Abstract
The case presented includes a left temporal bone from an individual exhumed from
the Hispano-Mudejar necropolis in Uceda (Guadalajara, Spain) dated between the
13th and 14th centuries BC. External examination and computed tomography images
show lesions in the external acoustic canal, in the form of diffuse widening, suggestive
of a cholesteatoma originating in this canal, with invasion of the middle ear
through the tympanic membrane. The difficulties with examining the internal elements
of the ear are discussed, which causes the underestimation of these diseases
in paleopathology studies.
