Abstract
`Rid Grasse of Bones': a taphonomic study of the bones from midden deposits at the Neolithic and Bronze Age site of Runnymede, Surrey, England
Dale Serjeantson
73 - 89
The large quantity of animal bone evidence has been used to interpret the formation of the site deposits. The lack of articulated bones, the degree of fragmentation of the bones from different deposits, and the quantification of canid gnawing shows that the meat was cooked and consumed, and the bones discarded for the dogs. At a later stage, larger bones were picked up and thrown away in the river or midden. Some ethnographic examples of periodic cleaning of farming settlements are cited.
Metastatic carcinoma in a leper skeleton from a medieval cemetery in Chichester, England
Keith Ortner, Donald J, Manchester
Frances Lee
91 - 98
Reports the first discovery of a single skeleton which exhibits features indicative of both leprosy and metastatic cancer, although there is minimal overlap in the areas of the skeleton involved in the two pathological processes.
The prevalence of, and the relationship between some spinal diseases in a human skeletal population from London
Tony Waldron
103 - 110
The prevalence rates of the major diseases that affected the spine, their anatomical distribution and the relationship between them are described for the human skeletons excavated from the crypt of Christ Church, Spitalfields. As the age of death of many of the skeletons is known it was possible to show that, as suspected, the prevalence of many of the diseases increases with age.
How many bones make five? The art and science of guesstimation in archaeozoology
Nick Winder
111 - 126
Six faunal statistics are described and assessed by means of simulation. The `probable number of individuals' (PNI) method is shown to perform remarkably well. It is argued that palaeoeconomic methods occupy a middle ground between classical statistical theory and experimental archaeology. These `guesstimation' methods are explored and are shown to have considerable bearing on the interpretation of taphonomic and `spatial' (inter-stratum) regularities. Promising avenues for future research are indicated.
CD ROM imaging in osteoarchaeology
Charlotte A Roberts
Nigel Rudgewick-Brown
141 - 145
Describes what CD ROM is, how the disks are produced, the hardware required, costs involved, and the potential uses of CD ROM in osteoarchaeology.
Erosive osteoarthritis in a medieval skeleton
Juliet M Rogers
Iain Watt
Tony Waldron
151 - 153
Despite the common occurrence of osteoarthritis in human skeletons from archaeological sites, the first case of erosive osteoarthritis has only just been found in London in a female skeleton dating to between the late fourteenth and early sixteenth centuries AD.
