Paleopathology Case 19

The left humerus was the only material recovered from this adult. The length is 161 mm. The epiphysis are well-fused. The proximal shaft is thickened and robust with enlarged greater and lesser tubercles and an extremely prominent deltoid tuberosity. The olecranon fossa is small, as are the radial and coronoid fossae. The medial epicondyle is exaggerated, giving a flared appearance distally.
