REDCASTLE FURZE- THE HUMAN BONE

Author(s): G Stroud

A minimum number of 11 individuals recovered from discrete burials and miscellaneous bone from Redcastle Furze were examined. Poor preservation meant that information was limited, with ageing only possible for subadults, and sexing virtually impossible. Dental pathology was limited to severe enamel hypoplasia in one individual, while skeletal pathology consisted of degenerative changes to the spine, a fractured spinous process and spondylolysis, all in the same individual, and a case of periosteal new bone on the lower leg bones of a second individual.
