Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Antropological data from a (n=140) Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age skeletal series provide insight into health, disease, and stress levels in Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in Armenia.The samples were recovered from the Lori region during excavations in 2009 and 2015.Macroscopic (observational) analysis of the teeth relied on inspection and exploration of the teeth in their totality.The southern gracile type is characteristic for individuals of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age from Lori region.The Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age was a time of greater nutritional stress.The most common findings were the dental caries with related complications and enamel hypoplasias.
