Abstract
Endocranial lesions in non-adult skeletons: understanding their aetiology
Mary E Lewis
82 - 97
Reactive new bone on the endocranial surface of the skull in non-adults appear as layers of new bone on the original cortical surface, expanding around meningeal vessels, as isolated plaques, hair-on-end extensions of the diploë or as capillary impressions extending into the inner lamina of the cranium. These lesions are commonly found on the occipital bone, outlining the cruciate eminence, but have also been recorded on the parietal and frontal bones, and appear to follow the areas of venous drainage. Although recognized as resulting from haemorrhage or inflammation, their precise aetiology is still a matter of controversy. The paper outlines their possible causes and examines their nature and distribution in a group of non-adults from four archaeological sites in England. It is recommended that, when recording these lesions in the future, additional skeletal pathologies, the age of the child, and nature and distribution of the lesions also be taken into account.
A comparative experiment in the consolidation of cremated bone

Report on an experiment to assess whether consolidation of cremated remains facilitated cross-sectioning and grinding, which often are required for microstructural analyses such as the histomorphometric estimation of age and the examination of pathological lesions. Green, bovine femoral diaphyses were cremated at three temperature ranges (346--357°C; 610--755°C; 684--838°C) in an electric furnace and then consolidated with Acryloid B-72 or Butvar B-98 using simple brushing and immersion techniques. After consolidation was complete, bone pieces were cross-sectioned and ground to a thickness of 100--120 \\mum. Results indicate that specimens treated with Acryloid B-72 are harder and stronger than Butvar treated and untreated control specimens. Acryloid B-72 is, therefore, recommended for the consolidation of cremated remains in preparation for microstructural analysis.
