Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

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

A Clinical Study of the Distribution and Morphology of Harris Lines

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 344-356, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Harris lines are commonly used in bioarcheology to infer lifestyle in ancient populations; however, their etiology and identification parameters are still under debate. The aim of this study is to observe the distribution of the lesions in a contemporary clinical sample to address their association with etiological factors, age, biological sex,

On Making Descendant Communities: Three Case Studies From Historical Bioarchaeology

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Bioarchaeologists, museums and universities, journal editorial boards, and academic professional organizations are working toward ethical engagements with human remains, with a focus on descendant community engagement. This article reexamines past and present bioarchaeological descendant community engagement to consider how “descendant ...

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 ...

Kaelin Rapport - Histological Techniques for the Sex Determination of Skeletonized Human Remains [PDF]

, 2014
Determining the sex of skeletons is problematic in forensic and bio-archaeological research. Past studies demonstrate that bone cells can sometimes contain preserved sex chromosomal material in ancient samples. The sex chromosomes in skeletal remains may
