Assyrian Attitude Towards Captive Enemies
The Assyrians, who ruled at the height of their power between Egypt and the Persian Gulf (745–630 BC), are known from historical records to have been cruel and unrelenting towards their enemies. However, osteological evidence for this behavior is scarce. We herein present a case of an adult male skeleton, dated to the Iron Age IIB period (second half of the 8th century BC), who manifests traumatic injuries to the skull, left forearm, vertebrae, a…
Trauma to the Skull
Background: Although the southern Levant is commonly perceived as having been a violent region throughout history, few studies have explored the pattern and intensity of skull trauma through time in the general population. The aim of this study is to follow changes in traumatic injury patterns in the southern Levant, over an extensive period of 6,000 years. Methods: 783 archaeological skulls from the Tel Aviv University osteological collection we…
A Case of Dwarfism from the Byzantine City Rehovot-in-the-Negev, Israel
Skeletons of dwarfs have been found in many archaeological sites from around the world. Nevertheless, their descriptions (morphologically and metrically) are very limited. We describe herein the skeleton of a male dwarf, approximately 35-50 years old, found in the Byzantine cemetery (5th-8thcentury CE) of Rehovot-in-the-Negev, southern Israel. Living stature was estimated at 120-125 cm. Detailed morphological skeletal descriptions and morphometri…
