    Area of Science:

    • Paleopathology
    • Forensic Anthropology
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Analysis of skeletal remains from Winterthur (1980) and Nanikon-Buhl, Switzerland (1992-1994).
    • Focus on pathological bone changes discovered in archaeological contexts.

    Purpose:

    • To diagnose and differentially diagnose bone pathologies using integrated microscopic and radiological methods.
    • To compare diagnostic approaches using both historical and contemporary scientific literature.

    Summary:

    • Four cases of skeletal remains were examined for pathological bone alterations.
    • Case 1 involved shoulder examination with recent literature, revealing soft tissue disease. Cases 3 and 4 utilized older literature for fracture analysis.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into ancient bone diseases and diagnostic methodologies.
    • Highlights the importance of integrating diverse literature for accurate paleopathological diagnosis.
