In the Laurion region of southeastern Attica, Greece, the extraction of silver-rich lead ores has been practiced since prehistoric times. This area was heavily mined during the late Archaic and Classical periods significantly contributing to Athens wealth and sovereignty. Mining and metallurgical activities declined towards late antiquity but resumed in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century, continuing until the end of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Vestiges of these activities still dot the landscape posing potential environmental risks. Although the chemical effects of lead on the human skeleton are well-documented, the osteological imprint of lead contamination, especially in classical antiquity, remains unexplored. This paper examines lesions characteristic of lead poisoning found on the remains of a 2-year-old infant from Laurion dating to the Archaic/Early Classical period (6<sup>th</sup>5<sup>th</sup> century BCE). The study employs non-invasive techniques, including macroscopic analysis, digital microscopy, plain radiography, and micro-CT imaging, to assess the presentation, distribution, pathogenesis, and etiology of the lesions. Anatomical areas formed by endochondral ossification, including the metaphyses of the long bones, the sternal ends of mid-ribs, and the condyle(s) of the mandible, are affected by bone hypertrophy and the formation of lead lines or lead bands. Additionally, hyperplasia of the cranial vault is diagnostic of anemia, while lesions on the endocranial surface indicate encephalopathy, which is associated with high levels of lead exposure and is often fatal. The presence of lesions diagnostic of scurvy and those consistent with rickets further supports the co-occurrence of multiple metabolic diseases in the infant skeleton. The manifestation of these lesions can provide insights into the history of lead toxicity and its lasting effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":46714,"journal":{"name":"Homo-Journal of Comparative Human Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144033401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using dental profiling techniques, we can determine the age, sex, and population of the individual and gather data about their socio-economic status, personal habits, oral and systemic health, occupation, nutrition, family relationships, and psychological characteristics. <i>Aims:</i> The research aims to gain insights into the diet, health, socio-economic status, and demography of the Late Iron Age inhabitants of Illyrian origin who lived on the Croatian island of Korcula. This will be achieved by analyzing the remains of teeth and jaw bones found in the Kopila necropolis. <i>Material and methods:</i> The research sample comprised 479 permanent teeth and jawbone remains from three tombs that belong to the collection of the Vela Luka Culture Centre on the island of Korcula. The analysis of the teeth included an examination of their morphological and pathological characteristics as well as metric and non-metric variables. Additionally, the stable isotopes of carbon (<sup>14</sup>C, <sup>13</sup>C), nitrogen (<sup>15</sup>N), and strontium (<sup>86/87</sup>Sr) were chemically analyzed. Odontometry was used as a metric variable and the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) was used as a non-metric variable to determine sex. <i>Results:</i> The research findings indicate that healthy teeth are present with a frequency of dental caries of 5.85% and tooth wear of 85.18%. There is morphological atypicality in the number of roots of the upper premolars and taurodontism in the molars. Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen show values of d <sup>13</sup>C = -19.5 (±0.1) and d <sup>15</sup>N = 8.6 (±0.1). The ratio <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>15</sup>N is 3.4. The values of <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr in the dental enamel are 0.7084000.708433, whereas in bones they are 0.7081490.708471 (±1s 0.0000160.000034). <i>Conclusions:</i> The Illyrian community on the island of Korcula relied primarily on agriculture for their food, consuming only cereals, vegetables, and meat from domesticated animals. They did not extensively use marine resources. They were in good health generally. The individuals examined were native residents of the island and can be associated through their dental morphology with the Western Eurasian population group.

It reviews historical, demographical, statistical, medical, and bioarchaeological, primary and secondary data originating from archive material or previously published specific analyses into the topic (n = 55). An innovative intersectional and multidisciplinary approach was developed in order to apprehend, collect, organize, and analyze data stemming from several different disciplinary fields. Through this approach, this research endeavors to answer the following questions: 1) what are the social and environmental factors guiding the risk or not of suffering from RIAD, 2) do these factors appear to be constant on a territorial scale and through time, 3) can the evolution of RIAD occurrences be correlated to the local history of a particular region? And 4) does a better understanding of RIAD dynamics in the past allow us to draw any useful lessons for their future sustainable management? Accordingly, collected raw data were converted and normalized into crude mortality, natality, and RIAD mortality rates per thousand individuals and subsequently set within the demographic and epidemiological transition model. This model serves as a relevant reading grid for the understanding of the pathological and demographic evolutions that this study highlights. Indeed, this data compilation effort enabled to reconstruct crude birth and death rates for Switzerland from 1580 CE to the present day and to present the latter in graphical form. This graphical presentation is a breakthrough in the field of RIAD research in Switzerland and further enabled to assess internal data coherence and trend evolutions by means of joinpoint regression analysis. Main results include the confirmation of the considerable impact of industrialization on the respiratory health of peri-alpine populations. They also underline the selective and versatile nature of the pressure exerted by respiratory diseases on specific socio-economic and demographic classes, whose composition has varied through time. This research was impeded by the uneven quality of the available sources. Nonetheless, it still provides a robust outlook on the longue-durée evolution of respiratory health. The obtained results might thus be of interest to a wide array of scholars active in the study of respiratory diseases through time, but also clinicians and health policy makers, as this study highlights particular aspect of the current health situation, and the future worldwide challenges posed notably by global urbanization, with regard to respiratory health issues. Future research could develop similar approaches in neighboring regions, or focus on specific types of RIAD, in order to contrast other local pathological signatures with the one presented in this manuscript.","PeriodicalId":46714,"journal":{"name":"Homo-Journal of Comparative Human Biology","volume":" ","pages":"9-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 1996, evidence about the evolutionary context for the later Middle Pleistocene and its associated hominins in Africa had markedly changed.

One growing concern is the age-related bone density loss that increases the individual's risk for fractures, which unfortunately seems to disproportionately afflict women. These fractures are not only detrimental to the individuals' lives but also come with a great economic burden to the societies. Although age-related bone loss is a normal phenomenon, studies on archaeological individuals have demonstrated that the pattern how this occurs has experienced changes due to our changing lifestyles. Hence, to add to our understanding of secular trends in age-related bone loss, we studied age- and sex-related differences in vertebral and femoral bone densities of a recent past population of late 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> century Americans. We used a sample of 114 individuals (55 males, 59 females) from the Robert J. Terry Anatomical Skeletal Collection. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to scan the dry bones. We took one scan from the 4<sup>th</sup> lumbar vertebra and three scans from the femur. The associations between the age, sex and bone density were analyzed.
