1 SITE CODE COSE84 Palaeopathology PBR _____________________________________________________________________ Osteologist: R.N.R. Mikulski Date: 02/06/2005 1503 _____________________________________________________________________ Context Summary: COSE84 1503 represents an adult individual of possible male sex with a probable age-at-death of between 25 and 35. Some kind of lytic process is evident affecting the internal aspect of the basisphenoid and there is a small osteoma to the ectocranial surface above lambda. There is also suggestion of some kind of infection to the right eye. Cranial: There is very slight new bone apparent to the endocranial aspect of the frontal, with focussed areas of labyrinthine vessel impressions. The right orbital roof exhibits an open lesion (c.5mm) to its lateral anterior aspect. The lesion appears to have sharp but raised margins suggesting inflammation; interior of lesion appears to exhibit 'fluffy' reactive bone. Despite the sharp edges to the lesion, there appears to be at least some sort of reactive process occurring, suggesting the possibility of infection. There is marked porosity with larger pitting also present to the supraorbital region. The large, slightly irregular right supraorbital foramen may in fact be part of this larger pitting. In addition, there is also noticeable pitting concentrated along either side of both coronal sutures; with the adjoining borders of the parietals and frontal appearing slightly lifted (this is particularly evident in the right side. There is severe lipping and/or erosion to the posterior aspect of the sella turcica of the basisphenoid. This appears to be the result of some sort of lytic process. It’s possible this might be due to some kind of infection; alternatively it may represent a tumour, such as an osteolytic meningioma. The ectocranial surface exhibits a small rounded osteoma (c.5mm) in the region of obelion at midline, just superior to extant parietal foramen. There is unusual bilateral morphology to the mastoid processes, with very deep mastoid grooves giving the appearance almost of ‘split’ mastoid processes; possibly developmental defects. There is also some slight sutural variation to the right frontozygomatic region of the frontal bone. Maxilla: The individual exhibits ante-mortem loss of several teeth, all maxillary and most being molars. There is also some porosity & possible new bone to right maxillary alveolar in region superior to position of M3.

Mikulski Date: 02/06/2005 1503 _____________________________________________________________________ Context Postcranial: Left Humerus: There is a deep, almost lytic-looking muscle insertion to the anterior medial aspect of the left proximal humerus. Vertebrae: There is strange morphology to the margins of some vertebral facets, in particular the superior facets of the atlas (C1), which exhibit marked ‘scooping’ to the margins of the articular surfaces.
