Presenting IMPACT results at the #PPA2026 including machine learning models and network analysis. Taking home message: Fractography is the key to understand BFT; not solely the trauma location

IMPACT is proceeding well: the forensic data collection is completed & over 3000 machine learning models were trained and tested to find the best one! Curious how to predict the trauma cause? Results will be presented soon at the conference of the Paleopathology Association in Berlin.

Sex estimation in human cremated remains is now easier, more objective and replicable. Check out this study and software

It was a pleasure to organize a "trauma at the human skeleton" workshop in Weimar. Many interesting talks and hands-on case discussions.

IMPACT project is proceeding well with over 170 postmortem CT scans already analyzed and nearly 2000 recorded traumata in the database! Besides the regular data collection, there is also time to look at some prehistoric trauma cases from Lithuania: www.facebook.com/marijampoles...
