Document Summary
Lecture #16, oct 23, 2014 human behavior derived through study of human skeletal remains. The sciatic notch, os coxae, and pubic symphysis are elements on the human pelvis. Clark s. larson"s study of skeletal remains recovered from stillwater marsh and elsewhere suggested that agriculture resulted in a poorer diet compared to the previous hunting and gathering diet. Strontium isotope studies revealed that four of individuals interred at campache, yucatan in the. Age determinations from skeletal remains: rates and degrees of epiphyses fusion, rates of tooth eruption, rates/degree of tooth wear. Paleopathology: the study of ancient patterns of disease, disorders, and trauma: anemia, prorotic hyperostosis. 1: cribra orbitalia, growth arrest (disease/trauma or seasonal malnutrition/hunger, harris lines, enamel hypoplasia. Trauma: bone breakage, blunt trauma: activity patterns, accidents, warfare/sacrifice. Surgery/medical care: trephination, bone setting (often implied by straight bone/cleaner healing) Cranial shaping: well-known in many parts of the world through the ages: dental modification as with some remains from campache cemetery.
