Book Chapter
The Center Cannot Hold
2016
Overview
This chapter provides a description of osseous markers of metabolic disturbance experienced by infants and children from two very different types of communities bracketing the second millennium BCE: the urban dwellers at Harappa and rural village dwellers in west central India. Climate, economic, culture, and social changes led to the abandonment of settlements at the end of both of these periods. The chapter characterizes the experience of collapse and resilience in regard to specific health changes for the human populations that chose to remain in these settlements. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Late Jorwe represents a time of significant culture change and subsistence transition. The chapter considers evidence for abnormal porosity in the immature skeletons from Harappa and Inamgaon. The patterning of abnormal porosity and other pathological lesions in immature skeletal remains can suggest the presence of metabolic conditions like scurvy.
