Protocol for thin section preparation of non decalcified human bone tissue

Making thin sections from fossil and archaeological materials is usually a highly time consuming and expensive task. Also, the creation of a laboratory with necessary characteristics for the development of established protocols is also expensive. This paper presents an alternative protocol for obtai...

Also, the creation of a laboratory with necessary characteristics for the development of established protocols is also expensive. This paper presents an alternative protocol for obtaining thin sections of human bone samples from archaeological sites with the aim of applying it to microstructural analysis. The procedures for obtaining thin cuts that are detailed here are within the reach of newly formed laboratories. In the first place a femur, a tibia and a first rib n adult individual from a contemporary cemetery was measured and recorded with digital images. Fragments of 1 cm of bone were them extracted. Molds and casts of the extracted samples were prepared before thin section preparation. The obtained results were optimal for the observation of the microstructural bone features. With the appropriate modifications (set time, abrasive grading according to the hardness of the material, impregnation, etc.) this protocol could be useful for several kinds of samples (extant, archaeological and even fossil ones). La obtención de cortes delgados de restos óseos correspondiente tanto a materiales fósiles como arqueológicos suele ser una tarea poco sencilla, lo cual conlleva generalmente un elevado costo y tiempos prolongados. Por otra parte, la formación de un laboratorio con las características necesarias para la realización de protocolos ya establecidos es sumamente costosa. En este trabajo se presenta un protocolo alternativo para la obtención de cortes delgados de muestras óseas humanas de sitios arqueológicos con el objetivo de aplicarlo al análisis microestructural. Los procedimientos de obtención de cortes delgados que aquí se detallan están al alcance de laboratorios de reciente formación. En primer lugar, se midió y se registró con imágenes digitales un fémur, una tibia y una primera costilla de un individuo adulto procedente de un cementerio contemporáneo. Luego se extrajeron fragmentos de 1 cm de hueso. Con el material se confeccionaron réplicas y por último se obtuvieron los cortes delgados. Los resultados obtenidos fueron óptimos para la observación de las características microestructurales del hueso. Con los ajustes adecuados (tiempo de fraguado, granulometría del abrasivo de acuerdo a la dureza del material, impregnación, etc.) este protocolo podría ser utilizado para diversos tipos de muestras actuales, arqueológicas e incluso fósiles.
