The Dental Health Status Of Pre-Columbian Peruvians: A Study Of Dental Caries, Missing Teeth, Attrition, Osteitis, Calculus, And Bone Loss, Danny R. Sawyer, Marvin J. Allison, Richard P. Elzay, Alejandro Pezzia

Prior to the recent reports of Sawyer et al and Elzay et al on the characteristics and dental health status of ancient Peruvian cultures, only Stewart, Leigh, and Goaz and Miller had reported on the dental morphology and pathology of the pre-Columbian Peruvian Indians. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dental health of these ancient peoples to further our understanding of the development of dental diseases. This paper follows up and expands the report of Elzay et al to include another culture and completely new specimens, with a look at primary dentitions not previously available for study.

Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar
Patterns Of Prehistoric Epidemiology And Human Paleopathology, Mahmoud Y. El-Najjar
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human paleopathologists are interested in the visible marks of diagnosable disease that reflect various aspects of human biocultural interaction. Whether infectious, nutritional, or a combination of both, pathological characteristics in the dry bone provide some insight into the health of past human populations. Paleoepidemiology and human paleopathology are important parts of ecology in that they deal directly with a major aspect of man's relationship to his environment. The significance of this relationship has, to a large extent, been neglected by human skeletal biologists. The purpose of this study is to examine one of the most important aspects of human biocultural …

Yawslike Disease Porcesses In A Louisiana Shell Mound Population, Louise M. Robbins
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Human skeletal remains have been recovered from prehistoric and early historic sites in Louisiana with some degree of regularity for the past 75 years and on an irregular basis for the last 300 years. During his explorations of aboriginal sites throughout the Lower Mississippi River Valley, Moore made a special effort to collect skeletal specimens for shipment to the US National Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. A less well-known fact is that he also collected pathological specimens for shipment to the Army Medical Museum at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC. An unfortunate aspect of the Moore recovery technique, however, …

Paleoepidemiology Of Degerative Joint Disease, Robert D. Jurmain
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
In order to contribute significantly to the description and understanding of human disease, paleoepidemiology must first recognize requirements which epidemiologists have long considered essential: 1) that the populations sampled are relevant to a set of specific hypotheses concerning a particular set of diseases: 2) that an adequate sample is employed to accurately represent the whole population: and 3) that wherever possible, sex and age parameters are accurately controlled. Given a specific set of hypotheses worthy of being tested, paleoepidemiology can be used not only to describe the distribution of significant human diseases, but also to help untangle and explain their …

Varying techniques of measurement coupled with lack of sufficient data have presented great difficulties in the comparison of dental arch dimensions obtained by different workers. Several authors have attempted to delineate the arches. Lavelle et al measured the dental arches of adults from several different ethnic groups and found little difference between the modern British Caucasian, Australian aborigines, and North American Indians. They did, however, see considerable differences between these modern populations and a group of Anglo-Saxons and a group of West Africans.
Introduction
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
The winter issue of the MCV Quarterly presents a departure from our usual symposium proceeding. We offer, instead, five full-length articles and two case reports that range from respiratory failure and the dental health of pre-Columbian Peruvians to a report of a rare clinical entity, an intrapulmonary lymph node presenting as a ‘coin’ lesion. We hope that our readers will find these papers interesting and informative.

The major focus of paleopathology has been the delimiting of disease in time and space. Information about the history of specific diseases is the objective of many of these studies. While the chronological and geographical dimensions of paleopathology contribute significantly to our knowledge of disease, there are limits to this approach, which often fails to consider the interaction of biology and culture in the disease of prehistoric populations.
