Abstract
Archaeology of epidemic and infectious disease
0
Papers on the identification and analysis of evidence in the archaeological record for various types of epidemic and infectious disease. Case studies are drawn from a wide variety of historical populations, mostly from cultures and locations outside the British Isles. Includes:
The archaeological study of epidemic and infectious disease
Peter Mitchell
171 - 179
giving an introduction to the issue, with a brief examination of the history of epidemic and infectious disease in the human population, and its visibility in the archaeological record.
Malaria in antiquity: a genetics perspective
Jennifer C C Hume
Emily J Lyons
Karen P Day
180 - 192
which considers the evidence available for the occurrence of malaria in ancient human populations. Genetic analysis suggests an expansion of Plasmodium falciparum within the last 6,000 years, which coincides with the population expansion of both humans and mosquitos brought about by the advent of agriculture, and with the development of larger settled populations. Preliminary studies suggest that Plasmodium vivax is considerably older.
