Built on the backs of children
OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence and frequency of activity-related spinal pathologies in non-adults and young adults from three post-medieval (1650-1850 CE) Dutch populations with documented histories of child labour. MATERIALS: Well preserved human remains of 143 children and early young adults (4 years ± 1 year to 25 years ± 2 years) from three osteoarchaeological assemblages. METHODS: Macroscopic palaeopathological analysis was conducted t…
Social Determinants of Spinal Pathology in Adolescents From Urban Centers in the Post‐Medieval Netherlands (1650–1850 CE )
The study of trauma in individuals undergoing growth and development remains an understudied area of research but can provide unique insights into the lived experiences and social identities of young people in the past. This study examines vertebral compression fractures and Schmorl's nodes in children and adolescents (1–20 years at death) from four post‐medieval Dutch urban centers (1650–1850 CE ) to explore how age, socioeconomic status (SES), …
Association between morphological features in the cochlear promontory and mastoid Process
Infectious Middle Ear Disease (IMED) is a group of infections that frequently afflict individuals across all age groups worldwide. Although in today’s clinical practice IMED is efficiently managed, in the past it probably caused severe complications (e.g., hearing loss, balance problems, and facial nerve paralysis), heavily impacting the everyday life of many people. However, despite the valuable insights that studying ear infections in the past …
A distant city
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence of respiratory disease in several populations from the Netherlands across different time periods and socioeconomic conditions. MATERIALS: We analyzed 695 adult individuals from six different Dutch contexts of urban and rural settlements dating to different time periods (i.e., early-medieval, late-medieval, post-medieval). METHODS: For each individual, the presence/absence of chronic maxillary sinusitis, o…
Diet and urbanisation in medieval Holland. Studying dietary change through carious lesions and stable isotope analysis
In the late medieval period, Holland experienced substantial socio-economic change. While the region was largely undeveloped prior to 1200 CE, the period after was characterised by extensive urbanisation and flourishing international trade, changes that would have impacted many aspects of life. This paper investigates the effect of these changes on diet by comparing skeletal collections from the early/central medieval rural village of Blokhuizen …
Cribriotic lesions in archaeological human skeletal remains. Prevalence, co-occurrence, and association in medieval and early modern Netherlands
OBJECTIVE: This paper studies the prevalence, co-occurrence, and association of cribra orbitalia, cribra humeri, and cribra femora to contribute to the complex debate on cribriotic lesions and their relationship with one another. MATERIALS: 179 adults and 53 non-adults from the medieval/early modern Netherlands (800-1600 CE) for whom all three lesions could be observed are included in this study. METHODS: Presence or absence of cribriotic lesions…
Coming of age in the Netherlands
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to apply pubertal stage estimation methods to a sample from a rural community: the post-medieval Dutch skeletal collection from Middenbeemster. Puberty is a key developmental period involving transition to physical adulthood with broad societal relevance through its impact on fertility, morbidity, and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Individuals (n = 55), including 27 of known sex and age-at-death, betw…
Urbanization and respiratory stress in the Northern Low Countries
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between urbanization and upper respiratory health in two early modern populations from the Netherlands. For this purpose, we analyzed the prevalence of chronic maxillary sinusitis in the adult urban population of Arnhem (n = 83) and in the rural village of Middenbeemster (n = 74). A slightly higher prevalence of chronic maxillary sinusitis was observed in the Arnhem sample (55.4%) compared…
A probable case of metastatic carcinoma in the medieval Netherlands
Habitual Activity in Pre-industrial Rural and Urban Dutch Populations
This study combines historical data and the principles of bone functional adaptation to examine variation in terrestrial mobility in men and women from pre-industrial urban (Alkmaar 7M, 9F) and rural (Klaaskinderkerke 12M, 8F; Middenbeemster 21M, 22F) Dutch populations. Cross-sectional properties of the femoral and tibial midshaft are determined to investigate variation in lower limb mechanical loading. All populations had comparable age ranges. …
