Cranial surgical approaches in the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection

In Forensic Anthropology, identification is comparing information from a person whose fate and whereabouts are unknown with data from a person who is present but whose identity is unknown. The rarer and more distinctive the characteristics observed during the anthropological investigation, the greater the probability of reaching an identification. Taking this into account, cranial surgeries can be considered go...

All that glitters is not gold: X-ray fluorescence analysis of a fixed dental pr...

Access to better health care anticipates that more medical devices can be found alongside skeletal remains. Those employed in oral rehabilitation, with available brands or batch/series, can prove useful in the identification process. A previous study in the Colecção de Esqueletos Identificados Século XXI described macroscopically the dental prostheses. An unusual case of a dental device with chromatic alteratio...

The modern Dental Cast Reference Collection from the University of Coimbra, Por...

Introduction Identified skeletal and skull collections are centrepiece for research in biological anthropology. However, until recently, the same relevance has not been placed on dental cast collections. This perspective evolved, mainly, with the research on population variation and human identification through dental characteristics. While dental collections exist throughout the world, their reports and docume...

Sample-specific odontometric sex estimation: a method with potential applicatio...

Metric features are often the only preserved sexually dimorphic features to allow sex estimation in burned human remains, but this is complicated by heat-induced dimensional changes. The potential of odontometry for sex estimation was investigated. A sample of permanent lower second pre-molars from 20 males and 20 females was experimentally burned at 900 °C to assess heat-induced changes in the sexual dimorphis...

Dead weight: validation of mass regression equations on experimentally burned s...

In very fragmentary remains, the thorough inventory of skeletal elements is often impossible to accomplish. Mass has been used instead to assess the completeness of the skeleton. Two different mass-based methods of assessing skeleton completeness were tested on a sample of experimentally burned skeletons with the objective of determining which of them is more reliable. The first method was based on a simple com...

Tons de fogo: estudo experimental sobre alterações térmico-induzidas em dentes ...

Os bioantropólogos são frequentemente solicitados para analisar vestígios humanos queimados, recuperados tanto de contextos arqueológicos como forenses. Os dentes estão entre as peças esqueléticas que melhor resistem à fragmentação e podem, por isso, ser vitais para a compreensão do contexto e das condições da queima. O objetivo deste trabalho é documentar as alterações térmico-induzidas em dentes humanos exper...

One for all and all for one: Linear regression from the mass of individual bone...

ObjectivesComplete and accurate human skeletal inventory is seldom possible in archaeological and forensic cases involving severe fragmentation. In such cases, skeletal mass comparisons with published references may be used as an alternative to assess skeletal completeness but they are too general for a case-by-case routine analysis. The objective is to solve this issue by creating linear regression equations t...
