Urbanization, Economic Change, and Dental Health in Roman and Medieval Britain
In modern populations, inequalities in oral health have been observed between urban and rural communities, but to date the impact of the place of residence on oral health in archaeological populations has received only limited attention. This meta-study analyses dental palaeopathological data to examine the relationship between place of residence and oral health in Roman, early medieval, and late medieval Britain. Published data on ante-mortem to…

Exploring Health and Social Well-Being in Late Roman Britain
This article outlines a new method for comparing proxy data for the health and well-being of Late Roman populations through the statistical analysis of skeletal remains and material culture. A multistage statistical approach is applied to a sample of published Late Romano-British cemeteries. A battery of health indicators are compared using multidimensional scaling, and patterns in the provision of grave inclusions are analyzed using the Gini coe…
Inequality at Late Roman Baldock, Uk the Impact of Social Factors on Health and Diet
This study explores the impact of social inequality through a study of health and diet involving the analysis of skeletal remains and grave furnishings from the Roman period cemetery of Baldock, UK. Analysis revealed correlations between the presence of different types of grave furnishing with aspects of childhood health, and consistent differences in diet between individuals with different quantities and types of furnishings. These findings sugg…
Age estimation of archaeological remains using amino acid racemization in dental enamel
The poor accuracy of most current methods for estimating age‐at‐death in adult human skeletal remains is among the key problems facing palaeodemography. In forensic science, this problem has been solved for unburnt remains by the development of a chemical method for age estimation, using amino acid racemization in collagen extracted from dentine. Previous application of racemization methods to archaeological material has proven problematic. This …
Dental enamel hypoplasias and health changes in the Middle Bronze Age – Early Iron Age transition at Pella in Jordan
Courtship Contests and the Meaning of Conflict in the Folklore of Slaves
Brer Rabbit dancing and singing plum turned Miss Wolf's head.... Brer Rabbit he take the gal and go off home clipity, lipity.
