A test of a skeletal ageing method based on resorption of the alveolar crest following tooth loss using a skeletal population of documented age at death

Abstract

As with other bony age indicators, the relationship between SPCH and age varies in different populations. Further work is needed to evaluate the extraneous factors that affect the relationship with age.

The various meanings and uses of bone “remodeling” in biological anthropology: A review

“…Remodeling is also commonly used to describe healing processes or as an indicator of the chronicity of the disease. Lesion healing includes in‐filling of porosity or empty space, smoothing over vascular impressions or fracture edges, and erasing of defects (Beck De Lotto et al, 2022; Klaus, 2017; Mays, 2017; Papageorgopoulou et al, 2011; Verano, 2016), as well as obliteration of deformations or signs of trauma. Disease processes are considered chronic, or have occurred for some time, where acutely formed woven bone is replaced by lamellar bone have also been referred to as remodeling (Boocock et al, 1995; Mays et al, 2002; Ortner, 2003).…”
