Meanings
nounpseudopathology (plural pseudopathologies)
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.
