“…The cases detected on the paleopathological record suggests that the bones of the knee are most frequently affected (Murphy and McKenzie, 2010), and the pattern tends to be bilateral or symmetrical (Ortner, 2003;Wuyts et al, 2014), as observed in our case. Most of the OCs observed in the skeleton 37 were of sessile nature, which is compatible with the clinical (Richardson, 2005) and paleopathological data (Murphy and McKenzie, 2010).…”

“…According to the clinical literature, the OC most commonly occurs in the distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal fibula, with these areas affected in c. 70-90% of cases (Greenspan and Remagen, 1998;Murphey et al, 2000;Unni, 2001;Ortner, 2003;Richardson, 2005;Waldron, 2009;Clement and Porter, 2014).

“…Clini cal studies refer to a prevalence of up to 25% of coxa valga and genu valgum in patients with MO (Murphey et al, 2000;Clement and Porter, 2014). Murphy and McKenzie (2010) listed 28.6% (n = 2/7) of coxa valga and 44.0% (n = 4/9) of genu valgum in the cases compiled from the paleopatholog ical record. Shortened stature is a feature often mentioned on both clinical and paleopathological reports, which can occur in c. 40% of the individuals (Richardson, 2005;Murphy and McKenzie, 2010;Wuyts et al, 2014).…”

“…Murphy and McKenzie (2010) recently reviewed the paleo pathological publications of MO, compiling 16 cases from a wide geographic (Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe) and chronological range (from the middle Bronze Age to the postmedieval period). However, according to this literature review (Murphy and McKenzie, 2010), the skeleton de scribed herein is the first evidence of this disease in southern Europe.…”

An archaeological survey at the church of Nossa Senhora da Anunciada (Setúbal, Portugal) uncovered the remains of 92 individuals. Historical and archaeological data suggest that the inhumations occurred between 1531 and 1839. The present work reports the pathological features of a mature male individual exhibiting multiple osseous bony projections and bone deformity, mainly affecting the meta physeal and adjacent diaphyseal regions of the long bones. The macroscopic and the radiological analy ses of the lesions suggest multiple osteochondromas as the most probable diagnosis. This is the first archaeological case of this disease known on the Portuguese territory and in southern Europe.

“…Esta complicación debe sospecharse si aparece dolor, crecimiento del osteocondroma después del cierre del cartílago, o hallazgos en los estudios por imágenes, dentro de los cuales las resonancia magnética es la de mayor sensibilidad (2,4,6). Los pacientes con osteocondromas situados en los huesos largos o esqueleto axial, especialmente la pelvis, tienen mayor riesgo de desarrollar condrosarcoma (7).…”

The synthesis of biological anthropology, archaeology, and social theory provides a bioarchaeological model to reconstruct nuanced aspects of demography, diet, disease, death, daily activities, and biodistance, even in the absence of discrete burials. Numerous skeletal assemblages in the southern Levant are composed of mixed and fragmented bones resulting from generational use of cemeteries, mass burial, and additional communal burial practices. Others become commingled due to taphonomic processes such as flooding, geological events, or human mediated mechanisms like looting, improper excavation, and poor curation. Such collections require one to ask broader questions of human adaptability, exercise a holistic approach, use broad demographic categories, and remain cognizant of the limitations posed by fragmentation. Expanded research questions and ethical considerations, the use of centralized databases and understudied collections, as well as the application of social media, citizen science, and crowd sourcing provide new tools for bioarchaeological analyses of the many commingled ancient Near Eastern collections in the southern Levant.
