Paleo-oncology in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt: Case studies and a paleoepidemiological perspective
International Journal of Paleopathology, 2018This article describes six cases of cancer from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt. A mummy had a confirmed 'primary' diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum. The remaining diagnoses were based on the distribution and types of skeletal lesions in conjunction with age, sex, and/or the molecular phylogeny of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

New method for assessing changes in growth and sexual dimorphism in paleoepidemiology
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1988AbstractThis paper has three goals. First, traditional methods used for analyzing growth disruption (GD) and sexual dimorphism (SD) in prehistoric skeletal populations are critiqued. Second, a new method, using adult vertebrae, is presented which helps overcome these limitations.

ABSTRACTVitamin D deficiency has traditionally been viewed as a metabolic bone disease by bioarchaeologists and considered primarily in terms of the development of specific musculoskeletal changes used for diagnosis in paleopathological research. These skeletal manifestations are usually interpreted as representing general ill‐health. Clinical research

The field of paleoepidemiology utilizes epidemiological and bioarchaeological methods and theoretical frameworks to examine aggregate patterns of disease and other health outcomes in past populations. Paleoepidemiological studies most often use data gathered from the skeletal remains of deceased individuals to investigate the origin and antiquity of ...

A holistic approach is necessary to investigate health in archeological populations. Molecular techniques, particularly multiplex PCR and SNaPshot minisequencing, can be combined with paleopathology and dietary analysis (stable isotope, starch, zooarchaeological analyses) to understand aspects of population health.

Paleoepidemiology of a central California prehistoric population from CA‐Ala‐329: Dental disease
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1990AbstractAla‐329 is a prehistoric central California site located on the southeastern margin of San Francisco Bay, dating from approximately 500 AD up to pre‐European contact. A large earth mound, Ala‐329, has yielded many well preserved burials, approximately 300 of which are included in this study.

A paleoepidemiologic study of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.
Joint bone spine, 2000To investigate the prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) in ancient populations.We studied 38 women and 61 men aged at least 30 years at death, whose remains were recovered from four cemeteries of the High Middle Ages (VIth to VIIIth century) located in Lorraine (eastern France).

AbstractDegenerative lesions are scored and frequencies of involvement are computed for a skeletal collection from Ca‐Ala‐329, a prehistoric site on the southeastern side of San Francisco Bay, dating from 500 A.D. up to European contact. A large earthmound site, excavations conducted there by San Jose State University retrieved close to 300 burials ...
