Abstract
Tortuosity or aneurysm?; The palaeopathology of some abnormalities of the v...
Tony Waldron
Daniel Antoine
79 - 88
The anatomy of the vertebral artery (VA) and two pathological conditions - tortuosity and aneurysm - which affect it are described. The changes which these lesions produce in the cervical vertebrae are also described and the authors present two cases in which these changes have been found. One case is of a female aged at least forty-five years at the time of death from a fifteenth-century medieval site in Britain with what would be considered to be tortuosity of the VA. The second case is of a male aged between twenty-five and thirty-five years at the time of death from a Coffin period site in Japan, dating to c. 1600 years BP. The changes in this skeleton are considered to be more in keeping with a diagnosis of aneurysm of the VA.
Occipital perforations in a Late Neolithic probable aurochs (Bos primigenius Bojanus) cranium from Letchworth, Hertfordshire, UK
Ian L Baxter
142 - 143
An example of ante-mortem occipital perforations in the cranium of a probable aurochs cow from a Late Neolithic archaeological site is presented. This is the second reported occurrence thus far of cranial perforations in a wild bovid and lends support to a congenital cause of the condition in archaeological domestic cattle skulls.
Metaphyseal fibrous defects in juveniles from medieval Norwich
T Anderson
144 - 148
Two juvenile skeletons excavated from medieval Norwich each have a well-defined cystic cavitation. One involves the distal femur and the other the proximal tibia. The dry bone and radiographic appearance, as well as the location and age of the individuals, support the diagnosis of metaphyseal cortical defects. Although well-known in clinical practice, especially in children, this appears to be the first published evidence for the condition in British archaeological material. No other anomalies were detected on the two skeletons. However, the occurrence of two cases in the same cemetery raises the possibility of a genetic influence in the condition.
A double cremation from Kent
T Anderson
Keith Parfitt
152 - 153
Note on a cremation group of three vessels dated BC 50--70 AD, containing two separate urned deposits of cremated human bone. The occurrence of double or multiple cremations in pre-Anglo-Saxon contexts is discussed.
