[Diagnostic references in osteo-archeology. The contribution of historical medical data]

Some examples of anatomo-radio-clinical (or medico-historical) collation, studied in the Dupuytren Museum of Paris, among osteoplastic conditions, including hyperostosis frontalis interna, fibrous dysplasia of bone, osteochondromas, angioma of bone and osteosarcomas, demonstrate how that triad allows to constitute more secure guidelines for the archaeologist who have not clinical data at his disposal. So, they encourage to support the defence and maintenance actions of such anatomico-pathological museums.
