Version 1 (v1) of this dataset includes 45 human cranial specimens represented as 3D digital models exhibiting representative pathological conditions. These specimens were selected to capture a broad range of morphological variations associated with different pathological categories, providing a structured reference framework for the study of cranial pathology in human skeletal remains.
\nThis dataset is dynamic and will be progressively updated in subsequent versions as additional 3D models are processed, curated, and uploaded to the MorphoSource repository within the VOSTEO3D project.

Specimens were selectively chosen based on the presence of representative pathological features, digitized using 3D scanning technologies, and subsequently processed, labeled, and deposited in the MorphoSource repository.
\nThis dataset compiles the metadata associated with the \"VOSTEO3D-CranialPath: A Digital Gateway to Cranial Pathology\" collection available in MorphoSource, providing a structured framework to facilitate access, identification, and reuse of digital cranial specimens in physical and forensic anthropology, paleopathology, and biomedical research.
\nEach entry corresponds to an individual human cranial specimen and includes variables such as specimen identification, taxonomy, anatomical element, biological sex (when available), pathology classification, and detailed pathological description. Additionally, technical metadata related to 3D acquisition (e.g., scanning modality and device) and persistent links to the original MorphoSource records are provided, ensuring traceability and reproducibility.
\nBy integrating specimen selection, digitization, and metadata standardization, this dataset represents a curated digital resource that addresses the need for interoperable and reusable 3D cranial pathology data. It supports comparative morphological analyses, the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, and educational use in human identification and skeletal biology.
\nThe dataset is released as open metadata under a permissive license, while the 3D models remain subject to the licensing conditions defined within MorphoSource.
