Much of paleodemography, an interdisciplinary field with strong ties to archaeology, among
other disciplines, is oriented toward clarifying the life experiences of past people and why …

Transition Analysis—a recent skeletal age‐estimation procedure (Boldsen et al.:
Paleodemography: age distributions from skeletal samples (2002) 73–106)—is evaluated …

Introduction Progress in cranial suture research is shaping our current understanding of the
topic; however, emphasis has been placed on individual contributing components rather …

The purpose of this study is to test predicted form–function relationships between cranial
suture complexity and masticatory muscle mass and biomechanics in a mouse model …

Androgenic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss, is a chronic progressive condition that
affects 80% of men and 50% of women throughout a lifetime. But despite its prevalence and …

Skull sutures serve as growth centers whose function involves multiple molecular pathways.
During periods of brain growth the sutures remain thin and straight, later developing …

Recent advances in the methods of skeletal age estimation have rekindled interest in their
applicability to paleodemography. The current study contributes to the discussion by …

Forensic osteologists have one big advantage over their archaeological colleagues: they
can check their conclusions when individuals are positively identified. Archaeological …

Determination of age at the time of death based on the observation of cranial sutures has led
to numerous studies with sometimes contradictory results. The initial hypothesis being that …

The global biomechanical impact of cranial sutures on the face and cranium during dynamic
conditions is not well understood. It is hypothesized that sutures act as energy absorbers …
