“…Recording systems included those outlined by Steckel, Larsen, Sciulli, and Walker () for osteoarthritis (OA), osteoperiostitis, cribra orbitalia (CO), porotic hyperostosis (PO) and Schmorl's nodes. For OA, all left and right joint surfaces that form each joint were scored then combined by joint complex as detailed by Fox and Marklein (). For example, the combined left and right humeral heads and glenoid fossae represented the total surfaces available to score for shoulder joint OA.…”

“…For example, Ortner and Frohlich () observed one innominate fracture among 373 individuals at Bâb edh‐Dhrâ, but we do not know how many innominates were examined or whether the fractured element belonged to an adult or subadult. Scholars have recognized this shortcoming and more inclusive and comparable paleopathological analyses are emerging (e.g., Fox & Marklein, ; Papathanasiou, ).…”

“…These recent developments in Aegean and, more specifically, Minoan mortuary archaeology call for a reassessment of commingled bone deposits, which requires the adoption of an integrative methodology combining taphonomic observation, contextual analysis and theoretical framework, as recently advocated for the wider East Mediterranean (e.g. Fox & Marklein 2014;Moutafi & Voutsaki 2016). Accordingly, in this article, we propose to address the issue of the treatment of the dead in the collective tombs of Prepalatial and Protopalatial…”

“…Moreover, mortuary practices reflect social phenomena (Barrett, ; Branigan, ; Morris, ; Robb, ), and therefore, their study can offer insights into the sociocultural dynamics of the source communities. However, multiple burials, which have constituted a standard mortuary practice throughout human history (Bocquentin & Garrard, ; Brown, ; Fox & Marklein, ; Pearson, ), often result in commingled skeletal remains where the assessment of the demographics of an assemblage is hindered. Furthermore, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the health and potential cause of death of an assemblage from commingled skeletal remains (Ubelaker, ).…”
