Part one: Paleoepidemiology of degenerative knee disease
Medical Anthropology, 1977Abstract Degenerative knee disease is investigated in osteological samples from three human skeletal populations. The distribution of incidence shows Eskimos are the most frequently and severely affected group, and multivariate analysis further indicates localized age‐independent patterns of degenerative involvement within the knee.

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.

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.

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 ...

Porotic Hyperostosis and Paleoepidemiology: A Forensic Perspective on Anemia among the Ancient Maya
American Anthropologist, 1998Porotic lesions caused by childhood anemia are commonly found on ancient Maya crania and have been cited as evidence for extremely poor nutrition during the Classic Period. We reconsider this characterization in the light of recent data on childhood anemia in rural Guatemala and the prevalence of porotic hyperostosis in crania of forensic skeletal ...

The State and Future of Paleoepidemiology
2003Abstract The study of prehistoric pathogens and the evolution of general health (Cohen 1989) calls attention to a long-term pattern of interaction between human behavior and pathogens which demonstrates the profound importance of human social and ecological change on disease organisms.

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).
