“…При анализе ископаемых останков V-VIII вв. с территории карпатского бассейна показано, что лобный внутренний гиперостоз варьировал в группах женщин от 2 до 9,5% женщин, в группах мужчин -от 1,2 до 4,2%; в X веке этот показатель увеличился: в женской группе до 16,9%, в мужской -10,3% [Szeniczey et al, 2019].

“…Лобный внутренний гиперостоз, или Hyperostosis frontalis interna (далее HFI) это патологическое состояние, характеризующееся беспорядочным разрастанием (утолщением) участков внутренней поверхности лобной кости [She, Szakacs, 2004]. В некоторых случаях, гиперостоз может распространяться на другие кости черепа, однако костные разрастания никогда не касаются сагиттального синуса тв рдой мозговой оболочки [Talarico et al, 2008]. Проявления HFI могут варьировать от единичных узелков, до массивного утолщения без четко определимых границ [Hershkovitz et al, 1999].…”

We have examined 942 skulls from the collections of the Anuchin Research Institute and Museum of Anthropology (13 craniological collections of the Arctic groups). We have analyzed the total frequency of HFI, used a comparative intergroup analysis, and evaluated the degree of HFI expression and the distribution of the trait according to sex and age. Univariate nonparametric statistics was applied. Results. It was found that the rate of HFI in the Arctic groups is much lower than in other groups of modern Eurasian and American populations. In the combined series, HFI was equally represented in both males and females. However, according to the age distribution, the male and female groups are different. HFI was more frequent in males in the Adultus and Maturus groups and in the Senilis group in females. Discussion. The significantly lower frequency of HFI in the Arctic series relative to the other modern groups show us a low level of metabolic disorders in the Arctic population and a good adaptation to the type of nutrition and living in extreme conditions. The obtained data show the predominance of the trait in the groups of mature and elderly women, and the appearance of HFI of different severity in men regardless of the age category. Probably, in the Arctic samples in women, HFI identifies metabolic disorders due to normal hormonal changes in women aging. HFI should be considered as an indicator of the presence of metabolic disorders in young and mature age in Arctic men group.

“…Others suggest that increased longevity resulted in changes in the human life cycle and hormone levels, indirectly causing higher frequencies of HFI in modern populations . A recent study of ancient populations from the Carpathian Basin showed a possible link between lifestyle and risk of development of HFI .…”

Hyperostosis frontalis interna is a common phenomenon, which may have been overrated in its significance in the past, and may, currently be underrated in its significance. We present three cases of hyperostosis frontalis interna found during medicolegal autopsies and discuss their forensic considerations. The patients were all middle‐aged women with metabolic and endocrine manifestations and psychiatric ailments; thickening of the inner table of the frontal bone of the skull was found during each autopsy. We describe the relationship between hyperostosis frontalis interna, metabolic manifestations, and neuropsychiatric symptoms as part of Morgagni‐Stewart‐Morel syndrome. There is still considerable disagreement in the scientific community as to whether this syndrome is a clinical entity. Nonetheless, awareness of Morgagni‐Stewart‐Morel syndrome can be of help in understanding the circumstances surrounding death. In some other cases, hyperostosis frontalis interna could be used by forensic pathologists as criteria for sexing and aging a skeleton.

“…Multiple studies (e.g., Kaupová et al, 2013; Mays et al, 2008; Primeau et al, 2019; Szeniczey et al, 2019) also yield results that suggest no differences between urban and rural settings. For example, Mays et al (2018) investigate vitamin D deficiency between urban and rural sites across the Roman Empire of Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia (first‐sixth centuries CE), finding no association between vitamin D deficiency and settlement type.…”

Toward a bioarchaeology of urbanization: Demography, health, and behavior in cities in the past

Urbanization is one of the most important settlement shifts in human history and has been the focus of research within bioarchaeology for decades. However, there have been limited attempts to synthesize the results of these studies in order to gain a broader perspective on whether or how urbanization affects the biology, demography, and behavior of humans, and how these potential effects are embodied in the human skeleton. This paper outlines how bioarchaeology is well-suited to examine urbanization in the past, and we provide an overview and examples of three main ways in which urbanization is studied in bioarchaeological research: comparison of (often contemporaneous) urban and rural sites, synchronic studies of the variation that exists within and between urban sites, and investigations of changes that occur within urban sites over time. Studies of urbanization, both within bioarchaeology and in other fields of study, face a number of limitations, including a lack of a consensus regarding what urban and urbanization mean, the assumed dichotomous nature of urban versus rural settlements, the supposition that urbanization is universally bad for people, and the assumption (at least in practice) of homogeneity within urban and rural populations. Bioarchaeologists can address these limitations by utilizing a wide array of data and methods, and the studies described here collectively demonstrate the complex, nuanced, and highly variable effects of urbanization.
