American journal of physical anthropology, 158(4), 530-540. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.22820Epidemiological research since the 1980s has highlighted the consequences of early life adversity, particularly during gestation and early infancy, for adult health (the “Barker hypothesis”). The fast-evolving field of molecular epigenetics is provid...

The Use of Non-Adult Vertebral Dimensions as Indicators of Growth Disruption and Non-Specific Health Stress in Skeletal Populations (2015)
Journal Article
Newman, S., & Gowland, R. (2015). The Use of Non-Adult Vertebral Dimensions as Indicators of Growth Disruption and Non-Specific Health Stress in Skeletal Populations. American journal of physical anthropology, 158(1), 155-164. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.22770Objective: Traditional methods of detecting growth disruption have focused on deficiencies in the diaphyseal length of the long bones. This study proposes the implementation of vertebral measurements (body height and transverse diameter of the neural...

International Journal of Paleopathology, 10, 26-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpp.2015.04.002Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered to be an uncommon condition in paleopathology, although several case studies have recently been published. These studies tend to focus on changes in the small joints of the hands and feet, which are the most di...
