- Abstract/Description
-
Three skeletal samples from the Lu 25, Perry Site, were selected on the basis of Archaeological evidence. These individuals were observed for the presence or absence of seventy-eight cranial and postcranial discrete traits. The frequency of occurrence for each trait was determined for males, females and combined sexes in each sample. These incidences were used as the basis for statistical comparison to determine biological distance. The teeth of the individuals were also analyzed for caries...

These individuals were observed for the presence or absence of seventy-eight cranial and postcranial discrete traits. The frequency of occurrence for each trait was determined for males, females and combined sexes in each sample. These incidences were used as the basis for statistical comparison to determine biological distance. The teeth of the individuals were also analyzed for caries and abcesses. All evidence indicates one evolving populati on from a hunting and gathering to an agricultural economy.

- THE NURSING HOME AGED: A BIOCULTURAL MODEL.
- Creator
- PALMIERI, ELEANORE A., Florida Atlantic University, Sublett, Audrey J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
- Abstract/Description
-
A nursing home population in Lake Worth, Florida was studied in terms of a biocultural model utilizing demographic, biological, environmental, and cultural variables. The aim of this research was to discuss ways by which the geriatric patient is biologically and culturally adapting as well as interacting with his/her environment. This aim was best achieved by a study of past and present disease incidence exhibited by patients in the nursing home sub-culture. Blood samples were drawn and typed...
Show moreA nursing home population in Lake Worth, Florida was studied in terms of a biocultural model utilizing demographic, biological, environmental, and cultural variables. The aim of this research was to discuss ways by which the geriatric patient is biologically and culturally adapting as well as interacting with his/her environment. This aim was best achieved by a study of past and present disease incidence exhibited by patients in the nursing home sub-culture. Blood samples were drawn and typed to test for possible relationships between blood groups and disease. Some types of mental disorders were associated with the patient as an end process of adaptation to the organizational and institutional pressures of the nursing home environment. In this paper, possibilities for further research are suggested which could contribute to an improvement in quality of physical and mental health among geriatric patients in the nursing home sub-culture.

- Title
- OSTEOLOGY OF THE REPUBLIC GROVES SITE (FLORIDA).
- Creator
- SAUNDERS, LORRAINE P., Florida Atlantic University, Sublett, Audrey J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
- Abstract/Description
-
The osteological material from a disturbed Archaic site (Republic Groves) in west central Florida was analyzed, both metrically and non-metrically, in an attempt to describe the population and its interaction with the environment. The dentition provided the best basis for cultural inferences. Correlation among extreme attrition, periodontal disease, and interproximal grooving was suggested. Frequencies for discrete and continuous cranial and infracranial non-metric traits were analyzed,...

The dentition provided the best basis for cultural inferences. Correlation among extreme attrition, periodontal disease, and interproximal grooving was suggested. Frequencies for discrete and continuous cranial and infracranial non-metric traits were analyzed, although a statistical treatment of the data proved impossible. Cranial and infracranial metrics were also reported. Finally, an attempt was made to interrelate Republic Groves archaeological data with interpretations suggested by other authors in reference to cultural and ethnological information.

- Population Perspective in Osteology: A Case Study.
- Creator
- Lane, Rebecca A., Sublett, Audrey J., Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
- Abstract/Description
-
Samples from two Southeastern populations classified as a "Koger's Island type" are re-examined using non-metrical osteological data. A populationist viewpoint is adopted and the data is analyzed statistically. This paper;diecusses the method and some problems inherent in its utilization. It is concluded that the two samples do not belong to the same breeding population. Anthropological implications of the method are briefly discussed.
