O principal objetivo deste trabalho é a caracterização das atividades pecuárias e cinegéticas praticadas no Castelo de Aracena, entre os séculos X e XVI. Os resultados mostram o predomínio dos animais domésticos: porcos, cabra, ovelha e bovinos, mas também equídeos e aves de capoeira. A presença de animais como o veado e o javali sugere que a caça seria uma atividade complementar. Foram ainda identificados o coelho e vários carnívoros. Os vestígios de moluscos marinhos e peixe testemunham o seu ocasional consumo. As estimativas etárias sugerem tratamento diferenciado dos animais. As modificações ósseas evidenciam o processamento das carcaças com objetivos alimentares e, por vezes, de tendões, peles e fabrico de utensílios. A relativa homogeneidade dos principais táxones ao longo das ocupações, e a abundância de suínos, algo raro em contextos islâmicos, possibilitam duas realidades: ou depósitos faunísticos relacionados com as ocupações cristãs, ou uma comunidade islâmica atípica.
In 2015, several disarticulated human skeletal remains were identified in the top layers of the prehistoric site of Buraca da Moira Rock Shelter (Boa Vista, Leiria), during the archaeological excavation carried out under the scope of the EcoPLis — Human Occupations in the Pleistocene Ecotones of the River Lis project. The recovery of chert, constiquartz and quartzite blanks, a schist plate, as well as adornments in bone and shell indicates a Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic chronology. The disarticulated human assemblage, composed of a total of 129 bone and tooth fragments, allowed the estimation of a minimum number of six individuals. Among the remains recovered, an upper portion of an adult right ulna lacking the coronoid process was identified. Replacing it, a semi-oval groovewith smooth contours and exposing some trabecular bone was observed. The location, type of bone change, and the observed signs of bone healing are consistent with an uncommon trauma: a fracture of the coronoid process. In the differential diagnosis, both postmortem changes and developmental disturbances were considered but later excluded. The mechanisms that underlie the bone changes are discussed in light of the clinical and paleopathological literature.
The etonogestrel implant is the most effective contraceptive available. We report a case of ectopic pregnancy in a woman who had an etonogestrel implant inserted 15 months ago and the effective concentration of the implant was within normal limits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
