In 2015, several disarticulated human skeletal remains were identified in the top layers of the prehistoric site of Buraca da Moira Rock Shelter (Boa Vista, Leiria), during the archaeological excavation carried out under the scope of the EcoPLis — Human Occupations in the Pleistocene Ecotones of the River Lis project. The recovery of chert, constiquartz and quartzite blanks, a schist plate, as well as adornments in bone and shell indicates a Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic chronology. The disarticulated human assemblage, composed of a total of 129 bone and tooth fragments, allowed the estimation of a minimum number of six individuals. Among the remains recovered, an upper portion of an adult right ulna lacking the coronoid process was identified. Replacing it, a semi-oval groovewith smooth contours and exposing some trabecular bone was observed. The location, type of bone change, and the observed signs of bone healing are consistent with an uncommon trauma: a fracture of the coronoid process. In the differential diagnosis, both postmortem changes and developmental disturbances were considered but later excluded. The mechanisms that underlie the bone changes are discussed in light of the clinical and paleopathological literature.

Em Março de 2012, durante os trabalhos no Bloco de Rega de Selmes (Sítio Monte do Malheiro 2, Vidigueira, Beja) foram descobertos dois hipogeus. Estes, distanciados entre si cerca de 5m, datam do Neolítico final. O espólio ósseo humano recuperado encontrava-se muito incompleto e com um elevado grau de fragmentação. O objectivo deste trabalho é documentar as práticas funerárias nestes dois sepulcros pré-históricos e obter algumas inferências antropológicas dos indivíduos depositados nestes túmulos.Do Hipogeu 1, foram recuperados três adultos em articulação e dois não adultos em contexto desarticulado. Um aspecto peculiar é a ausência total de restos ósseos cranianos neste Hipogeu permitindo sugerir manipulação óssea. O espólio arqueológico recuperado inclui lâminas em sílex, enxós e machados. No antebraço do enterramento 2 foi ainda recuperada uma pulseira de Glycymeris glycymeris, e entre as falanges das mãos do enterramento 1, 5 falanges de Ovis/Capra. Todos os achados, ósseos e arqueológicos encontravam-se tingidos por um pigmento avermelhado.No Hipogeu 2 foram identificados um indivíduo adulto em conexão anatómica e mais um adulto e dois não adultos em contexto desarticulado. Não foi recuperado qualquer espólio arqueológico deste Hipogeu que apresentava ainda indícios de perturbações antigas. Funerary practices and anthropological analysis of the human remains exhumed from the late Neolithic/Chalcolithic hypogea 1 and 2 of Monte Malheiro 2 (Selmes, Vidigueira, Beja, Portugal) - During the archaeological intervention at the “Blocos de Rega de Selmes” (Vidigueira, Beja -Portugal) in “Sítio Monte do Malheiro 2,” two hypogea were discovered. Both revealed human osteological remains dated to the Late Neolithic. The human skeletal remains from both hypogea were very incomplete and display a high level of fragmentation. The aim of the present paper is to document the funerary practices and obtain some anthropological inferences about the human remains unearthed from these two Hypogea.From Hypogeum 1, five individuals were exhumed, three adults (in situ) and two non-adults disarticulated. One peculiar aspect in this Hypogeum is the total absence of cranial bones, which suggest the practice of bone manipulation.Grave goods from this tomb include axes, polished stone adzes and flint blades. In the forearm of skeleton 2, a bracelet of Glycymeris glycymeris was recovered and among the human phalanges of individual 1, 5 phalanges of Ovis/Capra.From Hypogeum 2 it was possible to recovered one skeleton in anatomical connection, and a group of disarticulated bones corresponding to a minimum number of three individuals (one adult and two non-adults). No grave goods were recovered. Signs of old perturbations were registered.

Pembahasan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah uraian osteoarkeologis terkait temuan rangka manusia situs prasejarah Leang Kado‘ 4 di kawasan karst Simbang, Maros, Sulawesi Selatan. Sebagai bagian dari kajian bioarkeologi, uraian ini meliputi penentuan jenis kelamin, usia kematian, rata-rata tinggi badan, afinitas ras, dan jumlah individu minimal yang ada di Situs Leang Kado‘ 4 sebagai bagian aktivitas penguburan. Metode penelitian menerapkan langkah kerja analisis dalam kajian bioarkeologi yang juga diterapkan dalam disiplin antropologi ragawi. Langkah kerja analisis tersebut, meliputi: identifikasi, pengukuran, komparasi, dan penghitungan estimasi jumlah individu minimal dalam sebuah himpunan data.  Penelitian ini berkesimpulan bahwa sisa rangka manusia di situs Leang Kado‘ 4 memiliki kesamaan dengan dua jenis ras manusia, yaitu ras populasi Sahul-Pacific dikenal pula sebagai Australo-Papuan atau Australomelanesoid dan ras populasi Asia atau Mongoloid. Hadirnya data ini diharapkan menjadi salah satu bahan pertimbangan rekomendasi kebijakan berwawasan pembangunan karakter budaya bangsa yang mengedepankan kebhinekaan asal usul dengan data temuan rangka manusia.    This research aims to provide an osteoarchaeological analysis of the human skeletons found at the prehistoric site of Leang Kado‘ 4 in Simbang karst area, Maros, South Sulawesi. As a part of bioarchaeological studies, the analysis included the determination of sex, age at death, average height, racial affinity, and the minimum number of individuals at the site as part of the burial activities. The research employed the analytical process that is commonly carried out in bioarchaeological and physical anthropological studies. The analytical process consists of identification, measurement, comparison, and estimation of the minimum number of individuals in a data set.  It is concluded that the human skeletal remains at Leang Kado‘ 4 site share several similarities with two human races, i.e. Sahul-Pacific race also known as Australo-Papuan or Australomelanesoid and Asian or Mongoloid race. It is expected that all this data can be used as a base for developing policies oriented to the development of the national character and culture by emphisizing the diversity of the people’s origins, which is supported by data on human skeletal remains.

AbstractBeginning with Building 4, each new version of the Moon Pyramid in Teotihuacan was initiated with a major sacrificial event. These events invariably included human victims, males ranging in age from about 14 to 60 or more years (Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) = 37). Many display cranial modification and dental decoration. In the earliest offering, Burial 2, the lone human was merely one element in a complex tableau. In subsequent sacrifices, the human victims increased in number and became a major focus of the event. There was also a growing dichotomy among them, with numbers of decapitated victims being included in the sacrifices. Skeletal elements from the pyramid fill suggest still other rituals involving human crania (MNI = 11), but the context of these is not yet clear.

AbstractIn the Valencia region of Spain, the dominant use of natural caves for collective burials during the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods has been documented. Collective burials are central to the hypothesis about social relationships in Copper Age societies from Iberia, and key to interpreting kinship-based societies. Les Llometes (Alcoi, Alicante) is one of the biggest collective burial sites existing in eastern Iberia. This article presents the direct14C dates on 25 skeletal remains at the site. The results indicate that the site was used as a burial place from the end of the 5th millennium cal BC until the end of the 4th millennium cal BC, and is a first milestone for future studies that will shed light on the transition towards social structure through the use of a cemetery space. Moreover, this research is one of the few investigations of Late Neolithic collective burials in Iberia that comprises an extensive accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS)14C data set of almost all the individuals reported at a single site. This case also serves to highlight the utility of revisiting materials from historic excavations by14C dating all the skeletal remains that define the minimum number of individuals, and therefore ensuring a more complete picture of the prehistoric human record.
