Dear Frank,

for the population found in the Linear Pottery culture (LBK) enclosure of  Herxheim Alisa Hujić concludes in her Master thesis (p.122 ) that there were in general no severe signs of malnutrition or deficiency diseases:

"Definitiv kann jedoch gesagt werden, dass die Befunde aus Herxheim nicht mit der Hypothese einer starken kulturellen Krise, die zum Zusammenbruch der LBK geführt hat, in Einklang zu bringen sind. Weder der Gesundheitszustand der dort niedergelegten Individuen noch archäologische Befunde zeigen Hinweise auf Krieg oder ökonomische Depression."

The persons of the LBK grave pit from Talheim showed only "moderate evidence for malnutrition (enamal hypoplasia, cribra orbitalia), degenerative changes and comparatively little caries" (Wahl & Trautmann , 82).

Dear Frank

Lukacs has some works published in different articles on Localized Hypoplasia of Primary Canines (LHPC) as indicator of Physiological stress. If you can't find his articles, send me your email via message and I'll get those for you.

You can also try and dig something at the siet for the Global History of Health Project:

Cohen and Armelagos's "Paleopathology at the origins of Agricuture" is not new, but it is good.

Best,

Claudia

Dear Claudia, dear Stefan,

Thank you very much for your answers!

Dear Frank,

Also regarding enamel hypoplasia, there are some published case-studies from the late pre-history of Europe available online. Please check the links for some examples.

Best,

Tiago
