Regional and Temporal Differences in Disease, Trauma, and Mortality in Iron Age Britain
The British Iron Age (eighth to first centuries B.C.) is characterized by agrarian communities who were regionally diverse and highly distinctive. In this study, we explored three new research questions about these communities using data derived from the primary inhumations of Middle Iron Age (400–100 B.C.) Yorkshire and Early to Late Iron Age Dorset (eighth century B.C. to early–mid first century A.D.) and a range of statistical approaches: did …
Growing Old in the Industrial Age
The elderly have been neglected within bioarchaeological discourse, partly due to limitations in current osteological techniques for identifying older adults. Historical evidence suggests that older women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were often denigrated and neglected, but this has yet to be fully explored within bioarchaeological research. This study aims to investigate elderly underrepresentation in bioarchaeological discourse, a…
Dental calculus in the industrial age
The analysis of dental calculus (mineralised dental plaque) has become an increasingly important facet of bioarchaeological research. Although microscopic analysis of microdebris entrapped within dental calculus has revealed important insights into the diet, health, and environment of multiple prehistoric populations, relatively few studies have examined the contributions of this approach to more recent historical periods. In this study, we analy…
Grim up North? Exploring the diet of urban populations in post-medieval Greater Manchester, England, using stable isotope analysis
Historical evidence suggests that social status played a major role in all aspects of society in eighteenth-nineteenth century England. We present an insight into how socioeconomic status affected the dietary habits of two post-medieval urban populations from Greater Manchester, northwest England. Stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios were measured in humans from Cross Street Unitarian Chapel (middle class:n = 90) in Manchester …
Application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and neural networks on archaeological human bones for the discrimination of distinct individuals
Broken Childhoods
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, England underwent a period of rapid urbanization and industrialization. The detrimental effects of urban living conditions and child factory labor on the health of children during this time has been the subject of considerable debate and investigation by historians. It is generally understood that growing up in a rural environment was more conducive to healthy growth and development than within an i…
Preservation of the metaproteome
Proteomic analysis of dental calculus is emerging as a powerful tool for disease and dietary characterisation of archaeological populations. To better understand the variability in protein results from dental calculus, we analysed 21 samples from three Roman-period populations to compare: 1) the quantity of extracted protein; 2) the number of mass spectral queries; and 3) the number of peptide spectral matches and protein identifications. We foun…
Response to the paper by Redfern and Clegg by Malin Holst
In their paper, Redfern and Clegg draw attention to two key issues that have an adverse effect on English and Welsh osteological assemblages, including the commercial post-excavation analysis of human remains and academic research of human skeletons. This response to Redfern and Clegg's paper is based on the experiences of these issues as a managing director of a commercial osteological company (York Osteoarchaeology Ltd) and as a lecturer in Bio…
Finding Vikings in the Danelaw
Historical, artefactual and place‐name evidence indicates that S candinavian migrants moved to eastern E ngland in the ninth century AD , settling in the D anelaw. However, only a handful of characteristically S candinavian burials have been found in the region. One, widely held, explanation is that most of these S candinavian settlers quickly adopted local C hristian burial customs, thus leaving S candinavians indistinguishable from the A nglo‐ …
Palaeo-otology of cholesteatoma
A cholesteatoma is a collection of dead epithelial cells in the ear which becomes infected with low-grade pathogenic microorganisms. The lesion tends to cause resorption of the surrounding bone, which potentially permits its recognition in skeletal remains. Cholesteatoma may occur in the middle or the outer ear. Using two examples of cholesteatoma in skeletal remains from British archaeological sites, the differential diagnosis of cholesteatoma f…
