The article provides a bioarchaeological perspective on the dietary practices of the Late Bronze Age Southern Ural communities, which once inhabited the steppe and forest-steppe zones of modern Bashkiria (Russia), via studying the pathological dental conditions and aspects of dental tooth use in skeletal remains from four kurgan cemeteries. As children and adolescents constitute the majority of the skeletal remains, the focus is on non-adult dentition. The cemeteries were used by Srubnaya and Srubnaya-Alakul communities that are believed to have been settled pastoralists. Despite the absence of convincing archaeological evidence, the existence of secondary-role agriculture in these communities has not been ruled out. The studied sample includes 38 non-adults (<18 years of age). The dental attributes studied were linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), caries, dental calculus, dental wear, and antemortem enamel chipping. In total, the sample showed no cases of caries, a very high frequency of dental calculus, and a frequency of enamel chips that increased with age. The rate of dental wear seems to be mild, though there is a need for comparative data on non-adults. The frequency of LEH was relatively low and the defects peaked at about 2–4 years of age. Basically, the Bashkirian Late Bronze Age (LBA) non-adult sample fits well into the larger picture of the Bronze Age pastoralists from the Volga-Ural and Trans-Ural steppes. Given the archaeological evidence and the prevalence of the studied dental characteristics, the data are consistent with a society primarily reliant on meat and milk products.

探索青铜时代晚期南乌拉尔非成人的饮食习惯:从牙齿属性看

文章通过研究病理性牙齿状况和牙齿在骨骼中的使用方面,从生物考古学角度对曾经居住在现代巴什基里亚(俄罗斯)草原和森林草原地区的青铜时代晚期南乌拉尔社区的饮食习惯进行了分析。四个库尔干墓地的遗骸。由于儿童和青少年构成了骨骼残骸的大部分,因此重点是非成人牙列。这些墓地被 Srubnaya 和 Srubnaya-Alakul 社区使用,据信这些社区是定居的牧民。尽管缺乏令人信服的考古证据,但并未排除这些社区存在次要农业。研究样本包括 38 名非成人(<18 岁)。研究的牙齿属性是线性牙釉质发育不全(LEH),龋齿、牙结石、牙齿磨损和生前牙釉质碎裂。总体而言,样本显示没有龋齿,牙结石的频率非常高,牙釉质碎片的频率随着年龄的增长而增加。牙齿磨损率似乎是温和的,尽管需要非成人的比较数据。LEH 的频率相对较低,缺陷在 2-4 岁左右达到峰值。基本上,巴什基尔晚期青铜时代 (LBA) 的非成人样本非常适合来自伏尔加-乌拉尔和外乌拉尔草原的青铜时代牧民的更大图景。鉴于考古证据和所研究牙齿特征的普遍性,这些数据与主要依赖肉类和奶制品的社会一致。样本显示没有龋齿,牙结石的频率非常高,牙釉质碎片的频率随着年龄的增长而增加。牙齿磨损率似乎是温和的,尽管需要非成人的比较数据。LEH 的频率相对较低,缺陷在 2-4 岁左右达到峰值。基本上,巴什基尔晚期青铜时代 (LBA) 的非成人样本非常适合来自伏尔加-乌拉尔和外乌拉尔草原的青铜时代牧民的更大图景。鉴于考古证据和所研究牙齿特征的普遍性,这些数据与主要依赖肉类和奶制品的社会一致。样本显示没有龋齿,牙结石的频率非常高,牙釉质碎片的频率随着年龄的增长而增加。牙齿磨损率似乎是温和的,尽管需要非成人的比较数据。LEH 的频率相对较低,缺陷在 2-4 岁左右达到峰值。基本上,巴什基尔晚期青铜时代 (LBA) 的非成人样本非常适合来自伏尔加-乌拉尔和外乌拉尔草原的青铜时代牧民的更大图景。鉴于考古证据和所研究牙齿特征的普遍性,这些数据与主要依赖肉类和奶制品的社会一致。尽管需要非成人的比较数据。LEH 的频率相对较低,缺陷在 2-4 岁左右达到峰值。基本上,巴什基尔晚期青铜时代 (LBA) 的非成人样本非常适合来自伏尔加-乌拉尔和外乌拉尔草原的青铜时代牧民的更大图景。鉴于考古证据和所研究牙齿特征的普遍性,这些数据与主要依赖肉类和奶制品的社会一致。尽管需要非成人的比较数据。LEH 的频率相对较低,缺陷在 2-4 岁左右达到峰值。基本上,巴什基尔晚期青铜时代 (LBA) 的非成人样本非常适合来自伏尔加-乌拉尔和外乌拉尔草原的青铜时代牧民的更大图景。鉴于考古证据和所研究牙齿特征的普遍性,这些数据与主要依赖肉类和奶制品的社会一致。
