Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Skeletons from Wharram Percy are used to investigate the relationship between Harris lines and long-bone length, thickness of cortical bone and dental enamel hypoplasias. Adult and juvenile skeletons are analysed separately. For the juveniles, a significant relationship was found between presence/absence of Harris lines and the thickness of cortical bone, and dental enamel hypoplasia, but not long-bone length. No significant relationship between Harris lines and any of the three parameters was found for adults. The results are interpreted in terms of the nature of the stress episodes which give rise to the Harris lines and the effects of resorption of lines by bone remodelling. This study reinforces an earlier conclusion (see 85/1351) that combining Harris line studies with other aspects of bone growth may enable one to define more closely the nature of the stress episodes giving rise to the lines. It is preferable to study juveniles rather than adults when investigating relationships between Harris lines and other stress indicators. | |
