1. Specimen Assemblage
Bioarchaeology DB
Click highlighted bone element to inspect osteological lesion telemetry.
2. Pelvic & Groin Trajectory Model
Perimortem Vector
Anatomical Zone of Penetration:
Right Iliac Fossa / Pelvic Inlet
Bone Beveling & Fracture Morphology:
Superior-to-Inferior Internal Delamination
Vascular Vulnerability Index:
Critical (98% Transsection Probability)
Biomechanical Interpretation: A steep downward trajectory (30°–50°) into the unarmored groin aperture is characteristic of mounted lance strikes against unmounted infantry, bypassing shield coverage and abdominal mail.
3. Forensic Case Findings

Perimortem Trauma:
2
Antemortem (Healed):

Primary Impact Zone:
Pelvic / Groin Complex (66.7% of perimortem trauma)
Lethality Index:
Fatal (acute catastrophic hemorrhage from iliac vascular disruption)
Probable Scenario:
Downward cavalry lance charge against standing infantry with inferior thrust angle into unprotected lower abdominal / pelvic aperture
Recorded Osteological Lesions
Macro Paleopathology Criteria
Perimortem
