O subcampo da Bioarqueologia, que se dedica ao estudo dos remanescentes humanos antigos, pretende seguir um contexto multidisciplinar, integrando características biológicas, históricas e socioculturais, requerendo uma estreita colaboração entre arqueólogos e antropólogos, especialmente durante a escavação de necrópoles. A normalização dos dados é crucial para garantir a qualidade, a reprodutibilidade e comparab...
Os museus agregam funções fundamentais na gestão de coleções arqueológicas, incluindo a sua utilização na mediação com o público, o depósito, a conservação e a investigação. São frequentemente procurados por investigadores para estudo de coleções à sua guarda, por vezes com técnicas de análise destrutivas. Embora estes estudos proporcionem dados fundamentais para a compreensão das populações passadas, resultam ...

Objective: This study aims to describe various types of skeletal lesions and lesion patterns observed in five potential cases of treponematosis from the same archaeological site. Material and methods: The study examines five adult skeletons recovered from Santa Maria do Olival, Tomar, Portugal. Macroscopic observations were conducted on all remains, supplemented by relevant radiographic investigations. Results:...
This study aims to compare diet and skeletal health indicators between individuals with varying degrees of physical impairment and the general adult population from medieval Estremoz, Portugal, to assess their health status and their survival outcomes. Skeletal remains from 41 male adult individuals, including 8 with physical impairments and 33 from the general population, were analyzed. The impairment of these...

Ellagic acid (EA) is a plant polyphenol with strong antioxidant properties. The stabilizing effect of EA on the thermo-oxidative degradation of the commercial thermoplastic poly(ester-ether urethane) (TPU) was studied for the first time and compared with effect of kraft lignin (KL), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and pentaerythritol tetrakis (Irganox 1010). TPUs doped with antioxidants (ca. 20,000 ppm), were an...

The importance of reference osteological collections is unquestionable. However, the development of methodologies is more reliable the closer the collection is socioeconomically, demographically, and genetically to the population under study. The purpose of this study is to characterize and contextualize a new Portuguese reference collection. The collection of identified skeletons from the University of Évora c...
