One place, many worlds – nutrition strategies of human groups inhabiting the site 3 in Miechów (southern Poland) since the Neolithic until the Iron Age
Studies on the ratios of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen constitute a research tool commonly applied in bioarchaeology to reconstruct human diets, including the origins of proteins consumed, the relationship between plant and animal foods, weaning processes, and parameters of the environment from which the food was obtained. Within the comprehensive analysis of the excavation results carried out at site 3 in Miechów (approximately 30 km no…
Migration Period in Central Europe
The Migration Period (4 th –5 th centuries AD) in Central Europe was marked by profound demographic and cultural transformations. Nevertheless, bioarchaeological data from this period remain scarce across the region. Tyniec upon Ślęża constitutes the only newly excavated Migration Period cemetery in southern Poland, providing a rare opportunity to explore lifeways during this transformative epoch. Stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope …
Did family size affect differences in body height in non-urbanized societies? Evidence from the Lemko community in Poland in the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of economic changes in the Polish territories under Austrian partition at the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th centuries on the trend in adult body height, and to examine the effect of number of children in a family, as a socioeconomic factor, on the differences in heights of males and females. Data collected in a 1939 survey for a group of 350 Lemkos living in Polish lands under the …
Body mass index values of conscripts in the Polish lands under Prussian rule in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Opportunity for the Operation of Natural Selection in a Contemporary Local Population (The Case of Slovincians, Poland)
In research practice, it is possible to observe natural selection at work by analysing fertility and mortality. Crow’s index takes into account both of these vital statistics components and allows a quantitative estimation of the operation of natural selection on the basis of demographic birth and death figures. In this study, we use the classical Crow’s index to determine whether the disintegration of the Slovincian population in the second half…
Biological Status of Subcarpathian Settlers in the First Half of the 20th Century
The purpose of the paper is (a) to present the characteristics describing opportunity for natural selection in the population of the Subcarpathian settlers in the first half of the 20th century and (b) to assess the secular trend in body height in this immigrant group living in isolation from the surrounding Slavic population. The research material comes from the historical data stored in the archives of the Institute of Anthropology in Poznañ. E…
Intergenerational Changes in the Biological Dynamics of Populations from Southern Poland in the 20th Century
The study material contained questionnaires with questions referring to three generations of women living in two geographical regions of Poland, Podbeskidzie (313 families) and Podkarpacie (437 families). By computing fertility rates, we attempted to find out whether there were any regional factors determining the biological dynamics of these populations in the 20th century. We were also looking for an answer to the question whether living condit…
Does the occurrence of Harris lines affect the morphology of human long bones?
The frequency of appearance of transverse (Harris) lines in the tibia in relationship to age at death
Therefore, one can presume that the individuals who died in the maturus age were more resistant to adverse living conditions or their reaction to those conditions was weaker and hence they lived longer
Linie Harrisa jako miernik reakcji morfologicznej na warunki życia
INTERPRE TATIONS, CONTROVERSIES AND PERSPECTIVES. The paper presents some conclusions concerning the studies on Harris lines which have been carried out for nearly 70 years. Investigations of this type are particularly important for our knowledge of the morphological changes of human skeleton. The objectives of this study were: (1) to present the history of the studies on Harris lines, (2) to point out the main methodological assumption and limit…
