The Lesser Rhea (Rhea pennata), a large flightless bird native to South America, held historical significance as a vital resource for Patagonian hunter–gatherer societies. Despite the species' cultural and ecological importance, the historical population dynamics of R. pennata remain poorly understood. Although present in the archaeological record, its abundance is not consistently documented and the reasons remain unclear. This study investigates the late Holocene population trends of R. pennata using ancient DNA analysis. By analyzing complete mitochondrial genome sequences from dated archaeological specimens, we reveal a significant population increase from 700 to 500 years Before Present (BP), followed by a period of relative stability from 500 to 300 years BP. Subsequently, a subtle decline in population size is observed, coinciding with the arrival of European settlers; however, due to considerable uncertainty in population estimates, definitive conclusions regarding this decline are challenging to make. Historical records indicate heightened rhea hunting during this period, coterminous with a decrease in the abundance of rhea eggshell fragments. It is suggested that climatic factors may have influenced these population dynamics, particularly favoring rhea population growth from 700 to 500 years BP. This study contributes to our understanding of the historical ecology and human-rhea interactions in Patagonia, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in reconstructing past population dynamics.

小美洲鸵(Rhea pennata)是一种原产于南美洲的不会飞的大型鸟类,作为巴塔哥尼亚狩猎采集者社会的重要资源具有重要的历史意义。尽管该物种在文化和生态方面具有重要意义,但人们对其历史种群动态仍然知之甚少。虽然在考古记录中出现过,但对其数量的记载并不一致,原因也不清楚。本研究利用古 DNA 分析方法研究了晚全新世 Pennata 的种群趋势。通过分析年代考古标本的完整线粒体基因组序列,我们发现在距今 700 至 500 年前(BP),其种群数量显著增加,随后在距今 500 至 300 年前进入相对稳定期。随后,种群数量出现了微妙的下降,这与欧洲定居者的到来相吻合;然而,由于种群数量的估计存在相当大的不确定性,因此很难对这种下降做出明确的结论。历史记录表明,在此期间,捕杀美洲小鸵的活动有所增加,同时美洲小鸵蛋壳碎片的数量也有所减少。有研究认为,气候因素可能影响了这些种群动态,尤其是有利于公元前 700 至 500 年间美洲小鸵种群的增长。这项研究有助于我们了解巴塔哥尼亚的历史生态学和人类与美洲小鸵的相互作用,强调了跨学科方法在重建过去种群动态中的重要性。

Animal domestication led to changes in the interaction between animals and humans, including new ways of exploitation, which could potentially leave lesions on the animals' bones. This study aims to examine changes in the prevalence of pathological manifestation following changes in human-animal interactions as a result their domestication. For this purpose, we studied 19,565 animal remains recovered from archaeological excavations, dated from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period to historical periods and assigned the pathologies into types. Of these, 60 animal remains presented pathological lesions. The suspected pathological cases were validated using a microscope, X-ray, and/or micro-CT scan. Lesions were divided into four categories: trauma, aging/musculoskeletal stress marks (MSM), periodontal diseases, and inflammatory processes. Then, our database was combined with previously published data to a total of 26,596 animal remains, out of which 128 demonstrated pathological lesions. We found that the prevalence of lesions in animals was higher in the historical periods compared with prehistoric periods. Moreover, based on a comparison between recent gazelles living in captivity and those living in the wild, we found that captivity resulted in the deterioration of the animals' health. We concluded that pathologies were more frequent in livestock in historic periods, in comparison with wild species and livestock from earlier periods. Such lesions were common not only in working livestock (cattle and donkeys) but also in non-working domesticates (caprines and chickens) and companion animals (dogs and cats). Variations in the pathological frequencies between these three categories may be attributed to differences in exploitation, including the intensification of farming and herding. Finally, this study provides a unique reference dataset for zooarchaeologists when studying ancient animal assemblages.

动物驯化导致动物与人类之间的互动发生变化,包括新的利用方式,这有可能在动物骨骼上留下病变。本研究旨在探讨驯化动物导致人与动物之间的互动发生变化后,病理表现的发生率也随之发生变化。为此,我们研究了从考古发掘中发掘出的 19,565 具动物遗骸,这些遗骸的年代从陶器时代前的新石器时代到历史时期不等,并将病理学分为不同的类型。其中,60 具动物遗骸出现病变。对疑似病理病例使用显微镜、X 光和/或微型 CT 扫描进行了验证。病变分为四类:外伤、老化/肌肉骨骼应力痕迹(MSM)、牙周病和炎症过程。然后,将我们的数据库与之前发表的数据相结合,共收集到 26,596 具动物遗骸,其中 128 具显示出病变。我们发现,与史前时期相比,历史时期动物病变的发生率更高。此外,通过对人工饲养的近代瞪羚和野外生活的瞪羚进行比较,我们发现人工饲养导致动物健康状况恶化。我们得出的结论是,与野生物种和早期的牲畜相比,历史时期的牲畜更容易出现病变。这些病变不仅常见于工作牲畜(牛和驴),也常见于非工作家畜(毛冠禽和鸡)和伴侣动物(狗和猫)。这三类牲畜病变频率的差异可能与耕作和放牧方式的不同有关。最后,这项研究为动物考古学家研究古代动物群提供了一个独特的参考数据集。

Cremation during the early period (1000 bc–600 ad) in the archaeological site of Matecaña (Pereira, Colombia) 马特卡尼亚考古遗址(哥伦比亚佩雷拉)早期(公元前 1000 年至公元 600 年)的火葬情况

Cremation was a common behavior during the Early period in the Middle Cauca region of Colombia. Nevertheless, few bioarchaeological analyses have focused on understanding this phenomenon. Four funerary urns from the archaeological site Matecaña (Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia) were analyzed to understand the cremation mortuary practice during the Early period (1000 bc–600 ad). For this, the cremains went through an anatomical classification that led to establishing the minimal number of individuals with the landmark system, as well as reconstructing their biological profile and interpreting the macroscopic changes made by heat exposure, such as colorimetry, the degree of cremation, the presence of heat-induced changes, and the temperature that the incineration reached. The results indicated that the funerary cycle had three processes divided into 11 steps. During the first process, an individual's biological death led to rituals and a temporary deposition. After the skeletonization of the corpse, the second process was the cremation itself. The combustion of at least 28 individuals of different ages (fetuses, infants, and adults) was intense (400°C to over 600°C) and finalized in the third process with their burial in funerary urns. This funerary behavior reflects the long-term relationship between the living and the dead.

火葬是哥伦比亚中考卡地区早期的一种常见行为。然而,很少有生物考古学分析侧重于了解这一现象。为了了解早期时期(公元前 1000 年至公元 600 年)的火葬习俗,我们对来自考古遗址 Matecaña(哥伦比亚里萨拉尔达佩雷拉)的四个骨灰瓮进行了分析。为此,对骨灰进行了解剖学分类,从而确定了具有地标系统的最小个体数量,并重建了骨灰的生物特征,解读了热曝晒造成的宏观变化,如比色法、火化程度、是否存在热引起的变化以及焚化达到的温度。结果表明,殡葬周期有三个过程,分为 11 个步骤。在第一个过程中,一个人的生理死亡导致了仪式和暂时的沉积。在尸体骨骼化之后,第二个过程就是火化本身。至少有 28 个不同年龄的个体(胎儿、婴儿和成人)在火化过程中受到猛烈焚烧(400°C 至 600°C以上),最后在第三个过程中被埋入陪葬瓮中。这种殡葬行为反映了生者与死者之间的长期关系。

Archaeological bird remains from the Oregon coast provide important insight into local environments and the interactions between birds and people on the North American Pacific Coast. We contribute to this discussion with an analysis of bird remains from the Late Holocene Par-Tee site (35CLT20) in Seaside, Oregon. We sampled the Par-Tee avifaunal assemblage to near-redundancy, generating the largest sample from a single site on the Oregon Coast to date (N = 7204). The Par-Tee assemblage is dominated by nearshore or estuarine birds including scoters (Melanitta spp.) and Common Murres (Uria aalge), as well as pelagic Sooty Shearwaters (Ardenna grisea). Because of the large size of the sample, we identified unique species such as the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), which are currently endangered and face conservation challenges. Although the Par-Tee avifaunal assemblage is diverse, site residents appear to have focused on acquiring the most accessible species in the nearshore habitat complemented by opportunistic pelagic hunting and/or scavenging of beached birds. Most birds appear to have been processed for dietary consumption, with possible preferential use of larger-winged birds for tool manufacture. These findings underscore the value and challenges of using legacy collections for evaluating past human–environmental interactions in coastal and other aquatic regions.

俄勒冈海岸的考古鸟类遗骸为了解当地环境以及北美太平洋海岸鸟类与人类之间的互动提供了重要信息。我们对俄勒冈州海滨全新世晚期 Par-Tee 遗址(35CLT20)的鸟类遗骸进行了分析,为这一讨论做出了贡献。我们对 Par-Tee 鸟类遗存进行了采样,采样数量接近零,是迄今为止俄勒冈海岸单个遗址中最大的样本(N = 7204)。Par-Tee 的鸟类组合以近岸或河口鸟类为主,包括凫(Melanitta spp.由于样本量大,我们发现了一些独特的物种,如加利福尼亚秃鹰(Gymnogyps californianus),它们目前濒临灭绝,面临着保护方面的挑战。虽然 Par-Tee 鸟类的种类繁多,但遗址居民似乎侧重于获取近岸栖息地中最容易获取的物种,并伺机捕猎浮游鸟类和/或捡拾被搁浅的鸟类。大多数鸟类似乎都被加工成食物食用,较大翅膀的鸟类可能被优先用于制造工具。这些发现强调了在沿海和其它水生地区利用遗留采集物评估过去人类与环境相互作用的价值和挑战。

Intralimb proportions provide insights into growth, development, populations history, and adaptation across human groups. However, the conventional approach of calculating brachial and crural indices for individual skeletons and comparing assemblages using sample means is not feasible in commingled remains. This study aims to assess the reliability of an “aggregate method” based on the ratio of sample means of limb bone lengths as an alternative to conventionally calculated indices. We examined the correlation between the aggregate and conventional indices using data from ≥124 worldwide groups (≥2000 adults). The impact of sample size, commingling degree, and within-group variation on the correspondence between conventional and aggregate indices was further evaluated using simulated datasets. Reliability was measured using the absolute differences between the aggregate and “true” population mean indices and the proportion of simulations producing large errors (>0.02, the average within-group variation among observed populations). Strong correlations are observed between the aggregate and conventional indices across groups in the empirical dataset. Simulation analyses indicates that larger samples improve prediction reliability, while increased commingling and within-group variation reduce accuracy. The aggregate method is robust when upper limb samples contain >30 bones (lower limb >50), with more than half of the bones representing proximal and distal elements from the same individuals, and the standard deviation in the index is smaller than 0.02. With sufficient sample sizes, the “aggregate method” is a reliable alternative for estimating average intralimb proportions in commingled and poorly preserved skeletal assemblages, enhancing the research potential of such collections.

肢体内部的比例有助于了解人类群体的生长、发育、种群历史和适应情况。然而,计算单个骸骨的肱骨和嵴椎指数并使用样本平均值对集合进行比较的传统方法在混合遗骸中并不可行。本研究旨在评估基于肢骨长度样本均值比的 "集合方法 "的可靠性,以替代传统的计算指数。我们利用全球范围内≥124个群体(≥2000名成年人)的数据,研究了总体指数与传统指数之间的相关性。我们使用模拟数据集进一步评估了样本大小、混合程度和组内差异对常规指数和综合指数之间对应关系的影响。使用综合指数和 "真实 "种群平均指数之间的绝对差值以及产生较大误差(>0.02,即观测种群的平均组内变异)的模拟比例来衡量可靠性。在经验数据集中,各组的总体指数和常规指数之间存在很强的相关性。模拟分析表明,样本越大,预测的可靠性越高,而混合和组内变异的增加则会降低预测的准确性。当上肢样本包含大于 30 块骨骼(下肢大于 50 块),且一半以上的骨骼代表来自同一个体的近端和远端元素,且指数的标准偏差小于 0.02 时,聚合方法是稳健的。在样本量足够大的情况下,"总量法 "是估算混杂和保存较差的骨骼集合体平均肢内比例的可靠替代方法,可提高此类集合体的研究潜力。

Osteoarchaeological identification guides: A new category of manuscript 骨考古鉴定指南:一类新的手稿

<p>Osteoarchaeological research is underpinned by the development and adoption of robust and replicable methodologies (Driver, <span>1992</span>; LeFebvre & Sharpe, <span>2018</span>; Lyman, <span>2019</span>; Wolverton, <span>2013</span>). Zooarchaeological identification methodologies make use of physical modern reference collections, digital resources, and published criteria to aid species identification (Driver, <span>1992</span>). High-quality identification guides and keys are important in a number of ways. They can provide useful support for identification by comparison to physical comparative reference collections, often the gold-standard approach, in particular through the definition of validated criteria for the morphological identification of a taxon across wider sets of samples (Driver, <span>1992</span>). They also demonstrate the reliability of identified morphological criteria (e.g., Lister, <span>1996</span>) and can also extend the taxonomic range from what is represented in some individual reference collections (Davis et al., <span>2024</span>; Yeomans & Beech, <span>2021</span>). As such, high-quality illustrated guides can broaden the utility of some comparative collections, which due to resource limitations do not have sufficient intra-species variation (Driver, <span>1992</span>).</p><p>Osteoarchaeological research is undertaken in diverse settings, with differential access to resources and facilities. Some specialists may be working in the field without access to physical reference material or the possibility of transporting samples for follow-up study with reference to more comprehensive reference collections. Osteoarchaeologists are working in academic and nonacademic contexts, such as for universities, museums, and commercial archaeological companies and as independent or self-employed specialists (Baker & Worley, <span>2019</span>; LeFebvre & Sharpe, <span>2018</span>). High-quality illustrated guides and keys can play important roles in the different settings and stages of analysis, from preliminary sorting of remains to final analyses.</p><p>We are excited to announce a new category of manuscript in the journal: “Osteoarchaeological identification guides.” These are papers that will provide advances in diagnostic criteria for osteoarchaeological research, such as zooarchaeological species identification.

骨考古学研究的基础是开发和采用稳健且可复制的方法(Driver, 1992; LeFebvre & Sharpe, 2018; Lyman, 2019; Wolverton, 2013)。动物考古学鉴定方法利用现代实物参考藏品、数字资源和已出版的标准来帮助物种鉴定(Driver,1992)。高质量的鉴定指南和钥匙在很多方面都很重要。它们可以通过与实物对比参考藏品(通常是黄金标准方法)进行比较,为物种鉴定提供有用的支持,特别是通过在更广泛的样本集中定义分类群形态鉴定的有效标准(Driver, 1992)。它们还证明了已确定形态标准的可靠性(例如,Lister,1996 年),并可在某些单个参考藏品的基础上扩大分类范围(Davis 等,2024 年;Yeomans & Beech,2021 年)。因此,高质量的图文并茂的指南可以扩大一些比较收藏的效用,因为由于资源的限制,这些收藏没有足够的种内变异(Driver,1992)。一些专家可能在野外工作,无法获得实物参考材料,也无法将样本运送到更全面的参考藏品中进行后续研究。骨考古学家在学术和非学术环境中工作,如为大学、博物馆和商业考古公司工作,以及作为独立或自雇专家工作(Baker & Worley, 2019; LeFebvre & Sharpe, 2018)。从遗骸的初步分类到最终分析,高质量的图文并茂的指南和钥匙可以在不同的环境和分析阶段发挥重要作用:我们很高兴地宣布本刊新增一类稿件:"骨考古鉴定指南"。这些论文将为骨质考古学研究提供先进的诊断标准,如动物考古学的物种鉴定。它们将对方法和实践做出重大贡献。这种格式为直观说明标准提供了更大的容量,还可以通过可下载的补充材料进一步支持。这种格式旨在灵活、方便作者,例如,无论研究的目的是为区分两个骨骼相似的物种(如 Lister,1996 年)、多个类群的相同元素(如 Bochenski 等人,2023 年),还是更全面的摄影图集方法(如 Davis 等人,2024 年)提供比较标准。作者不妨酌情纳入其他方面的内容,如在考古材料上测试标准、制作插图时参考的标本清单(Lyman, 2019)或对鉴定工具和实践的评论(Yeomans & Beech, 2021),以支持开展对动物考古学界有用的有影响力的研究。研究还应提供对其使用的重要理解,包括应用的局限性(Lyman, 2019)。在这里,我们专门为鉴定指南和钥匙建立了这一手稿类型,希望这将为此类工作提供一个有利的格式和场所。

Zooarchaeological identification methodologies make use of physical modern reference collections, digital resources, and published criteria to aid species identification (Driver, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;). High-quality identification guides and keys are important in a number of ways. They can provide useful support for identification by comparison to physical comparative reference collections, often the gold-standard approach, in particular through the definition of validated criteria for the morphological identification of a taxon across wider sets of samples (Driver, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;). They also demonstrate the reliability of identified morphological criteria (e.g., Lister, &lt;span&gt;1996&lt;/span&gt;) and can also extend the taxonomic range from what is represented in some individual reference collections (Davis et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;; Yeomans &amp; Beech, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). As such, high-quality illustrated guides can broaden the utility of some comparative collections, which due to resource limitations do not have sufficient intra-species variation (Driver, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Osteoarchaeological research is undertaken in diverse settings, with differential access to resources and facilities. Some specialists may be working in the field without access to physical reference material or the possibility of transporting samples for follow-up study with reference to more comprehensive reference collections. Osteoarchaeologists are working in academic and nonacademic contexts, such as for universities, museums, and commercial archaeological companies and as independent or self-employed specialists (Baker &amp; Worley, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; LeFebvre &amp; Sharpe, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;).

Perimortem cranial injury in the Bronze Age. A blunt object to the right parietal caused trauma in a preadolescent individual from Mokarta (Salemi-Sicily) 青铜时代的死前颅骨损伤。来自莫卡尔塔(萨莱米-西西里岛)的一名青春期前个体右顶骨被钝器击打造成的创伤

Sicilian protohistory was characterized by a progressive flow of indigenous populations towards the hills of the western Sicilian hinterland. Especially during the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age, the island's hinterland was marked by isolated settlements due to Siculi, Ausoni, Morgeti, and Elimi invasions and Phoenician and Greek colonization. In this scenario, Mokarta is an example of territorial autonomy and ethnic isolation (Sicanian) within an area of Elimi colonization. Its demise in the 11th century B.C.E, presumably at the hands of the Elimi, was rapid and violent as the settlement was suddenly abandoned following its destruction by fire. Symbolic of this event is an individual found at the entrance of a burned and collapsed hut who appears to have died from a cranial injury. This paper focuses on the osteological analysis of this skeleton, highlighting the perimortem injury, related to his death, and places the results within a forensic archeological context. The morphological pattern of the lesion is the result of a high-energy impact by a circular blunt object. The fracture, involving both the meningeal vessels and the brain, could have led to a fatal neurological trauma. The analysis of the cranial fracture and an anatomical evaluation of the affected area led us to conclude that the perimortem injury, inflicted on the right parietal, probably was the cause of death. The case proposed highlights how an integrated approach based on bioarcheology and forensic anthropology helps in interpreting an archeological scenario and formulating hypotheses about the circumstances of an individual's death.

西西里原住民的历史特点是逐渐向西西里西部腹地的丘陵流动。特别是在青铜时代晚期和铁器时代,由于西西里人、奥索尼人、莫尔盖蒂人和埃利米人的入侵以及腓尼基人和希腊人的殖民统治,该岛腹地出现了一些孤立的定居点。在这种情况下,莫卡尔塔(Mokarta)是埃利米殖民地区内领土自治和种族隔离(西卡尼亚)的一个例子。公元前 11 世纪,莫卡尔塔可能是在埃利米人的手中灭亡的,它的灭亡既迅速又猛烈,因为定居点在被大火烧毁后突然被遗弃。在被烧毁倒塌的小屋入口处发现的一个人似乎死于颅骨损伤,这就是这一事件的象征。本文重点对这具骸骨进行了骨学分析,强调了与他的死亡有关的死前损伤,并将分析结果置于法医考古学的背景下。病变的形态模式是一个圆形钝器高能撞击的结果。骨折涉及脑膜血管和大脑,可能导致致命的神经创伤。通过对颅骨骨折的分析和对受影响区域的解剖评估,我们得出结论,死前造成的右顶叶损伤可能是死亡原因。所提出的案例突出说明了以生物考古学和法医人类学为基础的综合方法如何有助于解释考古情景和提出有关个人死亡情况的假设。

This article aims to understand the impact of a condition causing multiple benign neoplasms on a historical individual, and increase understanding of disease processes using a paleopathological case. We present the case of an adult male from the Balizhuang site in Weifang City, Changle County, Shandong Province, China, dated by the burial artifacts to the Qing period (1644–1911 CE). The individual has multiple bony growths found on both long and flat bones, which were also observed radiographically. Imaging revealed that the lesions show continuity with the medullary cavity of the host bone. The individual also exhibited short stature, upper limb length asymmetry, and hip and ankle deformities. Conditions included in a differential diagnosis are myositis ossificans, parosteal osteosarcoma, and osteochondroma, with multiple osteochondromas (MO) being the most likely diagnosis. We also present historical texts suggesting the presence of osteochondromas in China. This may be the first case of adult MO reported in Chinese bioarcheology, helping to expand paleopathological data on benign tumors.

本文旨在了解导致多发性良性肿瘤的疾病对一个历史个体的影响,并通过一个古病理学病例加深对疾病过程的理解。我们介绍了一个来自中国山东省潍坊市昌乐县八里庄遗址的成年男性病例,根据随葬品可以推断出该病例的年代为清朝(公元 1644-1911 年)。该人的长骨和扁骨上都有多处骨质增生,放射学也对其进行了观察。成像显示,病变与宿主骨的髓腔呈连续性。该患者还表现出身材矮小、上肢长度不对称、髋关节和踝关节畸形。鉴别诊断包括骨化性肌炎、骨膜旁骨肉瘤和骨软骨瘤,其中多发性骨软骨瘤(MO)是最有可能的诊断。我们还介绍了表明中国存在骨软骨瘤的历史文献。这可能是中国生物考古学中报告的首例成人MO病例,有助于扩大良性肿瘤的古病理学数据。

The petrous parts of temporal bones are considered to be the densest parts of the human skeleton. Because of their high biomechanical strength, these elements can be preserved well even exposed to destructive processes. It has been proved that these bones are very well preserved in cremation graves and thus can be used as the foundation for anthropological analyses of cremated remains. The aim of the study was to determine the degree of shrinkage of the petrous portion of temporal bone under the influence of high temperature during the cremation. In a modern crematorium in Prague (Czech Republic), an experiment was conducted by burning 15 human temporal bones and a fresh pig's heads with soft tissues. Nine measurements were collected from each bone before the burning process. Cremation was carried out under controlled conditions in a modern cremation oven—the process took 45 min, and the temperature reached 1000°C. All the bones were burned together to maintain the same experimental conditions. Measurements of the individual bones were then repeated, and the significance of the dimensional changes was assessed. The presented study pointed out the significant size's reduction at level to 14% for dry petrous parts of temporal bones, while the size of fresh bones changed to 28% of their mass depending on the examined feature. Furthermore, the results of comparative analyses revealed that the differences between burning of dry and fresh bones are insignificant.

颞骨的石质部分被认为是人体骨骼中最致密的部分。由于其生物力学强度高,这些部分即使暴露在破坏过程中也能很好地保存下来。事实证明,这些骨骼在火葬墓中保存得非常好,因此可作为对火葬遗骸进行人类学分析的基础。这项研究的目的是确定在火化过程中高温影响下颞骨岩石部分的收缩程度。在布拉格(捷克共和国)的一个现代化火葬场进行了一项实验,焚烧了 15 具人类颞骨和一个带有软组织的新鲜猪头。在焚烧过程之前,对每块骨头进行了九次测量。火化是在受控条件下在现代火化炉中进行的,整个过程耗时 45 分钟,温度达到 1000°C。为了保持相同的实验条件,所有骨头都是一起焚烧的。然后重复测量每块骨头的尺寸,并评估尺寸变化的意义。研究结果表明,颞骨的干燥石质部分的尺寸明显缩小了 14%,而新鲜骨骼的尺寸则根据检查特征的不同而变化为其质量的 28%。此外,比较分析的结果表明,干燥骨骼和新鲜骨骼的燃烧差异并不明显。

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease commonly identified in archaeological human remains. This condition primarily affects stress-bearing joints, which include the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Comparing dental status and degenerative alterations of the TMJs of individuals is crucial for understanding the role of the former in increasing predisposition to temporomandibular OA. The combination of visual and radiologic observations allows for a more in-depth assessment of TMJ-OA in archaeological specimens. A comparative study between tooth wear and the extent of degenerative signs on mandibular condylar surfaces was conducted on individuals from two medieval cemeteries in central Europe (Früebergstrasse in Baar and Dalheim). OA, tooth wear, and AMTL were evaluated in 41 individuals comprising both adult specimens as well as those of a more advanced age. Condylar OA was diagnosed in 14 individuals (Baar, n = 7; Dalheim, n = 7). No specific sex predisposition for OA in TMJs was found in the study's sample. Tooth wear was more severe in individuals with condyles affected by OA than in individuals whose condyles showed no degenerative signs. Although dental occlusion could not be evaluated, tooth wear values seem to point to diverse mastication patterns when there is unilateral or bilateral manifestation of mandibular OA in the two medieval populations under study.

骨关节炎(OA)是一种退行性关节疾病,通常在考古人类遗骸中发现。这种疾病主要影响承受压力的关节,其中包括颞下颌关节(TMJ)。比较个体的牙齿状况和颞下颌关节的退行性改变,对于了解前者在增加颞下颌关节损伤易感性中的作用至关重要。结合视觉和放射学观察,可以更深入地评估考古标本中的颞下颌关节-OA。我们对欧洲中部两个中世纪墓地(巴尔的弗吕贝格大街和达尔海姆)中的个体进行了一项关于牙齿磨损和下颌骨髁突表面退化迹象程度的比较研究。对 41 个个体的 OA、牙齿磨损和 AMTL 进行了评估,其中既包括成年标本,也包括晚年标本。14人被诊断为髁突OA(巴尔,7人;达尔海姆,7人)。在研究样本中没有发现颞下颌关节骨性关节炎的特殊性别倾向。与髁突无退化迹象的人相比,髁突受 OA 影响的人牙齿磨损更为严重。虽然无法对牙齿咬合情况进行评估,但牙齿磨损值似乎表明,在研究的两个中世纪人群中,当单侧或双侧出现下颌骨 OA 时,咀嚼模式会有所不同。
