Abstract

The author seeks to contribute to the field of frontier studies with bioarchaeological data, in the hopes of understanding how living in relative proximity, but under different sociopolitical organizations, may affect health. The goal of this research is to examine differences in overall health between two groups that have been characterized in the literature as “Romans” and “barbarians.” The research uses skeletal remains to address how the daily life of people under Roman-Byzantine control compared to that of their neighbors, the “barbarians” to the north. Comparing two contemporaneous populations from the territory of modern Romania—and dating from the third to the sixth centuries CE—the study examines health status and traumatic injuries. One collection comes from the territory under Roman-Byzantine control, the site of Ibida (Slava Rusă) from the Roman province of Scythia Minor, and the other originates from the Târgşor site, located to the north of the Danube frontier, in what was considered the “barbaricum.” Separated by a definite frontier, the Danube River, meant to (at least ideologically) segregate them to their divided worlds, these populations might have been more interconnected than the carefully promulgated imperial doctrine would have us believe.

作者试图利用生物考古数据为前沿研究领域做出贡献,希望了解生活在相对接近但在不同社会政治组织下如何影响健康。这项研究的目的是检查在文献中被描述为“罗马人”和“野蛮人”的两个群体之间的整体健康差异。这项研究使用骨骼遗骸来研究罗马-拜占庭统治下的人们的日常生活与他们的邻居——北方的“野蛮人”——的日常生活之间的差异。该研究比较了来自现代罗马尼亚领土的两个同时期的人群——从公元3世纪到6世纪——研究了他们的健康状况和创伤。一个收藏来自罗马-拜占庭控制下的领土,来自罗马小塞西亚省的伊比达遗址(Slava rusei),另一个来自位于多瑙河边境北部的t rg遗址,被认为是“蛮族”。多瑙河被一条明确的边界分隔开来,这条河(至少在意识形态上)将他们隔离在各自分裂的世界里,这些人口可能比精心宣传的帝国主义让我们相信的更紧密地联系在一起。
