Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: Full ethical approval for the research was obtained from the University of Leicester. Portuguese ordinance no. 411/98 of December 30 permits non-judiciary exhumations 3 years after the inhumation provided that the body is fully skeletonised. If unclaimed, skeletons stay under the tutelage of the cemetery. The Cemetery of Capuchos donated the skeletons to the University of Coimbra and samples used in this research were taken from those unclaimed skeletons.
