Abstract:

This paper describes the biological archaeology studies of the human skeletons of Ming dynasty from the Zhongnanshijicheng cemetery in Shandong province. Dental pathologies (such as caries, enamel hypoplasia, malocclusions), skeletal pathologies (such as porotic hyperostosis, osteoarthritis) and trauma were analyzed in this paper. The results show that the gender difference and age change of the frequency of caries are not significant, with the higher frequency of caries of the posterior teeth than the anterior teeth.
