“…Recently, the interest in the detection of infantile scurvy, in skeletal materials from various time periods and geographical regions, has significantly increased (e.g., Bourbou, ; Brickley & Ives, , ; Buckley et al, ; Castilla, Carretero, Gracia, & Arsuaga, ; Halcrow et al, ; Klaus, ; Lovász et al, ; Mays, ; Schattmann, Bertrand, Vatteoni, & Brickley, ; Snoddy, Halcrow, Buckley, Standen, & Arriaza, ; Wrobel, ). Moreover, different scientific methods such as histology (Schultz, ), radiology (Noordin et al, ; Popovich, McAlhany, Adewumi, & Barnes, ; Tamura et al, ), computed tomography (Zuckerman, Garofalo, Frohlich, & Ortner, ), and chromatography (Koon, , ; Pendery & Koon, ) were applied to support the macroscopic analyses, especially in the early stages of scurvy. Despite these increasing efforts, the limited success of detecting scurvy in immature skeletons did not change.…”
