Abstract: |
Includes two papers relevant to British material: A H Goodman, Debra L Martin, G J Armelagos & George Clark (pp 13-49), 'Indications of stress from bones and teeth' (reviews current uses of evidence, organized around a model of causes and results of physiological disruption or stress, and looks at demographic and other implications); Christopher Meiklejohn, Catherine Schentag, Alexandra Venema & Patrick Key (75-100), 'Socioeconomic change and patterns of pathology and variation in the Mesolithic and Neolithic of Western Europe' (reviews the literature for some 130 sites; though it is hard to see trends over time as yet, there is a significant difference in caries incidence from Meso to Neo, perhaps for dietary reasons; and stature decreases from Upper Pal through Meso, rising again in Neo: dietary reasons or activity patterns?) |
