The U.E.1096 vertebra displays severe lytic lesions on the inferior surface of the body, along with reactive osteophytic growth and hypervascularization on the superior surface and anterior portion, strongly suggesting vertebral tuberculosis. The element was recovered from a secondary deposition at Porto’s Order of Carmo burial site and exhumed in 2023.

Mandible U.E.6451, from a well-preserved skeleton of a young adult (possible male). The specimen exhibits widespread alveolar recession across all in situ teeth. Pathologies include severe crown destruction on the second left molar due to a carious lesion, and a localized periapical lesion at the root of the missing left canine. Evidence of ante-mortem tooth loss is present at the sites of the first and second left molars. The remains belong to a single burial found at the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo burial site(19th-century Porto, Portugal). They were exhumed in 2006.

U.E.5952 left tibia from a skeleton of a young adult, possibly female. The proximal extremity shows significant changes, with the articular facet having acquired a deepened concave shape, with a dense bone surface. The lateral condyle surface shows a discrete fracture line, with a slightly raised margin alongside the intercondyloid eminence. Changes may be the result of impact trauma. The remains were found at the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo burial site(19th-century Porto, Portugal). They were exhumed in 2006.
