A partir de um projeto de pesquisa que objetivou averiguar o comportamento de marcadores osteológicos em remanescentes humanos na perspectiva da longa duração no litoral sul de Santa Catarina, foram obtidos interessantesresultados para o sítio conchífero Içara-01. Foram analisados os marcadores de estresse osteológicos de Hiperostose Porótica (HP), Cribra orbitalia (CO) e Hipoplasia Linear de Esmalte (HLE) em 35 indivíduos de Içara-01 e seusresultados foram comparados com os adquiridos para indivíduos sepultados em períodos concomitantes dos sambaquis Cabeçuda e Jabuticabeira II. As autoras levantam a hipótese de que os indivíduos sepultados em Içara poderiam ser de um grupo litorâneo que utilizou o sítio como cemitério e que teria mobilidade na costa e no planalto, e não provenientes do planalto e que utilizariam Içara comoacampamento temporário, como postula a literatura. Abstract: As part of a research project that aimed to investigate the osteological markers behavior in human remains from a long-term perspective on the south coast ofSanta Catarina (Brazil), interesting results were obtained from the Içara´s conchiferous site (Içara-01). The authors analyzed osteological stress markers of Porotic Hyperostosis (HP), Cribra orbitalia (CO) and Linear Enamel Hypoplasia(LEH) in 35 individuals from Içara-01. They compared the results with those obtained for individuals buried in concomitant periods at Cabeçuda and Jabuticabeira II shellmounds. The hypothesis is that the buried individualsin Içara-01 could be members from a coastal group that used the site as a cemetery and had mobility through the coast and the highland, and not that came from the highland and used Içara-01 as a temporary camp, as the literature postulates.

This article reviews the most relevant data regarding evidence of stress and disease in native populations from Southern Patagonia and proposes future directions for paleopathological research. It focuses on the disease patterns in hunter-gatherer societies and the changes produced by contact and colonization. Studies of oral pathologies show a high frequency of dental attrition and low frequency of caries and antemortem tooth loss. Individuals with terrestrial dietary patterns show evidence of higher mechanical stress in the spine than those who participated in marine economies, based on the prevalence of Schmorl's nodes and vertebral osteophytosis. Porotic hyperostosis is more prevalent in individuals who had a marine diet and is probably related to nutritional impairment and parasitic infections. A higher frequency of metabolic stress was identified in individuals who lived in missions, perhaps because of declining quality in diet, hygiene, and living conditions. Paleoparasitological studies identified several species of parasites associated with human skeletons and terrestrial fauna. Moreover, recent studies suggested that treponematosis and tuberculosis were present in Patagonia since at least 1000 years BP. Future paleopathological research should increase the size and quality of studied samples and apply new methods and interpretive criteria. Detailed research into infections, degenerative joint diseases, and trauma (including violence episodes) has rarely been conducted.

During the sixteenth–eighteenth excavation seasons, cemetery WBN C260 at the archaeological site of Wad Ben Naga (Sudan) yielded the remains of fourteen individuals, both adult and non-adult. The burials, tentatively dated as post-Meroitic/Christian, were oriented to the north or north-west, with scarce grave goods, simple substructures, and no identified superstructures. Anthropological analysis revealed non-specific signs of stress including porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia, linear enamel hypoplasia, and endocranial lesions known as serpens endocrania symmetrica.

Bu çalışmada, Kalecik toplumunun erişkin bireylerinin iskeletlerinde görülen hastalıklar incelenmiştir. Kalecik toplumunda en sık rastlanılan hastalık eklemlerde görülen dejenarasyonlardır. Toplulukta görülen diğer rahatsızlıklar cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, periostitis, osteomyelit, calcaneus spur (topuk dikeni) ve travmalardır. Kalecik topluluğunun iskeletlerinde rastlanılmış lezyonların cinsiyetler arasında değerlendirildiğinde kadın ve erkek bireylerde lezyonların görülme sıklıklarında benzer oran tespit edilmiştir. Ancak travma kökenli lezyonlar sadece kadın bireylerde görülmüştür. Kalecik topluluğun erişkin bireylerinde görülen lezyonlar genel olarak çevresel faktörlerin etkin olduğu patolojik lezyonlar olduğu görülmüştür.
