Growth and development. Childhood is a period of physical growth and interruptions in this process are identifiable in skeletal remains. Rapid growth deceleration in early childhood and early growth cessation suggest developmental stress (Xxxx-Xxxxxxx, 1981). Evidence of growth interruption can often provide information on the age at which an individual experienced physiologic stress and the type of disruption which caused the interruption. Growth, both in height and weight is a sensitive indicator of nutritional status in modern populations, although catch up growth following growth retardation can reduce sensitivity when studying adult stature attainment (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2002). In skeletal materials both long bone growth and the deposition of cortical bone can provide information about the growth process and disruptions. Fluctuating asymmetry can provide additional information on physiologic stress during growth based on evidence of stress during development resulting in reduced symmetry (Xxxxxx, 2007). Because teeth are not remodeled evidence of previously experienced stress is retained regardless of the time lapse between the occurrence of physiologic stress and death. The age at which the stress occurred can be estimated as dental formation is well correlated with chronological age. The timing and severity of physiologic stress experiences can be utilized to estimate the magnitude of individual growth disturbances and potential causes. Accentuated striae of Retzius, pronounced incremental growth lines in tooth enamel, and linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH), transverse deficiencies in enamel thickness, both caused by interruption of enamel formation during crown development, provide information on stressed experienced prenatally to seven years of age (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2002). Porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia are among the most prevalent of all pathological lesions found in archaeological populations (Xxxxxx et al., 2009). Porotic hyperostosis, an expansion of the diploe and thinning of the compact bone of the cranium exposing diplodic bone and resulting in a porous appearance of the skull (Xxxxxx- Xxxxxxx, 1989), is thought to be a result of marrow hypertrophy to increase red blood cell production in response to anemia and is commonly observed in archaeological populations. Cribra orbitalia, a similar lesion found within the eye orbit, is thought to result from similar processes likely earlier in development than other forms of porotic hyperostosis (Xxxxxx, 1985; ...
