Abstract

This chapter seeks to understand how skeletal markers of systemic stress, especially those indicating childhood exposure to external or internal non-specific physiological disruptions, may have influenced longer-term growth and mortality in late prehistoric Maluku Utara. It explores the presence, severity, and distribution of pathology within the studied samples, focusing on systemic stress indicators. It discusses whether we can infer longer-term health outcomes in these populations.
