ABSTRACT The study of trauma in non-adults (<18 years) from archaeological assemblages is relatively recent, partly because immature bones present distinct injury patterns, while rapid healing and remodelling can erase macroscopic evidence. However, non-adult trauma provides information about age-related differences in risk, and the lifestyles and social roles of immature individuals. This study recorded possible fractures in 135 non-adults from a churchyard and a church assemblage from medieval and post-medieval Flanders, to evaluate the presence of fractures and analyse type, prevalence, age distribution, and socio-economic differences. Eighteen individuals presented lesions, including typical non-adult injuries. Prevalence was generally low , but some trends emerged. The churchyard had a higher prevalence, and these individuals likely had a lower social background compared to the church, suggesting socio-economic differences. In the churchyard assemblage older non-adults showed an increased prevalence, possibly related to occupational risks since many children and particularly adolescents, worked as servants, labourers, or apprentices.

晚期和后中世纪佛兰德的非成人骨折模式，墓地和教堂组合的比较

摘要 考古组合对非成人（<18 岁）创伤的研究相对较新，部分原因是未成熟的骨骼呈现出不同的损伤模式，而快速愈合和重塑可以消除宏观证据。然而，非成人创伤提供了有关年龄相关风险差异以及未成熟个体的生活方式和社会角色的信息。该研究记录了来自中世纪和后中世纪佛兰德斯的教堂墓地和教堂组合的 135 名非成年人可能发生的骨折，以评估骨折的存在并分析类型、患病率、年龄分布和社会经济差异。18 个人出现病变，包括典型的非成人损伤。流行率普遍较低，但出现了一些趋势。墓地的流行率较高，与教会相比，这些人的社会背景可能较低，这表明社会经济存在差异。在墓地中，年龄较大的非成年人的患病率增加，这可能与职业风险有关，因为许多儿童，尤其是青少年，担任仆人、工人或学徒。
