"Human Skeletal Remains," by Cynthia S. Bradley
| Table 7. Skeletal Evidence of Relatedness in Discrete Burials, Woods Canyon Pueblo | ||
| HRO No. | Cranial Deformation | Congenital Traits |
| 1 | present: lambdoidal | early, premature fusion of an epiphysis to a proximal hand phalanx |
| 2 | undetermined | bilateral sacral hiatus of Segments 4 and 5 |
| 3 | present: lambdoidal | medial rotation of
second maxillary premolar fusion anomalies: remnant fusion line between lateral and medial condyles, distal tibias; remant fusion line, right distal ulna; premature fusion of sagittal suture and lamboidal sutures |
| 4 | undetermined | none |
| 5 | present: lambdoidal | fifth lumbar vertebra is slightly sacralized, more robust than normal; sacral vertebra 3, 4, or 5 did not develop, possible symmetrical sacral hiatus of S-3 and S-4 (by position, not anatomic number), unless S-3 and S-4 are actually S-4 and S-5; mesio-buccal rotation of mandible canines in uncrowded arch |
| 6 | undetermined | none |
| 7 | undetermined | none |
| 8 | undetermined | distolingual rotation
of lateral incisors incompletely fused mandibular symphysis |
| 9 | undetermined | premature, almost complete fusion of first metatarsal epiphysis |
| 10 | undetermined | none |
| 11 | undetermined | early-stage fusion of left capitulum with obvious line on left humerus diaphysis (could be response to possible infection, primary periostitis) |
|
NOTE:
"Undetermined" means that insufficient data were available, either because
excavation was incomplete or because of the limitations imposed by in
situ analysis.
HRO = Human Remains Occurrence; S = sacral vertebra. |
