The analysis of such skeletal material presents significant challenges associated with the alterations caused by the process of burning. A salient issue in studying cremated remains pertains to the challenge of distinguishing human remains from those of other animals, particularly on small fragments. The objective of this study was to assess the confidence of different operators on species identification (human/nonhuman) in cremated remains using macroscopic observation. To this purpose, 50 unidentified cremated bone fragments dating from the first to third century <span>ce</span> Italy were analyzed by three different observers. In more than 40% of the cases, observers were not able to suggest an identification (human or nonhuman), even as a cautious possibility. These results underline the uncertainty inherent in this type of identification, regardless of the background or the experience of the assessor. Therefore, in this scenario, macroscopic observation alone is insufficient. Indeed, in the field of archaeology, species identification often has to be made based upon the context in which the material was found. Based upon this research, we stress the huge risks in species evaluation on burned and fragmented bones by quantifying the error, and we aim to raise awareness that a more thorough methodology may be required for cases of extremely fragmented cremations.</p>","PeriodicalId":14179,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Osteoarchaeology","volume":"36 2","pages":"341-349"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/oa.70089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147682896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to interpret her condition by combining osteopathological and burial context evidence with written sources. It offers a concise example of how bringing these sources together can enhance pathological interpretation and support the reconstruction of soft tissue disease, disability, and the lived experience of disease in past populations. This older woman was exhumed from the Convent of Jesus in Setúbal, Portugal. Her atypical burial position, also noted in the convent chronicles, indicates the remains likely belong to Michaela Archangela do Ceo. Osteopathological analysis revealed several changes, including atheromas, while the burial showed a crouched position, presumably related to stroke sequelae. The chronicles describe lifelong frailty and disease, followed in later life by a stroke with right-sided hemiplegia, pressure ulcers, and myiasis. Apart from the atheromas, which may be associated with the stroke, the skeletal changes show no correspondence with the signs reported in the account. The chronicles further document the attentive care she received, reflecting communal support within the convent, and the religious meaning of suffering. In conclusion, this case demonstrates the value of integrating multiple sources to interpret pathological conditions and the lived experience of disease, while emphasizing the relevance of soft tissue disease that leaves no skeletal trace. It also illustrates the careful application of retrospective diagnosis as an interpretive tool for historical documentation. Altogether, it highlights key methodological considerations for interpreting disease in osteoarchaeological contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":14179,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Osteoarchaeology","volume":"36 2","pages":"371-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/oa.70093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CT features and interruption of the cranial sutures strongly differ from the alterations described in cases affected with the so-called sincipital T lesion.

An apparent healing process of these marks has led to more or less complete obliteration, especially in one of the skulls. Although differential diagnosis may include some infectious diseases and trauma, the findings suggest that the Guanches also performed scalping.

Our knowledge of the past fisheries of this clupeid nevertheless remains limited due to a scarcity of ichthyoarchaeological data, which reflects, among other things, a lack of systematic fine sieving in archaeological excavations until recent times. Specifically, although predictive equations to infer fish size from archaeological remains provide valuable information about past fisheries, published data for the European pilchard are still comparatively rare. This study presents 33 new equations based on selected cranial elements to estimate total length that considerably expand the number thus far available for the European pilchard. Also, given that the number and size ranges of specimens used to build these models are greater than those from previous studies, our equations provide a higher degree of accuracy, offering more reliable tools for reconstructing the size from archaeological sardine bones. These equations, along with previously published ones, were tested on European pilchard collections from medieval and Modern Age Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). Although some of the previously published equations provide acceptable overviews of size distributions, the new equations allow for a more precise reconstruction of captures, underscoring their potential to improve our understanding of the historical European pilchard fisheries.
