Social History of English Seamen, 1485-1649
The Social History of English Seamen, 1485-1649
An overview of a wide range of aspects of maritime social history in the Tudor and early Stuart period. Traditionally, the history of English maritime adventures has focused on the great sea captains and swashbucklers. However, over the past few decades, social historians have begun to examine the less well-known seafarers who wereon the dangerous voyages of commerce, exploration, privateering and piracy, as well as naval campaigns. This book bri…
Musculoskeletal evidence for activity
The evaluation of muscle insertions on the humerus, by measurement or by subjective scoring, is discussed. Two archaeological groups, the burials from the Mary Rose and those from a medieval parish cemetery are evaluated, together with a modern X-ray sample of divers, and a method of relating muscles scores to X-ray measurements is tested, with mixed results. These results support other research on the humerus for the men from the Mary Rose, sugg…
Neolithic/Early Bronze Age Pit Circles and their Environs at Oakham, Rutland
Fieldwork east of Oakham, Rutland has located evidence of prehistoric settlement, land use patterns, and ceremonial monuments. Part of this included the excavation of a cropmark site which has revealed an unusual sequence of Neolithic/Early Bronze Age pit circles and a burial area. This is complemented by a fieldwalking survey of the surrounding areas, allowing consideration of the relationship of juxtaposed flint scatters and the excavated cerem…
Care in the Medieval community
Evidence from a Medieval parish cemetery in Norwich, England, suggests the presence of a caring, supportive community. As well as episodes of healed trauma and the presence of chronic infectious disease, two severely disabled individuals survived into adulthood. Number 439 (presented at Göttingen in 1994 and extensively discussed since) was at first thought to be suffering from a dysplasia. The general consensus now, however, suggests a juvenile …

Patterns of trauma in a unique medieval parish cemetery
The church and cemetery of St Margaret Fyebridgegate, Norwich were in use from AD 1245 to 1468. The cemetery was used to bury both the parishioners and hanged felons. On excavation, 52 group burials of various sizes were encountered, some containing prone individuals. Four hundred and thirteen inhumations have been examined, of which one-third had evidence of episodes of trauma. Comparison is made of the types of trauma present with evidence from…

Asymmetry and activity-related change in the male humerus
Some previous studies of activity-related change in the human skeleton have been of doubtful validity because specific changes have been related to particular tasks. Claims to establish such relationships have often concentrated on the development of entheses. Such work is marred by the incorrect assumption that muscles work in isolation in the performance of a single activity. In addition, normal skeletal asymmetry is often ignored, as is age an…

Paget's disease (osteitis deformans)
Osteitis deformans, first described by Sir James Paget in 1877, is rare in the palaeopathological record. Today, it is a common disease in individuals of 50 or more years, with frequency and extent of skeletal involvement increasing with age. This predilection for the elderly is thought to be the reason why the disease is rarely found in archaeological groups; until recently, it has always been assumed that individuals in the past died relatively…
Pre-Columbian treponematosis in medieval Britain
There has been much debate regarding the origins of treponemal disease and, in particular, acquired syphilis. Greater numbers of skeletons with apparently diagnostic bone lesions in the New World than in the Old have given rise to the postulate, particularly advanced by American workers, that the disease originated there prior to AD 1492 and was carried back to the Old World by Columbus's sailors. This paper presents evidence for the presence of …
