      FORDISC (the program used in this examination) has issues. (See some criticisms here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FORDISC ). I winced when I saw it in the article, honestly.

      Re. the individual in the river, I am about to go look on JSTOR to see if this has been written up anywhere. Personally, I am pretty much discounting everything said in the BBC and Wiltshire news articles about this, since the folks who were quoted appeared to be members of

      As I mentioned before, ancestry determination could be said to have a place in forensics, since the goal of a forensic examination is often to ascertain the identity of a modern individual. Archaeologically, this practice is much less clear cut, particularly in light of the

      history of bioanthropology. There are multiple multiple problems with this, not least of which is the fact that the baseline datasets are fucked up, incomplete, founded on outmoded/outdated/incorrect assumptions.

      Additionally, even if we assume that the datasets are not a mess and that the bones really do show ancestry through certain specific traits, admixtures today and in the past would make ancestry determination difficult if not impossible.

      Yes, thank you for this. I found it very distressing that the article talks about 'black' and 'white' features, compares her to Black women in 19th c America, and then from her features makes the North African claim because...they had a lot of mixing? Idk.

      I'm not finding anything on JSTOR or Google Scholar about this, which may be my search terms or may be that they didn't do any analysis and just did a reburial or stored the individual. Gonna see if I can find info from the local historical society...

      It's a single individual, randomly located, I kind of doubt anybody would want to do really intensive research on this? It's kind of sad that it was a news story in 2013 and then absolutely nothing after the initial discovery though.

      Massively troubling. We spend how much time on the recovery and identification of Richard III but nothing on this person.

          Thing is, without any context, there's not a lot that can be done archaeologically. It might be interesting to do an actual osteological analysis, isotopes, etc., especially since it appears to be a fairly complete skeleton, but... 🙄
