Excavation carried out at the cemetery of Vetricella and dated between the 10th-11th centuries CE, has returned a high percentage of traumatized individuals, including two polytraumatized male skeletons, one featuring a well-healed amputation of the right leg, the other a mended femoral diaphysis fracture. Evidence of a healed amputation, the result of surgical work or interpersonal violence, is a rare case in the archaeological record.

The focus of this study is the nature of the recorded trauma, leading to observations on the effects of equestrian practice in an early medieval community, as well as survival and physical adaptation to new conditions, all of which have ultimately contributed towards the general interpretation of the archaeological context.

Images from CT scanning, external diameters and the degree of osteoarthrosis were used to quantify asymmetry between the left and right skeletal elements, providing further evidence of post-traumatic conditions. The recording of an iron spike-ferrule from the same burial area, identified as the lower end of a staff, would provide material indications as to the use of walking aids associated with individuals marked by clear issues of mobility.

在Vetricella公墓进行的挖掘工作可追溯到公元10至11世纪，这已经使受过创伤的人返回了很高的比例，其中包括两具多创伤性的男性骨骼，一个骨骼的右腿截肢愈合良好，另一个骨骼是经修复的股骨。骨干骨折。考古记录中很少见到因外科手术或人际暴力而导致截肢愈合的证据。

这项研究的重点是所记录的创伤的性质，从而导致人们对早期中世纪社区中马术活动的影响以及对新条件的生存和身体适应性进行了观察，所有这些最终都有助于对马术的一般解释。考古背景。

来自CT扫描，外径和骨关节炎程度的图像用于量化左右骨骼元素之间的不对称性，为创伤后状况提供了进一步的证据。记录来自同一埋葬区的铁钉套圈，被标识为职员的下端，这将为与带有明显活动问题的个人相关的助行器的使用提供实质性指示。
