Discontinuity of life conditions at the transition from the Roman Imperial Age to the Early Middle Ages: example from central Italy evaluated by pathological dento-alveolar lesions

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the dental remains of archeological specimens reveals a deterioration in living standards during the transition from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages. The specimens came from three populations of central Italy, two of which lived during the Roman Empire and one during the Middle Ages. The medieval sample had dental caries and other pathological conditions not seen in the Roman sample.
