Article Reference Le Moustier 1 Neandertal – The discovery of two new sets of casts, 3D reconstruction and comparison with original fossils
The postcranial skeleton of the Le Moustier 1 Neandertal was severely damaged and burnt at the end of the Second World War. A series of plaster casts were realized on the skeleton before it was destroyed. Five casts are already known to be in existence. This study brings to light two more sets of casts which were recently discovered in Belgium. One set is from the Louis Deroubaix Museum (LDM) and the other set is from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS). The casts at the LDM were processed by Computed Tomography and three-dimensional models were produced. Measurements were taken both virtually and physically on all available postcranial bones from both LDM and RBINS casts. These measurements were then compared with previously published measurements taken on the original bones and the other available casts. There were no statistical differences between measurements on the original fossils and other existing casts and the physical and digitised casts from LDM and RBINS. The discovery of these new Le Moustier 1 casts is interesting because the original bones of the Neandertal juvenile Le Moustier 1 were destroyed and pre-adolescent Neandertals are not frequently found in the paleoanthropological record. Virtual copies of these casts are now freely available to other researchers and the public.

Article Reference Le nain et l’estropié de naissance, deux individus « hors normes » inhumés dans le cimetière médiéval de l’abbaye des Dunes de Coxyde.
Depending on the form it can take, disability is perceived differently by societies. Adequate care tailored to the severity of impairments sometimes determines the survival of disabled individuals. Some of these pathologies leave traces on the skeleton which can be detected by palaeopathologists. We present two “non-conforming” medieval individuals who must have stood out among their contemporaries. They were buried in the cistercian abbey of the Dunes at Coxyde (West Flanders), active mainly from the 12th to the 15th century. The first individual, suffering from disproportionate dwarfism with a normal-sized trunk and short limbs, lived for about forty years before being buried north of the abbey church. The second had a congenital bilateral calcaneus varus foot deformity, along with other serious pathologies indicating a persistence of mobility conditioned by the use of crutches. He passed away after 50 years and was buried in the cloister. If they had not been members of a monastic community or benefactors, would these subjects have had the same quality of life? Beyond the absence of difference in their funerary treatment, the care provided to these particular individuals testifies to their inclusion in medieval society and redefines our perception of their position in past communities. Selon les formes qu’il peut prendre, le handicap est perçu de manière variable par les sociétés. Une prise en charge adaptée à la sévérité des atteintes conditionne parfois la survie de sujets infirmes. Certaines de ces pathologies laissent des traces sur le squelette et peuvent ainsi être détectées par les paléopathologistes. Nous présentons deux individus médiévaux « hors normes » qui ont dû marquer leurs contemporains. Ils ont été inhumés au sein de l’abbaye cistercienne des Dunes de Coxyde (Flandre occidentale), en activité principalement du xiie au xve siècle. Le premier individu, qui souffrait de nanisme disproportionnel avec un tronc de taille normale et des membres courts, a vécu une quarantaine d’années avant d’être enterré au nord de l’église abbatiale. Le second était atteint d’un pied calcaneus varus congénital bilatéral ainsi que d’autres pathologies lourdes qui indiquent une persistance de sa mobilité conditionnée par l’utilisation de béquilles. Il est décédé après 50 ans et fut inhumé dans le cloître. S’ils n’avaient pas été membres d’une communauté monastique ou issus de classes sociales favorisées, ces sujets auraient-ils eu le même parcours de vie ? Au-delà de l’absence de différence de traitement funéraire, la prise en charge de ces individus particuliers témoigne de leur inclusion dans la société médiévale et redéfinit notre vision de leur place dans les communautés du passé.
