Louse infestation of the Chiribaya Culture, Southern Peru: variation in prevalence by age and sex
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003 In order to improve the interpretive potential of archaeoparasitology, it is important to demonstrate that the epidemiology of ancient parasites is comparable to that of modern parasites. Once this is demonstrated, then we can be secure that the evidence

La paléoépidémiologie intégrative
Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2022 Infectious paleoepidemiology is a field of study that has received little attention in recent years. However, the restitution of infectious environments specific to ancient populations and the apprehension of infections’ impact on their health status are

THE PALEOEPIDEMIOLOGY OF POROTIC HYPEROSTOSIS IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST: RADIOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS [PDF]
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1975 Porotic hyperostosis was observed in 34 percent of 539 crania excavated from sites in Arizona and New Mexico. Common causes of this cranial pathology in the Old World (thalassemia, sickel cell anemia, and malargia) do not explain its occurrence in the American Southwest, as malaria and hemoglobinopathies are not known to have existed in the New World ...
