Age assessment at the time of death based on panoramic radiography [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005
Background. The determination of age at the time of death is an important method in forensic anthropology and paleodemography. The possible postmortem investigation of the teeth and jaws enables the determination of age at the time of death, as the bones

A Bayesian alternative for aoristic analyses in archaeology

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue S1, Page 7-30, June 2025.
Abstract Aoristic analysis is often used to handle chronological uncertainties of datasets where scientific dates (e.g., 14C and OSL) are unavailable, and observations are described by association to archaeological periods or phases. Although several advances have been made over the last 2 decades, the basic principle of this approach remains ...

The Andreеvskoye lake system at the Turn of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages: paleo-landscape mapping, bioproductivity assessment and demographic capacity of the territory (Tura and Pyshma interfluve, West Siberia)

Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2019
On the basis of complex paleogeographic studies, we have created a large-scale paleo-landscape map covering the territory of the Andreevskoye lake flow system, in-between the Tura and the Pyshma rivers (West Siberia), for the interval of 2850–2600 cal ...

The uncertain death. Estimating mortality structure by random sampling

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Imprecise data produced by commonly applied osteological age‐at‐death estimations profoundly affect all research on age‐dependent mortality in past societies. With uncertain death estimation (UCD), we propose a novel approach to estimating the mortality structure from imprecise data and present a corresponding R package for simple application.

The intersectional effects of sex and socioeconomic status on risk of mortality in industrializing England

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 3, November 2024.
Abstract Objectives Intersectionality posits that multiple levels of marginalization interact to produce patterns of frailty and mortality, both today and in the past. To investigate how mortality during industrialization was selective with respect to sex and socioeconomic status (SES), this study analyzes data from four burial grounds dated to the ...

“Heal the sick”: Health status and caregiving during the 17th–18th century in Northern Italy (St. Biagio cemetery, Ravenna)

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 125-140, January 2024.
Abstract Objective The study of health‐related care provision in archeology gives important indications on the culture and community organization of past populations. This study aims to assess the health status of the skeletal assemblage recovered from the burial site of St. Biagio (Ravenna, 17th–18th Centuries); next, we identified likely instances of
