Urbanisation and Child Health in Medieval and Post-Medieval England: An assessment of the morbidity and mortality of non-adult skeletons from the ceme
No Customer Reviews
Focusing on infant skeletal remains from two urban and two rural cemeteries, this study aims to examine the potential impact of urbanisation and, later, industrialisation on past human health in England' between 850 and 1859. Chapters discuss the archaeological and environmental evidence for living conditions in town and country, changing attitudes towards pollution, diet and hygiene, skeletal evidence for disease and comparisons of the growth and mortality of children living in urban and rural conditions. The four sites discussed are Raunds Furnells in Northamptonshire, St Helen-on-the-Walls in York, Wharram Percy in North Yorkshire and Christ Church Spitalfields in London.
