Abstract

An archaeologically retrieved skeleton, a female aged 35–50 years, from medieval Rochester, displays osseous changes which are considered to be diagnostic of meningiomatous hyperostosis. The dry bone findings are supported by X-ray and CT scan evidence. A search of the palaeopathological literature reveals only seven other convincing examples.
