pseudopathology
pseudopathology noun: an apparent pathology.
Noun
pseudopathology (plural pseudopathologies)
- An apparent pathology.
- Nevertheless, with a little experience, true lytic lesions tend to “jump out” at one from within the myriad taphonomic defects that characterize archaeological skeletal remains. Distinguishing true from pseudopathology by eye becomes largely an intuitive (Type 1 in DPM terms) process.2023, Simon Mays, “The Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal Paleopathology” (chapter 2), in The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology, Routledge, →DOI, →ISBN, page 29
