Demographic and environmental aspects of early bronze age population at Melčice in Slovakia

Original language description

In this study 32 individuals (4 subadults (0?19 year-old), 25 adults, and fragmentary human remains of 4 individuals) from Melčice-Lieskové (District of Trenčín), in Western Slovakia were scored for basic anthropological features, including palaeodemographical aspects, body stature, palaeopathological aspects, prevalence of dental enamel hypoplasia (DEH), cribra orbitalia, dental caries, and buccal dental microwear patterns in order to discover basic characteristics of diet, and the extent of non-specific stressors (i.e. indicators of metabolic and nutritional disruptions) during the Early Bronze Age (16th?15th century BC, Maďarovce culture). The mean estimated body stature in adult males was 167 cm, in females 160 cm. Palaeopathology aspects reveal the normal findings most frequently associated with degenerative changes in skeletons. Values of caries intensity were 7.0 and its frequency 64.3. These values showed lower caries intensity values within the Melčice-Lieskové population (7.5
