Sharp Force Trauma and Chop Mark Identification Bias: Experimental Evidence on the Effects of Bone Morphology, Cortical Thickness, and Ax Material

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sharp force trauma (SFT) is the main criterion used to identify chop mark butchery in zooarchaeology, yet its reliability as a diagnostic feature has not been systematically tested. Chop marks reflect both cutting and fracturing processes and exhibit characteristics of both sharp and blunt trauma.

Hidden Insights: Comprehensive Radiological Analysis of Four Skeletal Populations From 13th–19th Century Southern Finland Reveals Neoplastic and Other Lesions Invisible on Bone Surfaces

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to identify lesions confined to the internal structures of bones. A radiographic analysis was performed on 219 archaeological, historical period skeletons from southern Finland. Although the study examines nearly all preserved skeletal elements using plain radiographs, it does not incorporate computed tomography.
