The Alto Salaverry child: A case of anemia from the Peruvian Preceramic

Excavations during 1974 at the Peruvian Preceramic site of Alto Salaverry led to the discovery of a child's skeleton. The fragmentary skeleton exhibits cribra orbitalia, a pitting of the orbital roof associated with anemia. This specimen provides the first evidence of anemia in a population of the predominantly non-agricultural Peruvian Preceramic and extends the antiquity of the pathology among Precolumbian Peruvians.

A SURVIVAL OF THE “THAMES PICK.”—Man for September contains a note by Mrs. M. E. Cunnington on a “Thames Pick” found on a ledge or shelf in the chalk side of a pit-dwelling in Casterley Camp, Wilts. The flint is of a pale bluish-grey, the unground sharp nose shows no sign of use, and the whole surface is sharp and rough to the touch as if newly made, as it must have been when buried in the pit. The “Thames Pick ” type of implement is usually held to be of late palæolithic or early neolithic date. In the present instance, however, it is recorded that it was found with three skeletons, two adult and one of a child, and under one of these were the remains of an iron brooch with a spiral spring of La Ttae type, and under the child's skeleton was a second fragment of iron which was possibly the bow of another brooch. Pottery of a poor quality was also found which, taken in conjunction with the flint implement, might have led to an attribution to the Neolithic Age had it not been for the presence of iron. It is, however, clear from this find that implements of this type continued to be manufactured in Britain until well into the Iron Age.
