Figure 1: Examples of pathological conditions present in the Kennewick skeleton. Upper left: Reactive area in the olecranon fossa of the left humerus; Upper right, Close-up view of reactive bone in the area of the septal aperture of the olecranon fossa of the left humerus; Lower left, Area of the head of the left radius showing evidence of localized trauma; Lower right, A 6mm in diameter, well-healed depressed fracture to outer table of the left frontal bone. The photograph is of a high-resolution epoxy cast of the lesion (the black bar is 2mm long).
Although the skeleton shows some evidence of localized infections and traumatic injuries (Figure 1), there is no clear evidence of osteoporosis or other systemic conditions that affect bone density and thus might influence the preservation of DNA.
