Overview

Analyzes bone formation criteria in nonadult skeletons to differentiate between physiological and pathological changes, suggesting new assessment frameworks.

Key Points

  • The aim is to differentiate physiological from pathological bone formation in immature skeletal remains.
  • Analyzed 172 nonadult skeletons aged 5 months to 6 years from the Granada osteological collection.
  • Excluded taphonomically altered bones and focused on 168 scapulae and 166 ilia under stereomicroscopy.
  • Characterized quality based on surface morphology and growth patterns using qualitative criteria.
  • Ossification rate declines with age, particularly after 0.5 years, yet porosity persists in key areas.
  • Physiological formations have flat spicules and evenly distributed pores; pathological cases present steeper projections and irregular margins.
  • Some variability in physiological traits noted, with early features retained beyond 1 year.
