This study integrates bone collagen stable isotope data (carbon, nitrogen and sulphur) from 33 human adult tibiae (15 females; 18 males) 13 faunal remains Tomar, while it was under the Military Orders domain (eleventh–seventeenth centuries). Historical literature indicates that amount of meat consumption amongst Templars lower than in individuals with similar social status. In Medieval times, these had total control towns angling fishing rights, but their influence on general population diet...
Abstract Introduction Physiological stress is one of the various factors that can have an impact on stable isotope ratios. However, its effect bone collagen ratios still not fully understood. This study aims to build previous research how different disease stages may affect Materials and Methods Carbon (δ 13 C) nitrogen 15 N) were assessed in 33 skeletons retained evidence infectious healed fractures. Samples taken from active lesions (long bones n = 14; ribs 4), 10; 9), or a fracture callus...

One of the periods with greatest social, cultural, and religious changes was, without a doubt, European medieval period. The concept “Family” was one fields that gradually evolved, from individuals who shared same biological lineage, to members “House”. ways study in ancient is through bioarchaeological perspective, where both anthropology genetics have proven be essential disciplines for studying “Families”. Through burial rituals, observing whether graves were single or multiple, as...
This study aims to describe various types of skeletal lesions and lesion patterns observed in five potential cases treponematosis from the same archaeological site.
<title>Abstract</title> The intersection of socioeconomic policies and health in archaeological contexts highlights how ancient societies' structures, practices, regulations influenced their people's well-being. This study investigates the diet a 13th to 15th -century Portuguese town, Estremoz, known for having royal privileges. By analysing human remains physiological stress indicators employing stable isotopic analysis estimate adult diet, research provides insights into life this medieval...
This study describes foot bone anomalies and the degenerative changes associated with locomotion adaptations.An adult male (approximately 29-46 years old) from Estremoz, Portugal (13th-15th century).The skeletal observed in this skeleton were described measurements compared between both sides of individual mean males same collection.The most anomalous bones are right medial cuneiform metatarsals. Degenerative more severe on left lower limb upper limb.This represents a unilateral case talipes...
