Abstract
A escavação arqueológica de salvaguarda realizada em 2008 no Largo da Igreja de Sarilhos Grandes originou um projeto de investigação interdisciplinar que visa o estudo da sua população desde época Medieval. Este trabalho pretende discutir a análise paleobiológica da coleção osteológica humana escavada em 2008. Foi estimado um número mínimo de 24 indivíduos entre o total de 21 enterramentos mal preservados, 5 ossários e restantes ossos desarticulados. De entre as lesões identificadas (e.g., cáries, tártaro, osteomas, nódulo de Schmorl, osteoartrose), várias parecem indiciar deficiências nutricionais, principalmente nos indivíduos mais jovens. Uma nova intervenção arqueológica está já programada para o local de forma a serem aprofundadas várias questões e abertas novas perspetivas sobre a população de Sarilhos Grandes.
The archaeological excavation carried out in 2008 at the Largo da Igreja of Sarilhos Grandes triggered an interdisciplinary research project aiming to study its population since the medieval period. This work aims to discuss the paleobiological analysis of the human osteological remains excavated in 2008. A minimum number of 24 individuals were estimated out of 21 poorly preserved skeletons, five ossuaries and other disarticulated bones. Several pathologies were identified (e.g., caries, calculus, osteomas, Schmorl nodules, osteoarthrosis) with special focus on lesions possibly associated with nutritional stress in younger individuals. A new archaeological excavation is programmed aiming to better understand several issues and open new perspectives about the population of Sarilhos Grandes.
