The frequency of stress indicators in Giecz was determined from unpublished data collected by HM Justus and AM Agnew as part of the Global History of Health Project. The incidence of stress indicators in Trino Vercellese was derived from data published in Negro Ponzi Mancini, 1999. Analyses are limited to adults of known sex for whom a given trait could be scored. CO = cribra orbitalia; PH = porotic hyperostosis; LEH = linear enamel hypoplasia.
