Abstract

Objective

To investigate diachonic and regional trends in the occurrence of pathologies in cattle in the Iron Age and Roman Netherlands. A key objective is to investigate whether the intensification of cattle husbandry in the Roman period was associated with an increase in pathology.

Materials

The data set consists of 167 sites with a combined total of 127,373 individual specimens for cattle, sheep/goat, horse, and pig.

Methods

A quantitative approach was used, investigating the frequency of pathologies over time and per region. For cattle, pathology frequencies were also investigated per type. Several multi-period sites were considered in more detail.

Results

Pathology frequencies increased during the Iron Age and Roman period. In cattle, joint pathology was most common, followed by dental pathology.

Conclusions

The overall frequency of pathology aligns with frequencies in other regions. Some pathological conditions in cattle can tentatively be linked to intensification, such as joint pathology at two sites in the Middle and Late Roman periods, an increase in dental pathology and trauma).

Significance

This review revealed diachronic trends and linked them to developments in animal husbandry and highlights the importance of recording and publishing pathological lesions.

Limitations

The multi-causal origin of joint and dental pathology makes it difficult to relate them to the intensification of cattle husbandry.

Suggestions for further research

It is hoped that this review will stimulate further paleopathological research globally, especially systematic studies into foot pathologies.

铁器时代和罗马尼德兰的牛的健康状况
目的探讨铁器时代和罗马尼德兰时期牛病发生的历时性和区域性趋势。一个关键的目标是调查罗马时期畜牧业的加强是否与病理的增加有关。数据集由167个站点组成,总共有127,373个牛、羊、马和猪的个体标本。方法采用定量方法,调查不同时间和不同区域的病理发生频率。对于牛,每种类型的病理频率也进行了调查。更详细地考虑了几个多时期遗址。结果在铁器时代和罗马时期,病理频率增加。在牛中,关节病理是最常见的,其次是牙齿病理。结论:病理的总体频率与其他区域的频率一致。牛的一些病理状况可以暂时与强化联系起来,例如罗马中后期两个部位的关节病理,牙齿病理和创伤的增加)。这篇综述揭示了历时性的趋势,并将它们与畜牧业的发展联系起来,强调了记录和发表病理病变的重要性。限制关节和牙齿病理的多原因起源使得很难将它们与畜牧业的强化联系起来。希望本文的综述能够促进全球范围内对古病理学的进一步研究,特别是对足部病理学的系统研究。

期刊介绍: Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.
