NON-SPECIFIC INFECTION IN A LATE CLASSIC URBAN RESIDENCE AT COPAN, HONDURAS

The aim of this research is to examine the distribution and severity of non-specific infection within the elite residential group 8N-11 of Copan, Honduras. Given the evidence of intra-group social ranking within elite Copan lineages, the aim of this study was to examine if social status could affect the distribution and severity of infection within a Copan residential compound. Results of analysis found no differential distribution of non-specific infection in any manner. Although intra-group ranking was evident, it could not be detected via indicators of health.
