dc.description.abstractSkeletal health indicators are often employed to measure how past populations adapted to their physical environment. The skeletons of children provide a measure of population fitness, as the ability of a community to keep their younger inhabitants alive and in general good health attest their ability to adapt to their environment. In this study, skeletal remains of non-adults from foetal to 17 years of age (n=300) from two cemetery populations in western Britain, namely the early medieval site of Llandough in south Wales (n=204) and the multi-period site of St Oswald’s Priory in Gloucester (n=96), were assessed. Non-specific indicators of physiological stress (cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperosprotosis, dental hypoplasia) and non-specific infections (periosteal new bone formation and endocranial lesions) are compared. Results suggest that the children from the English site enjoyed better health than their counterparts in Wales, where there was an increase in physiological stress during childhood.eng
dc.description.abstractIndicadores de la salud del esqueleto se emplean a menudo para medir las poblaciones del pasado adaptadas a su entorno físico. Los esqueletos de los niños proporcionan una medida de la aptitud de la población, ya que la capacidad de una comunidad para mantener con vida a sus habitantes más jóvenes y en buen estado de salud general atestigua su capacidad para adaptarse a su entorno. En este estudio, se evaluaron los restos óseos de no adultos, de fetos a 17 años de edad (n = 300), de dos poblaciones de cementerios en el oeste de Gran Bretaña, a saber, el sitio de la época medieval temprana de Llandough en el sur de Gales (n = 204) y el sitio multiepoca de St Oswald’s Priory en Gloucester (n = 96). Se comparan los indicadores no específicos de estrés fisiológico (cribra orbitalia, hiperostosis porótica, hipoplasia dental) y las infecciones no específicas (nueva formación ósea perisosteal y lesiones endocraneales). Los resultados sugieren que los niños del sitio Inglés disfrutaron de una mejor salud que sus contrapartes en Gales, donde se registró un aumento en el estrés fisiológico durante la infancia.spa
