Introduction
I am a Post-doctoral researcher in Biological Anthropology at the University of Coimbra. I am currently studying human remains from Muge and Sado (Mesolithic, Portugal).
My PhD research focused on the 3D examination and reconstruction of the adult fossils from Qafzeh Cave (Middle Palaeolithic, Southern Levant)
I am also involved in the study of the Neanderthal remains of Regourdou (Middle Palaeolithic, France) and of the 1812 soldiers from the Napoleonic Grande Armée, (Kaliningrad, Russia).

Micro-CT and medical imaging techniques are used to explore inacc...
Au Levant, le Paléolithique moyen (environ 200-50 Ka B.P.) correspond à une période cruciale pour la compréhension des mécanismes évolutifs et la dispersion des Homo sapiens hors d’Afrique. Le site de Qafzeh (Basse Galilée), au croisement des trois grandes aires géographiques de l’ancien monde, comprend des niveaux archéologiques chronologiquement...
The bony labyrinth has received growing attention in the field of human evolution as it is a useful phylogenetic indicator in hominins and is particularly useful for distinguishing anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals. The partial adult skeleton of Qafzeh 25 dated to 92 ± 5 ka B.P. suffers from serious post-mortem taphonomic damage that has...
Qafzeh 9 is an almost complete skeleton commonly employed as representative of the population of the eponymous site. However, its biological profile is still largely based on the age at death and sex estimation methods in use at the time of its discovery. Moreover, post-mortem damage to the skeleton has made difficult the observation of some morpho...
Objective:
This paper presents the inner ear modifications in Dar-es-Soltane II H5, an Aterian fossil possibly dated to 100 ka.
Material:
The remains consist of a large portion of the cranium including the face, the left frontal and temporal bones, part of the left parietal bone and greater wing of the sphenoid.
Methods:
The bony labyrinth ana...
The data correspond to an MP4 video showing the bone lesions of osteomyelitis in the right tibia of an infant approximately 9 months old at the time of death. Individual 9, from the Middle Holocene (6650–6170 BP) at the Toca do Enoque archaeological site in Piauí, Brazil, presented significant pathological bone changes and received exceptional mort...
Individual 9, a 9 ± 3-month-old infant from the Middle-Holocene (6,650-6,170 years
BP) found in Toca do Enoque rock-shelter in Piauí, Brazil, showed significant pathological bone changes and received exceptional mortuary treatment. Previous studies indicated administration of normative parental care and non-normative healthcare, although the differ...
Objectives
Deciphering the origins of bone alterations is crucial in paleoanthropology for understanding biological variation and distinguishing between taphonomy, normal anatomy, growth‐related changes, and pathological conditions.
Materials and Methods
Qafzeh 9, an early anatomically modern human from Lower Galilee, exhibits three alterations on...
Discovered 160 years ago, the Muge archaeological sites in Portugal yield the most significant documentation of human skeletons from the Mesolithic period in Western Europe (8200–7100 cal B.P.). However, sediment weight has caused significant postmortem alterations that have limited previous studies. Paleoimaging techniques were applied to overcome...
The bony labyrinth is often studied in paleoanthropology for the taxonomic identification of hominins with a special focus on the differentiation between Neanderthals and modern humans. Although the variability of Pleistocene populations is now well studied, the variability of Early and Middle Holocene modern human hunter‐gatherers is still poorly...
The Megalitho da Capella (Figueira da Foz, Coimbra, Portugal) is one of at least 21 dolmens in a megalithic complex explored by António dos Santos Rocha between 1880 and 1909. Among the human remains from Megalitho da Capella is an incomplete and fragmented cranium. Santos Rocha interpreted a groove on the parietal bone as an incision of traumatic...
Discovered 160 years ago, the 13 archaeological sites of Muge located in the Tagus Valley (Portugal) have delivered one of the most important collections of human remains dated to the Final Mesolithic in Western Europe, with estimates of up to 300 individuals having been recovered from these contexts. The individuals are buried under or within shel...
Numerous human fossils dating from the Middle Paleolithic (between about 250 and 50 ka BP) have been discovered in the Levant. Illustrating a unique diversity of human groups, the prehistoric peopling of the Levant appears more complex than that of Europe, known at that time as the territory of the Neanderthals. Discussions continue on the phylogen...
Discovered 150 years ago, Moita do Sebastião is a Final Mesolithic shell mound in the Tagus Valley. Around 85 individuals have been discovered but taphonomical alterations have limited their analysis by macroscopic observations. The application of imaging techniques brought crucial information for the understanding of the biology of these last hunt...

L’invasion de la Russie par la Grande Armée napoléonienne a été un véritable désastre. Des milliers de victimes ont été inhumées dans des fosses communes dans les villes garnisons lors de la retraite de Russie. Une de ces fosses a été découverte dans le centre-ville de Kaliningrad (anciennement Königsberg). De nombreux squelettes sont porteurs de t...
Les relations phylogénétiques des fossiles humains trouvés en contexte Moustérien (200-50 ka) au Levant font toujours l’objet d’intenses débats. Pour certains auteurs, ces fossiles doivent être rapprochés des Néanderthaliens européens, notamment en raison du parallélisme fait entre les deux industries moustériennes. D’autres considèrent que ce peup...
Le gisement de Regourdou situé sur la commune de Montignac-sur-Vézère, a livré en 1957, l'un des squelettes néanderthaliens les plus complets : Regourdou 1. L'ensemble des régions anatomiques, à l'exception du bloc crânio-facial, est représenté notamment grâce aux redécouvertes effectuées depuis 2008 dans les collections fauniques conservées au Mus...
The invasion of Russia by the Napoleonic Grande Armée was a complete disaster. The French army was decimated during the retreat from Russia. Thousands of victims were buried in mass graves located near several cities during the retreat. One of these mass graves was discovered in in the center of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), presently the most...
Le Levant a livré, pour le Paléolithique moyen, une importante collection de fossiles humains qui font l’objet de débat concernant leurs relations phylogénétiques. En effet, s’ils sont associés à un même techno-complexe moustérien, ils composent un groupe très divers sur le plan morphologique.
La grotte de Qafzeh en Basse Galilée, notamment fouill...
Un demi-siècle après sa découverte lors de fouilles conduites par B. Vandermeersch en Israël, le fossile Qafzeh 9 continue à susciter d’intenses réflexions qui font appel au contexte chrono-culturel dans lequel il a été mis au jour (unique sépulture double associée à un techno-complexe moustérien), aux caractéristiques de son squelette qui lui attr...
Parmi les ossements découverts à Regourdou figurait un calcanéus droit, Regourdou 2, trouvé hors contexte
sépulcral. Cet ossement exhumé en 1963 est régulièrement cité dans la littérature concernant les os du pied des Néandertaliens, sans avoir fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie. Dans cette contribution, nous proposons une analyse complète de cet...
Résumé : Au sein de l’échantillon d’individus de Qafzeh (Basse Galilée), datés du Paléolithique moyen, Qafzeh 25 est représenté par des composants du squelette ayant été sérieusement altérés pendant la fossilisation, et tout particulièrement le bloc crânio-facial et la mandibule compressés bilatéralement. Grâce aux avancées méthodologiques de l’ima...
Some fossils, crucial for the understanding of human evolution, are too fragmented or distorted to achieve a comprehensive study of their morphological characteristics. Among these fossils, specimens from Qafzeh Cave in Lower Galilee (Israel), dated to 92 +/- 5 ka BP, are of special interest as they are viewed as being essentially early non-African...
L’imagerie tridimensionnelle est maintenant d’utilisation courante en anthropologie biologique. Elle permet d’accroître considérablement le potentiel d’étude des restes squelettiques. Ainsi, dans le cas d’ossements ayant subi des lésions ante-mortem (par exemple un traumatisme) ou des altérations post-mortem, il est actuellement possible de procéde...
The purpose of this project is the expansion of our knowledge on the cranial morphology of first anatomically modern Humans (AMH) by performing a virtual restoration of the fragmented fossils from Qafzeh Cave.
During the military debacle of the Russian Campaign during the winter 1812, the Napoleonic “Grande Armée” was decimated. The French soldiers were forced to retreat from Moscow to Danzig, Königsberg or Vilnius. Extremely cold temperature, infectious diseases such as typhus and starvation killed more soldiers than fights with Russian troops. A large...
Depuis deux décennies, le recours aux méthodes de reconstruction 3D en paléoanthropologie connaît un grand développement, celles-ci ayant montré leur potentiel et leur fiabilité dans de nombreuses études, notamment sur le squelette crânien. Pour des pièces anthropologiques déformées post mortem, une restauration fiable par imagerie 3D autorise des...
