[The new cemetery in Katyn: a permanent monument to the murder of Polish officers, including pharmacists. The authors' own report].

Polish army officers were called up in 1939, due to German aggression against Poland. Those who were in eastern Poland which had been occupied but the Soviet Union since September 17th 1939, were captured by the Red Army and committed to the NKVD. They were imprisoned in several camps and murdered (nearly 25.000 persons) in April and May 1940. The prisoners from the camp in Kozelsk (over 4.400 persons) were shot in Katyn forest near Smolensk. The authors went there on April 19, 2000 and were attracted by the commemorative plaques to over 60 murdered pharmacists.

[The absence of a central lower incisor in a medieval subject from the Norman cemetery of San Lorenzo di Aversa (Caserta)].

The authors describes a case of hypodontia in a male subject aged about 45 years and coming from the medieval necropolis of San Lorenzo of Aversa (Caserta, South Italy), dated to 890-1290 A.D. Hypodontia consists of the absence of a central inferior incisor (probably the left). Radiographic examination excluded the presence of a healed traumatic lesion. For this reason, the authors suggests that the described hypodontia was related to a primary agenesia of the central inferior incisor.

[Contributions of dentistry to physical anthropology: example of the medieval cemetery of Coxyde].

The role of the odontologist is crucial for the study of archaeological material. The excavations at the site of the ancient abbey of the Dunes of Koksijde led to the discovery of more than a thousand burial places. It is possible to estimate the age of the skeletons by studying molar dental wear. This method is however less appropriate for the industrialised populations of the 21st century, because of the switch to more diverse and processed (less abrasive) food.
