Performance of DRNNAGE for macroscopic age‐at‐death estimation in contemporary Brazilian identified skeletons

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 1556-1567, July 2026.
Abstract In global forensic literature, methods for estimating age in young individuals are more commonly addressed than those applicable to adults. This trend is also evident in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the DRNNAGE software for age estimation in Brazilian identified human skeletons. The sample consisted of 400 skeletons (

A Fully Bayesian Approach to Adult Skeletal Age Estimation: Multivariate Latent Trait Modeling With Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ordered probit regression is used as a latent trait model, with age at death estimated from a Gompertz distribution. Combined with Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, this approach eliminates the need for reference priors for transition ages or population parameters.

Introduction to Human Osteology [PDF]

, 2010
This text was designed for use in the human osteology laboratory classroom. Bones are described to aid in identification of skeletonized remains in either an archaeological or forensic anthropology setting. Basic techniques for siding, aging, sexing, and

A Smile From the Past: Exploring a Fixed Bone Dental Bridge From Eighteenth/Nineteenth Century Porto (Portugal)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 639-645, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first documented case of a fixed bone dental bridge in Portugal. This item was recovered alongside the remains of a young adult individual of indeterminate sex from the 19th century burial site of the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo in Porto, Portugal.

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.

Cement Lines are Stiffer and Harder than Bone but Exhibit Different Mineral–Mechanics Relationships due to Thicker and Shorter Mineral Particles

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Bone's complex hierarchical structure contains many internal interfaces, including the cement line (CL) around osteons. This article shows that the CL is stiffer and harder than surrounding bone but has different mineral–mechanics relationships. These findings challenge the view of the CL as a soft, protective interface and provide insights for ...

Safety and Feasibility of Extended Platelet‐Rich Fibrin as a Solo Barrier Membrane for Ridge Preservation: A Case Series

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) has been commonly utilized for ridge preservation techniques either to introduce supraphysiological concentrations of autologous growth factors to the defect area (typically when mixed within a bone graft) or utilized alone as a solo “barrier” membrane.

Vascular Microforamina in Adult Human Braincase: A Survey on Dry Skulls

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Microforamina are small vascular passages on the endocranial surface of the braincase, connecting the diploe of the vault bones with the endocranial space. Recently, they have been hypothesized to be involved in brain immune response and inflammation.
