| Research Abstract |
We studied medieval and early modern human skeletal remains.We have applied molecular genetic methods to one of early modern Ainu bone specimen, and confirmed the possible involvement of the causative agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC).
The individuals from the Yuigahama-chusei-shudan-bochi site (Seika-ichiba location) in Kamakura City, exhibited a younger age-at-death distribution than other skeletal series. It is inferred from the present and precedent data that population concentration in Kamakura impacted negatively on the lives of the inhabitants.
The frequencies of enamel hypoplasia (EH) in samurai class, commoners, and rural populations were examined. The frequencies of EH of samurai were higher than those of the other populations. This result indicated that the health condition of samurai class in the Edo period was not necessary good compared to other people in the hierarchy.
