Synopsis "The Winthir Collection: A Documented Osteological Collection from Central Europe"

The Winthir Collection is one of the few identified skeletal collections from the 19th century, offering a rare insight into the lives of 245 individuals recovered from a long-forgotten section of Winthir Cemetery in Munich, southern Germany. Now housed in the State Collection for Anthropology in Munich, these remains have been analysed through an interdisciplinary project that combines historical and osteological research.For each individual, historical data such as demographics, cause of death, occupation, religious confession, number of children or burial class has been recorded. The osteological study reveals both population variation and the predominantly good preservation of the bones. Additionally, material finds accompanying the skeletons are described. This information is detailed in a comprehensive catalogue, enriched with numerous illustrations.Essays explore the methodological approaches, excavation details, historical context, and initial findings from the collection. As a reference resource, the Winthir Collection can play a crucial role in academic research and practical applications in fields like forensic science, archaeology, medicine, and human biology. It allows for the validation of osteological methods, deepens our understanding of human growth and variation, and helps differentiate normal morphology from pathological conditions.This book not only serves as an essential resource for researchers working with the Winthir Collection but also offers a fascinating window into life in 19th-century Munich. It may serve as a basis for further interdisciplinary and comparative research.
