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 ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 215-228, January/February 2022., 2022 Abstract A wide number of factors can affect the structure of the bones in the foot.
