Polyarticular inflammatory arthritis in a pre‐Columbian skeleton from Kodiak Island, Alaska, U.S.A.
Abstract A human skeleton of a 30–35‐year‐old female from Kodiak Island, Alaska, U.S.A. exhibits skeletal lesions which strongly suggest polyarticular inflammatory arthritis. Skeletal lesions associated with the joints include porosity and destruction of joint surfaces, periarticular cystic erosion,...
