historical Skeletal Material of Subadult Individuals From Germany

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives While sex estimation based on morphological features of the adult skeleton is considered reliable, it proves to be challenging, especially in skeletons of subadults. The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of sex estimation of the methods described below and errors within the observer and between observers ...
