We present the case of an individual from the Simon Identified Skeletal Collection (Vaud, Switzerland) who appears to have been affected by a form of neoplastic disease. A detailed description and differential diagnosis of the lesions was conducted and is presented here. Considering the biological profile of the individual, the distribution of the lesions, and their appearance, a case is made for multiple myeloma as the most likely diagnosis. This case study demonstrates the importance of adopting a detailed approach for recording the metric and non-metric traits of lesions, using multiple methods of analysis, and providing graphic and photographic documentation in order to provide valuable comparison material through publication. The good preservation of the remains and the background information available for the individual also make this case ideal for inclusion in future comparative studies.

RésuméEntité de la fin du Néolithique européen, le Campaniforme, que l’on a du mal à définir et à cerner comme un tout, a bénéficié d’interprétations diverses et variées. À l’origine de ces difficultés, son ample répartition géographique et ses composantes culturelles complexes. Depuis quelques années maintenant, la recherche au sein du laboratoire d’archéologie préhistorique et anthropologie de l’université de Genève privilégie les études à l’échelle du phénomène. Par l’étude de quatre volets complémentaires (la typologie et la chronologie de la céramique commune, l’occupation du territoire, la métallurgie du cuivre et l’anthropologie dentaire), l’objectif est de saisir les modalités de transition régissant le passage du Néolithique final au Campaniforme. L’accent est porté dans cette contribution non seulement sur l’un des volets du programme de recherche - l’anthropologie dentaire -, mais également sur une région clé pour la compréhension de l’émergence du Campaniforme : le nord de l’Espagne. L’objectif étant de définir par l’étude des traits non métriques dentaires si l’apparition de cette entité coïncide ou non avec un renouvellement de la population. Les analyses sont réalisées à partir de 11 sites regroupés en sept ensembles appartenant au Néolithique final, au Chalcolithique et au Campaniforme et à partir de 17 variables dentaires. Les résultats paléobiologiques sont très proches des interprétations issues des analyses archéologiques plaidant en faveur d’une continuité de peuplement avec l’émergence du Campaniforme dans cette région.AbstractAs an entity of the end of the European Neolithic, the Bell Beaker phenomenon, although difficult to define and explain as a whole, has been the subject of diverse and varied interpretations. The difficulties are due to its broad geographic distribution and complex cultural components. For several years now, research at the Laboratory of Prehistoric archaeology and anthropology at the University of Geneva has focused on the Bell Beaker culture area as a whole. Through four complementary lines of research (typology and chronology of common ceramic pottery, areas of settlement, copper metallurgy and dental anthropology), the aim is to identify the patterns that governed the transition from the Final Neolithic to the Bell Beaker culture. In this paper, the emphasis is not only on dental anthropology as one of the lines of research, but also on a key region for understanding the emergence of the Bell Beaker culture: northern Spain. The aim was to determine, through analyses of non-metric dental traits, whether or not the emergence of the Bell Beaker culture coincided with a renewal of the population. These analyses were made for 11 sites divided into seven groups belonging to the Final Neolithic, the Chalcolithic and the Bell Beaker, using 17 dental variables. The palaeobiological results are in close agreement with interpretations suggested by archaeological results that argue in favour of continuous settlement in northern Spain as the Bell Beaker culture emerged.
