Congenital absence of the ulna with humeroradial synostosis in a prehistoric skeleton from Moundville, Alabama

Abstract: An archaeologically‐derived example of congenital absence of the ulna and humeroradial synostosis in a prehistoric North American adult female from Moundville, Alabama is presented. That a physically deformed individual could survive to adulthood attests to her ability to physically adjust to the handicap, as well as society's acceptance, support, or at the very least its indulgence, of persons with potentially crippling deformities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…To the best of our knowledge, the case presented here is the first documented example of CHRUS and CHUS from an archaeological context. Like previous scholars, we stress the importance of using gross and radiographic evidence to analyse all skeletal elements with congenital abnormalities (Antón & Polidoro, ; Mann, Thomas, & Adams, ; Titelbaum & Verano, ). This will increase our understanding of (a) the secondary effects of congenital abnormalities to the rest of the skeleton and (b) the geographic distribution of these conditions in the archaeological record.…”

“…Two of these people, one male and one female with achondroplastic dwarfism, were found buried face down (Snow, 1943). A third impaired individual from Moundville, reported by Mann et al (1998), was an adult female with a limb deficiency, a congenital absence of the right ulna with humeroradial synostosis. The burial location of this individual is not reported, but neither she nor the individuals with achondroplasy were interred with funerary objects.…”
