Burials at a gravesite in Shirak Valley (Armenia): A biological and social approach

A comparative paleopathological study was conducted in order to discern the general health and way of life of these populations. All the skeletal remains are dated to late antiquity (213 individuals in total, from 6 osteoarchaeological series in the Shirak valley). The study of bone lesions indicat...
