reliability in age determination by pulp tooth ratio in upper canines in Skeletal Remains
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2006Co-Authors: Roberto Cameriere, Giuseppe Brogi, Luigi Ferrante, Dora Mirtella, Claudia Vultaggio, Mariano Cingolani, Gino FornaciariAbstract:Estimation of age of Skeletal Remains is one of the most complex questions for anthropologists. The most common macroscopic methods are based on dental wear and histological evaluation of bone remodeling. These methods are often qualitative, require great technical expertise, and have proved inexact in the estimation of ages over 50 years. Certain dental methods investigate the apposition of secondary dentine, in the study of tooth cross-sections, and X-rays to study width, height, and pulp area. The primary author previously proposed a method of estimating the age of a living person based on the pulp/tooth ratio (PTR) method in the upper canines. The aim of the present study is to verify whether the PTR method can also be used to estimate the age at death of Skeletal Remains. This paper investigates the study of historical samples of known age as a means to validate the proposed method.

macroscopic features of scurvy in human Skeletal Remains a literature synthesis and diagnostic guide
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2018Co-Authors: Anne Marie E Snoddy, Hallie R. Buckley, Gail E Elliott, Vivien G Standen, Bernardo Arriaza, Siân E HalcrowAbstract:The past two decades have seen a proliferation in bioarchaeological literature on the identification of scurvy, a disease caused by chronic vitamin C deficiency, in ancient human Remains. This condition is one of the few nutritional deficiencies that can result in diagnostic osseous lesions. Scurvy is associated with low dietary diversity and its identification in human Skeletal Remains can provide important contextual information on subsistence strategy, resource allocation, and human-environmental interactions in past populations. A large and robust methodological body of work on the paleopathology of scurvy exists. However, the diagnostic criteria for this disease employed by bioarchaeologists have not always been uniform. Here we draw from previous research on the Skeletal manifestations of scurvy in adult and juvenile human Skeletal Remains and propose a weighted diagnostic system for its identification that takes into account the pathophysiology of the disease, soft tissue anatomy, and clinical research. Using a sample of individuals from the prehistoric Atacama Desert in Northern Chile, we also provide a practical example of how diagnostic value might be assigned to Skeletal lesions of the disease that have not been previously described in the literature.

Application of Bement's Spray Sealant Technique to Infant Skeletal Remains
Journal of Field Archaeology, 1995Co-Authors: Helen Danzeiser DockallAbstract:AbstractA 1985 article in JFA introduced a technique for stabilizing adult human Skeletal Remains. A modification of this technique was developed for the removal of two fragile infant burials from a Caddoan site in east Texas that enabled the excavators to remove and transport the pedestaled burials to a laboratory setting for more precise and detailed excavation. Details of this application are described, as is the utility of this method.

Identifying Skeletal Remains found in a sewer
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 2002Co-Authors: Norman R. Goodman, Linda K. HimmelbergerAbstract:Background Dental identification of Skeletal Remains frequently is accomplished via comparison of antemortem and postmortem radiographs. When dental radiographs are unavailable or of poor quality, the dentist may have to rely on other evidence such as study models, head and neck radiographs and anthropological examination results. The authors present a case report in which all of these modalities were used to identify Skeletal Remains. Case description The Skeletal Remains of a female adolescent found in a retention sewer were identified as those of a 14-year-old girl who had disappeared from her home one year earlier. The identification was based on anthropological findings, a comparison of antemortem and postmortem study models, and a comparison of antemortem and postmortem radiographs. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS; Dentists who are called on by local authorities to assist with the identification of Skeletal Remains must be familiar with ways in which dental comparisons can be made when periapical radiographs, bitewing radiographs or both are unavailable.
