Ancient <i>Borrelia</i> genomes document the evolutionary history of louse-borne relapsing fever Open
Several bacterial pathogens have transitioned from tick-borne to louse-borne transmission, which often involves genome reduction and increasing virulence. However, the timing of such transitions remains unclear. We sequenced four ancient B…

Kinship practices in Early Iron Age South-east Europe: genetic and isotopic analysis of burials from the Dolge njive barrow cemetery, Dolenjska, Slovenia Open
The burial of multiple individuals within a single funerary monument invites speculation about the relationships between the deceased: were they chosen on the basis of status, gender or relatedness, for example? Here, the authors present t…

Changes in health with the rise of industry Open
Since the publication of the Christ Church Spitalfields crypt, London, in 1993, archaeologists and paleopathologists have increasingly recognized the importance of post-medieval burial assemblages. Increasingly paleopathologists have explo…

The dark satanic mills: Evaluating patterns of health in England during the industrial revolution Open
This is the largest study of health in the industrial revolution that includes non-adults and adults and considers age-at-death alongside disease status to date. This data supports the hypothesis that the rise of industry was associated wi…

The impact of industrialization on malignant neoplastic disease of bone in England: A study of medieval and industrial samples Open
Increasing excavation and analysis of post-medieval cemeteries will provide more data. Multimethod approaches (radiography, CT, Micro-CT and histology) are encouraged.

An isotope signature for diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis? Open
Objectives Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has recurrently been associated with a rich diet (high in protein and higher trophic level foods); however, very few studies have investigated this link using carbon and nitrogen (…

10. Expoloring Age - Transition Analysis as a Tool for Detecting the Elderly Open
The growth of gender archaeology has improved the inclusion of female and juvenile narratives in archaeological discourse, enabling us to better understand interactions between groups defined by both social and physiological differences. T…

Comparing apples and oranges: Why infant bone collagen may not reflect dietary intake in the same way as dentine collagen Open
Objectives Recent developments in incremental dentine analysis allowing increased temporal resolution for tissues formed during the first 1,000 days of life have cast doubt on the veracity of weaning studies using bone collagen carbon (δ 1…

Techniques for Identifying the Age and Sex of Children at Death Open
The skeletal remains of infants and children are a poignant reminder of the perilous nature of childhood in the past, yet they offer valuable insight into the life histories of individuals and into the health of populations. Many osteoarch…

You are what You Ate: Consuming the Past to benefit the Present Open
You Are What You Ate was a British public engagement project funded by the Wellcome Trust between 2010 and 2014. It was a collaboration between the University of Leeds, the University of Bradford and Wakefield Council, especially its museu…

Evaluating osteological ageing from digital data Open
Age at death estimation of human skeletal remains is one of the key issues in constructing a biological profile both in forensic and archaeological contexts. The traditional adult osteological methods evaluate macroscopically the morpholog…

Infant mortality and isotopic complexity: New approaches to stress, maternal health, and weaning Open
Objectives: Studies of the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of modern tissues with a fast turnover, such as hair and fingernails, have established the relationship between these values in mothers and their infa…

Surface Curvature of Pelvic Joints from Three Laser Scanners: Separating Anatomy from Measurement Error Open
Recent studies have reported that quantifying symphyseal and auricular surface curvature changes on 3D models acquired by laser scanners has a potential for age estimation. However, no tests have been carried out to evaluate the repeatabil…

Quantitative Analysis of the Morphological Changes of the Pubic Symphyseal Face and the Auricular Surface and Implications for Age at Death Estimation Open
Age estimation methods are often based on the age‐related morphological changes of the auricular surface and the pubic bone. In this study, a mathematical approach to quantify these changes has been tested analyzing the curvature variation…
