Description

This chapter discusses two case studies using limb bone microstructure samples from a medieval (eleventh to sixteenth centuries) English skeletal collection in Canterbury. The site represents low and high socio-economic status (SES) groups. Firstly, the effect of SES on skeletal growth is investigated by combining dental indicators of childhood physiological stress and products of bone remodelling in 17 adults. Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) is used as a proxy for childhood ill health, and...[Show more]

dc.description.abstractThis chapter discusses two case studies using limb bone microstructure samples from a medieval (eleventh to sixteenth centuries) English skeletal collection in Canterbury. The site represents low and high socio-economic status (SES) groups. Firstly, the effect of SES on skeletal growth is investigated by combining dental indicators of childhood physiological stress and products of bone remodelling in 17 adults. Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) is used as a proxy for childhood ill health, and femur mid-shaft osteon population density (OPD) represents adult bone density.
