Biological indicators of subadult stress in the Late Antique population of Cibalae

The purpose of this study was to get a better insight on life-conditions in Late Antiquity. In order to do so, skeletal sample from the Late Antique Cibalae was anthropologically analysed to determine subadult mortality rate, average life span for males and females, and the presence and frequency of indicators of subadult stress. Pathologies indicative of subadult stress include: the presence of cribra orbitalia, linear enamel hypoplasia, and non-specific infectious disease (periostitis). Indicators of subadult stress proved to be very useful when trying to assess health and life quality of an archaeological population.
