Post-Meeting

During the Plenary session, those assembled made the following recommendations:

- When reporting PSL, results of intraobserver error analysis (and interobserver if possible) should be presented.

- Observations can be made with the naked eye, but magnificent is also recommended. Please report magnification.

- Quality of light is of the utmost importance.

- Register all cribra forms, and consider the laterality;

- A complete and precise description of the lesions must be presented and, when possible, complemented with colored pictures;

- Information of N (total number of individuals in the sample), Y (number of observable individuals), n (number of individuals with cribra), and frequency (n/Y with %) must be presented;

- Co-occurrence should be analyzed, taking into consideration the observable bone regions;

- Data of non-adult and adult individuals should be analyzed separately;

- Two levels of data interpretation, the “tree” (Individual, drilled down) and the “forest” (sample, population level).
