A survey of contemporary burials in Pueblo I (AD 700–900) villages reveals that house burials from this period are not common, but neither are they unique or uniform. Tracking thirty years of interpretation of this burial points to the importance of fine-grained contextual taphonomy, and suggests that we expand the scope of what is considered to be normative burial and body position. The changing archaeological interpretation of this Mesa Verde Region burial highlights the place of mortuary treatment in the evolving narrative of the political and social history of large early villages.

Grauer, Loyola University, Chicago"The populational approach to bioarchaeology tends to be monochrome in its efforts to answer broader research-oriented questions. This volume splashes the past with color through a select group of individuals who actually experienced it."--Margaret A. Judd, University of PittsburghFrom Bronze Age Thailand to Viking Iceland, from an Egyptian oasis to a family farm in Canada, "The Bioarchaeology of Individuals" invites readers to unearth the daily lives of people throughout history. Covering a span of more than four thousand years of human history and focusing on individuals who lived between 3200 BC and the nineteenth century, the essays in this book examine the lives of nomads, warriors, artisans, farmers, and healers. The contributors employ a wide range of tools, including traditional macroscopic skeletal analysis, bone chemistry, ancient DNA, grave contexts, and local legends, sagas, and other historical information. The collection as a whole presents a series of osteobiographies--profiles of the lives of specific individuals whose remains were excavated from archaeological sites. The result offers a more "personal" approach to mortuary archaeology; this is a book about people--not just bones."

(2020). Advancing the understanding of treponema disease in the past and present. Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, 171(S70), 5-41. Syphilis was perceived to be a new disease in Europe in the late 15th century, ignit- ing a debate about its origin that continues today in anthropological, historical, and medical circles. We move beyond this age-old debate using an interdisciplinary approach that tackles broader questions to advance the understanding of treponemal infection (syphilis, yaws, bejel, and pinta). How did the causative organism(s) and humans co-evolve? How did the related diseases caused by Treponema pallidum emerge in different parts of the world and affect people across both time and space? How are T. pallidum subspecies related to the treponeme causing pinta? The current state of scholarship in spe...

(OSSs)—occipital torus tubercles (TOTs), retromastoid processes
(PRs), and posterior supramastoid tubercles (TSPs)—is virtually
restricted to Oceania, with epicenters in the Mariana Islands, Tonga,
Mocha Island, and perhaps other Oceanic locales such as the West
Sepik Coast of New Guinea. Enigmatic in etiology, OSSs are anatomically
related to entheses for the trapezius, superior oblique (suboccipital),
and sternocleidomastoid muscles, respectively. Our study
focuses on Latte Period (950–250 BP) Chamorro ancestors of the
Mariana Islands, contextualized with other skeletal samples from
Remote Oceania, Near Oceania, and the Asian and American
Pacific Rims. Frequent co-variation and pair-wise patterning of multiple
markedly expressed OSSs distinguishes ancestral Chamorros
from all other populations, but markedly expressed individual OSSs
exhibit a broad network of pan-Pacific morphological affinities. The
presence of markedly developed PRs and TSPs in archaic Javanese
hominins indicates deep Southeast Asian origins for these morphs,
but a Northeast Asian origin for tuberculated TOTs is suggested by
their earliest presence in Late Pleistocene Okinawans and Neolithic
Taiwanese. The central goal of this paper is to present and evaluate
evidence that OSSs are informative of both Pacific population history
and the life histories of “bone-forming” Pacific Islander and
Pacific Rim individuals.

Abstract
The fragmentary remains of a female aged 45 to 50 years were recovered from floor fill in the ventilator shaft of a Pueblo I pit house at Sacred Ridge (5LP245). Taphonomic evidence indicates facial destruction, scalping, decapitation, dismemberment, and perhaps hand or foot removal. Human hemoglobin and myoglobin residue on associated artifacts suggest that processing took place in this structure. This study addresses the significance of this feature in regard to the remains of 33 other processed individuals in another pit structure at Sacred Ridge, and the implications of these features for interpretations of Pueblo I pit structure burials.
