Volume Highlights - V. 43The palaeopathology of industry, a perspective from Britain by Simon A. Mays. Focusing intently on the myriad ways in which paleopathology is poised to contribute substantially to our understanding of the repercussions of industrialization, this paper moves beyond recognition of particular diseases and argues for careful integration of archaeological and historical documentation, along with careful statistical analyses, as a means to explore complex social and environmental variables affecting human health. This article is OPEN ACCESS and is freely available to all readers. Volume highlights - V. 44Ageing and disease risk factors: A new paleoepidemiological methodology for understanding disease in the past by Jo Appleby. Tackling confounding issues regarding the assessment of age at death of human skeletal remains, alongside diseases associated with the ageing process, the author offers means by which risk factors for chronic disease can be evaluated. The author advocates for careful integration of multiple lines of evidence and context-specific data in order to develop a model of risk that steps far beyond obtuse generalizations about human life.
