The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS) began accepting whole-body
donations for scientific research and educational purposes under the Texas Anatomical Gift …

The volume of human carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope data produced in
archaeological research has increased markedly in recent years. However, knowledge of …

The histological, or microscopic, appearance of bone tissue has long been studied to
identify species-specific traits. There are several known histological characteristics to …

There is a need to fully understand intra‐skeletal variability within different populations to
develop and improve age‐at‐death estimation methods. This study evaluates age‐related …

The opioid epidemic began in the 1970s with heroin, a semisynthetic illicit opioid, that
caused an alarming number of overdose deaths, particularly among African American …

Palaeohistologists who work with well-preserved hominin cortical bone can examine two-
dimensional (2D) histology images for quantitative parameters of secondary osteons and …

This chapter examines the utility of bone microstructure to estimate age-at-death from
human skeletal remains. It focuses primarily on the myriad ways in which intracortical …

This chapter discusses human and non-human bone microstructure, using evolutionary
history and skeletal biology to explain similarities/differences across species and their value …

The structure and morphology of bone are controlled by intrinsic factors at the molecular,
cellular, tissue, and organ levels. Bone remodeling is the process of bone maintenance and …

Most skeletal age estimation techniques are based on assessing wear on joints or bone
involution. Bone involution refers to microscopic bone loss. Pryce (2012) proposed a five …
