| Popis | Fracture trauma is a common pathological lesion observed in archaeological skeletal material and represents the accumulation of physically traumatic events in an individuals life. The aim of this study was to document and interpret healed fractures identified in the Slavonic population from Pohansko u Břeclavi 8th to 10th centuries AD. Attention was also focused on differences in types of fracture and fracture rates between populations at Pohansko u Břeclavi from the view of social stratification. Bone fractures were analyzed from 352 adult skeletons. The bones (scapula, clavicula, humerus, ulna, radius, pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula) of each individual were examined for evidence of antemorten fracture. Each bone with macroscopic signs of possible fracture was radiographed in anterio-posterior and medio-lateral projection. The fracture frequency was calculated for the entire bone sample and each bone type. Chi-square tests were used to determine statistically significant variations. |
