“…Close agreement between the two methods was found (Coppa and Macchiarelli, 1982;Coppa et al, 1990). Age was determined in previous research using osteometric and dental characteristics (Coppa and Macchiarelli, 1982) following Miles (1963), Acsadi and Nemeskeri (1970), and Masset (1971), and by the analysis of vertical sections of humeral and femoral heads (Nemeskeri et al, 1960).…”

Cross-sectional geometrical (CSG) properties of an Iron Age Samnite group from the Alfedena necropolis (Abruzzo, Italy, 2600-2400 B.P.) are compared with a Ligurian Neolithic sample (6000-5500 B.P.). In the period under examination, Samnites were organized in a tribal confederation led by patrilinear aristocracies, indicating incipient social stratification. In comparison, Neolithic society lacked clear signs of social hierarchy. The subsistence of both groups was mainly based on pastoralism and agriculture, but changes in habitual behavior are expected due to the socio-economic transformations that characterized the Iron Age. The Samnites' warlike ideology suggests that unimanual weapon-use and training would have become frequent for males. The intensification of agriculture and the adoption of transhumant pastoralism, performed by a smaller subset of the population, likely led to a lower average level of logistic mobility. The strongly genderized ideology of the period suggests a strict sexual division of labor, with women primarily performing sedentary tasks. CSG properties based on periosteal contours were calculated for humeri, femora, and tibiae (N = 61). Results corroborated the expectations: Alfedena males show substantial humeral bilateral asymmetry, indicating prevalent use of one arm, likely due to weapon training. In both sexes lower limb results indicate reduced mobility with respect to the Neolithic group. Sexual dimorphism is significant in both humeral asymmetry and lower limb indicators of mobility. Although both groups could be broadly defined as agropastoral based on archeological and historical evidence, CSG analysis confirmed important differences in habitual behavior.

“…This "complex method", also described in AcsAdi & Nemesk~ri (1970), combines [bur age indicators, one of them suture closure. On the other hand there are the critics: Singer (1953), Erank6 & Kihlberg (1955), Brooks (1955), Genovfis & Messmacher (1959), Powers (1962) and more recently Masset (1971). The last article entitled: "Erreurs syst~matiques dans la d~termination de l'~ge par les sutures cr~niennes" finally led to the more general article: "Farewell to paleodemography" (Bocquet-Appel & Masset, 1982).…”

By dividing a Dutch reference collection into two subsamples of different ages, remarkable differences were found in the suture closure process in these subsamples. Spearman rank correlations demonstrated that mean endocranial closure stage is correlated (P < 0.001) with age in the ages below fifty but not in tEe ages above fifty. In the latter ages the closure stage of individual suture sections showed positive as well as negative correlations (0'001 ~< P < 0.05) with age at death. Therefore two different suture closure indices were introduced as age indicators, one for each subsample. Both indices are correlated (P < 0"001) with age within their subsample. It is supposed that the required division into subsamples may be realized with the help of other age indicators. As possible age indicator, especially when used together with others in "complex methods", suture closure has not yet served its turn.

“…Metody založené na hodnocení doby srůstání a uzávěru lebečních švů jsou ovlivněny velkou variabilitou doby začátku i ukončení srůstání. Doba srůstání lebečních švů je sexuálně dimorfním znakem (Masset 1971;Hajniš -Novák 1984), proto je odhad věku na tomto základě možno považovat spíše za orientační. Zvláště ve vyšších věkových kategoriích může chyba odhadu dosahovat i 10 a více let (Masset 1971).…”

Alternativní metody ze skupiny makroskopických-osteologických metod (sledování změn na sternálním konci klíční kosti či na facies symphysialis ossis pubis) byly vzhledem k fragmentární povaze kosterního materiálu neproveditelné.…”

ABSTRAKT Při záchranném archeologickém výzkumu slavkovské šibenice byly objeveny lidské kosterní pozůstatky, kumulované v několika shlucích v neanatomickém uspořádání. Při laboratorním zpracování byly určeny základní demografické charakteristiky souboru. Vzhledem k charakteru nálezu nebylo možno identifikovat kompletní kostry jedinců. Minimální počet jedinců (s využitím pravých stehenních kostí) byl stanoven na 15. Tělesná výška byla odhadnuta s využitím metody organické korelace dle Sjøvolda. Nejvyšší jedinec měřil 173,0 cm (±4,52 cm), nejnižší jedinec měřil 157,5 cm (±4,52 cm). Kromě dospělých jedinců byly objeveny i pozůstatky dvou nedospělých jedinců (dožitý věk byl odhadnut na 16-17 let). Všichni dospělí jedinci příslušeli do věkových kategorií adultus a maturus, nejstarší z nich se dožil kolem 50 let. Mezi kosterními pozůstatky se nacházely ostatky jedné ženy. V souboru byly také nalezeny některé velmi zřídka se vyskytující anatomické variety (spina bifida anterior et posterior atlantis, os bregmaticum), doklady komplikovaného hojení traumatu i doklady nezhojených fraktur kostí dlouhého typu vzniklých perimortem. U dvou kostí byly též zaznamenány doklady zánětlivého onemocnění (pravděpodobně syfilis). KEY WORDS gallows; skeletal remains; trauma; anatomical varietiesABSTRACT During a development-led archaeological research of the Slavkov gallows non-anatomically positioned human remains were uncovered in several complex accumulations. The remains were analyzed in a laboratory and fundamental demographic characteristics of the sample were assessed. With regard to the character of the find complete individual skeletons were not identifiable. Minimum number of individuals (MNI, using right femora) was established at 15. Body height was estimated using the organic correlation method by Sjøvold. The tallest individual measured 173,0 cm (±4,52 cm), the shortest individual measured 157,5 cm (±4,52 cm). Besides adult individuals also skeletal remains of two adolescents were uncovered (their age at death was estimated at 16-17 years of age). All the adult individuals belonged to the adultus and maturus categories, the oldest one lived to be approximately 50 years old. Skeletal remains of one female were uncovered. Also, the skeletal remains sample yielded some very infrequent anatomical varieties (spina bifida anterior et posterior atlantis, os bregmaticum), evidence of complicated healing process of skeletal trauma as well as evidence of non-healed long bone fractures which originated perimortem. In two cases of long bones evidence of inflammatory disease (likely syphillis) was observed.
