  1. Archaeological Sciences School of Life Sciences Using human remains in teaching and practicing archaeology: Intercultural perspectives Do we need bones?... Innovation in teaching with human remains #HEABradfordBones

  2. Digitised DiseasesHEA Using human remains in teaching and practicing archaeology: Intercultural perspectivesWednesday 19th March 2014 Andrew S. Wilson FHEA, et al. Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford a.s.wilson2@bradford.ac.uk

  3. Archaeological Sciences & Centre for Visual Computing Pathological Bones • Most fragile • Most interesting… • Most frequently used for teaching and requested for research Osteosarcoma, Wolverhampton 39, Ortner et al 2012

  4. Archaeological Sciences & Centre for Visual Computing • Focused on chronic diseases affecting the skeleton for which many of the physical changes are often not readily observable even within clinical practice

  5. Archaeological Sciences & Centre for Visual Computing • St. James and St. Mary Magdalene Leprosarium, Chichester • 75 originally identified with Leprous skeletal changes, now have 84. • ~460 historic clinical radiographs collected by Dr Johs Anderson now digitised.

  6. “informing clinical understanding of chronic conditions affecting the skeleton using archaeological and historical exemplars”

  10. Archaeological Sciences & Centre for Visual Computing Pathological Descriptions, Clinical Synopses & Lay Summaries B0575 Described 11/10/2012 RS Hereford Cathedral (He93A) 1332 Age Adult Sex Indeterminate Associated with B0572-B0574, B0576-B0596 Left talus There is considerable deformity in shape, leaving little resemblance to the normal talar morphology. When in anatomical position, the head is directed plantomedially, the lateral malleolar facet is situated anterolaterally, and articular surface of the head is reduced in size and located on the medial surface. The articular surface of the trochlea is reduced in size and flattened. There is irregular bone spicules and plaques on the lateral surface of the head. There is a large enthesophyte on the plantar surface in the talar sulcus. Pitting and porosity is observed on both the lateral and medial surface of the body and neck. There is a triangular shallow destructive lesion on the medial malleolar facet that has smooth margins and a pitted/porotic floor, which measures c.7.5mm (anteroposterior) x c. 5.6mm (superoinferior). Note: The changes in the lower leg and foot indicate this individual had talipes equinovarus or ‘club foot.’ Developmental-dysplastic-talipes equinovarus
