摘要: Bone remodeling variables in the rib were analyzed for a skeletal population of medieval antiquity (ca. A.D. 550-1450) from Kulubnarti, Sudanese Nubia. The remains are naturally mummified and an excellent state preservation. study sample consists thin sections ribs 80 individuals, ranging age 15-50+ years. Ribs examined using standard microscope image analysis software. Numbers intact osteons, fragmentary forming resorption spaces counted, osteon Haversian canal areas measured, several calculated to assess morphometric status rib. Variables included mean annual activation frequency, bone formation rate, net osteonal remodeling. Results indicate that changes consistent with those observed other archaeological modern samples. High numbers young males may reflect slower development boys compared girls. Comparisons data results previous on patterns femoral same have more osteons higher rates femur. Also, sexual differences size femur not Activation frequency rate low Kulubnarti previously published sample, finding reported Genetic factors influencing minimum effective strain setpoint duration maturation, addition repetitive high strains at contribute differences.
