“…Subadult age at death was assessed using dental and skeletal criteria (Ubelaker, 1989;Scheuer and Black, 2000). Adult sex was estimated based on the morphology of os coxa (Bruzek, 2002) and skull (Ferembach et al, 1979). Field evidence indicates a wide range of mortuary practices involving primary burial in various positions, post-decomposition removal of skulls and long bones, and secondary deposits of heated (Valentin and Clark, 2013) or unheated bone, as well as secondary deposit of isolated skulls.…”

A B S T R A C TBoth archaeological and isotopic data document dietary changes over the first five centuries of Western Pacific island settlement, a time period beginning with the Lapita expansion about 3000 years ago. This change is marked by a decrease in marine food intake and an increase in vegetal food intake occurring in the Late Lapita/ immediately post-Lapita populations. The recent discovery of human burials at Talasiu (~2700-2600 cal. BP) in the Kingdom of Tonga opens new opportunities to assess this matter. We characterize the nature of the food items consumed by the Talasiu humans (n = 21) using collagen and apatite carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios. We conducted an intra-Pacific comparison to examine the use of marine resources and the contribution of horticultural products and to look at the homogeneity of dietary practices within the Tongan group. Isotope results indicate a mixed diet of terrestrial and marine resources including a differential contribution of more specific marine foods (e.g., non-reef fish/inshore fish and shellfish). The Talasiu dietary pattern appears closer to that of the early Lapita population of Teouma than to other Late Lapita populations suggesting a different pattern of dietary change at the eastern end of the Lapita distribution. The slower rate of change may be due to the small size of both the island and the population, and also the additional potential role of social or cultural factors.

Posibles casos de tuberculosis y brucelosis en poblados argáricos de Galera (Granada)

RESUMENUna de las características principales de las poblaciones argáricas de la Edad del Bronce de Granada es la existencia de una economía agropecuaria con la presencia de animales dentro de los núcleos poblacionales, lo que supone un riesgo de contagio. En este estudio se presentan unos casos atribuibles a dos enfermedades infecciosas de esta índole hallados en los poblados de Castellón Alto y Fuente Amarga, ambos en Galera (provincia de Granada). En estos yacimientos se han detectado cuatro sujetos que muestran formaciones de hueso nuevo en el tórax (escápu-las y costillas) que pueden ser indicativas de tuberculosis y además, en Fuente Amarga, un individuo presenta una lesión característica en la columna vertebral atribuible a brucelosis (epifisitis vertebral). Estos procesos no son de extrañar en poblaciones que tuvieron un contacto estrecho con animales. ABSTRACT One of the main characteristics of Bronze Age Argaric populations of Granada is an agricultural and livestock economy in which animals were present within the settlements. Such presence is a factor in the increase

“…Biological sex determination was based on methods which relied on classical morphological parameters of sexual dimorphism, namely morphological features of the pelvis such as the presence of a subpubic concavity, ventral arc and preauricular sulcus, the thickness of the ischiopubic ramus and the greater sciatic notch shape in the pelvis bone (Ferembach et al, 1979;Buikstra and Ubelaker, 1994). In addition, morphological cranium characteristics of the skull, such as the robusticity of the nuchal crest, the size of the mastoid process, the sharpness of the supraorbital margin, the prominence of the glabella and the projection of the mental eminence were also used (Buikstra and Ubelaker, 1994).…”

This paper reports the study of the osseous remains of an adult male (30-35 years) from a Spanish urban necropolis dating from the pre-industrial age (17th-18th centuries). We have diagnosed the presence of a severe unreduced forearm fracture, which has been classified as a Type I Monteggia fracture in the left arm. Injury occurred by a complete and poorly resolved ulnar fracture in its upper third. As result of this ulna fracture a radial head dislocation also occurred, creating a new articular surface on the humerus. The ulna also underwent two different types of angulation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anatomical changes of the elbow joint bones after a Monteggia fracture, assessing the completeness of functionality on the arm of this man. After the fracture, this individual lived the rest of his life with a permanent dislocation of his radius; therefore, loss of the forearm rotation, cubitus valgus, elbow instability and pain were all present. Movement was limited to an intermediate position or semipronative. A detailed description of the pathology is also accompanied by a discussion of the historical-cultural context in which this man lived and the common diseases of the population to which he belonged.
