Paleoepidemiology of vertebral degenerative disease in a Pre‐Columbian Muisca series from Colombia
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2008AbstractMajor manifestations of vertebral degenerative joint disease were observed on a Pre‐Columbian Muisca series from the Soacha Cemetery (11th to 13th centuries) Colombia, South America. In total, 1,646 vertebrae of 83 individuals were examined. Osteophytes, vertebral body joint surface contour change (“lipping”), and vertebral body pitting were ...

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).

The aim of this paper is to evaluate a case of osteoma of the zygomatic bone in a post-medieval individual in the context of a paleoepidemiological approach.Forty-five skulls from the plague cemetery of Alghero (Sardinia, Italy), dating back to the end of the 16th century, were evaluated for the presence of osteomata on the outer surface of the cranial

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

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.

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 ...

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.
