Abstract

Bioarchaeologists commonly record porous cranial lesions (PCLs). They have varied etiologies but are frequently associated with nutritional anemia without a differential diagnosis. This article provides a literature review, evaluates diet in the US Southwest over time, and identifies issues with associating PCLs with poor diet in this region. Generally, diet was adequate across time and space. Although maize was a dietary staple, other food items such as rabbits and amaranth provided complementary micronutrients. PCLs exhibit varied morphologies, which generally correspond with age: those characterized by fine, scattered porosity are associated with younger ages at death. Variation in PCL morphology indicates different and sometimes unrelated etiologies. Nutritional anemia is an insufficient explanation for PCL frequency in the Southwest, partly because the diet was adequate across time.

美国西南部饮食与多孔性颅骨病变的关系综述
生物考古学家通常记录多孔性颅骨病变(PCLs)。它们有多种病因,但经常与营养性贫血有关,而没有鉴别诊断。这篇文章提供了一个文献综述,评估饮食在美国西南部随着时间的推移,并确定问题与关联pcl与该地区的不良饮食。总的来说,饮食在时间和空间上都是足够的。虽然玉米是主食,但兔子和苋菜等其他食物也提供补充微量营养素。pcl表现出不同的形态,通常与年龄相对应:具有细小、分散孔隙的pcl与较年轻的死亡年龄有关。PCL形态的变化表明不同的,有时不相关的病因。营养性贫血不能充分解释西南地区PCL发生的频率,部分原因是长期以来的饮食是充足的。
