Changes in Suid and Caprine Husbandry Practices Throughout Dynastic Egypt Using Linear Enamel Hypoplasia (LEH)
Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) is the most commonly identified form of enamel defect in teeth. Defined as a deficiency in enamel thickness encountered during dental development, LEH can occur as horizontal lines or depressions of irregular enamel, or clusters of pitting on the enamel surface. These …

Age-at-Formation and Duration of Linear Enamel Hypoplasia and Accentuated (Pathological) Striae in Ancient, Modern, and Forensic Populations as an Indicator of Differential Developmental Stress
… differences in age-at-formation and duration of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and accentuated striae (AS) in the mandibular canines of pre-Hispanic Maya individuals from Belize, migrants who died crossing the Texas-Mexico border, and modern American individuals from the Texas State Donated …

Pastoralism, Agriculture, and Stress: A Comparative Analysis of Two 19th Century Qing Dynasty Populations
… of porotic hyperostosis, cribra orbitalia, and linear enamel hypoplasia were assessed macroscopically. Results show that in all pathological conditions except cribra orbitalia, stress indicators were significantly more frequent in the agriculturalist Karluk sample than in the pastoralist Urga …

A comparative analysis of human skeletal remains from Parowan Fremont, Virgin Anasazi, and Kayenta Anasazi archaeological sites
… the prevalence of periostitis, osteitis, and linear enamel hypoplasia was found to be highest among Virgin Anasazi individuals. Two other pathologies, porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia, were most common among the Kayenta sample and least among the Parowan Fremont sample; From …

Exploring a Biocultural Model of Resiliency in the lower Illinois River Valley from Middle to Late Woodland Periods
… for the nonspecific stress indicators of linear enamel hypoplasia, tibial periostosis, and changes to average stature. Both adult and non-adult Middle and Late Woodland burial contexts from the Elizabeth site were also examined in terms of burial posture and grave good inclusion. …

Nutrition at Tipu: A Comparative Analysis of Juvenile Health in Maya Populations
… examined juvenile health through four markers: Linear Enamel Hypoplasia (LEH), a non-specific marker of health disruptions; Porotic Hyperostosis (PH), an indicator of anemia; and Periostitis, an indicator of infection. Some 131 individuals were evaluated using criteria developed by Steckel, …

Plague mortality and medieval demography: an osteological analysis of Black Death mass graves and attritional cemeteries from 7-16th century England and Wales
… Those aged 15-24 years, and those with linear enamel hypoplasia present, were substantially over-represented within the mass graves — suggesting these groups were particularly vulnerable to plague mortality. Socioeconomic and environmental factors may have increased their mortality risk. …

Bringing Childhood Health into Focus: Incorporating Survivors into Standard Methods of Investigation
… childhood. Long bone and vertebral canal growth, linear enamel hypoplasia, cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, scurvy indicators and periosteal bone reactions were assessed for both groups. Overall, long bone growth generates the same interpretation of health for both non-survivors and …

Paleopathology at the Shady Grove Site (22QU525): A Study of Health in the Upper Yazoo Basin During the Middle Mississippian Period
… indicators of stress including stature, linear enamel hypoplasias, anemia, and periosteal reactions. Levels of specific infection such as treponemal disease, tuberculosis, and osteomyelitis were also investigated. Analysis by bone element was conducted, and long bone minimum number of …

Infection and Complexity Embodied on Enamel: Oral Health and Dental Pathology at Ancón, Peru
… periapical lesions consistent with abscessing, linear enamel hypoplasia, and antemortem tooth loss, while explicitly accounting for preservation limits, heavy wear, and missing dentition that affect visibility. To move beyond simple claims that maize was present, calculus samples were analyzed …
