Laodikeia populasyonun diş ve çenelerinin paleopatolojik açıdan incelenmesi
Özet
Laodikeia necropolis scatters to a large area around the ancient city. These are sepulchers that reflect the life processes generally from Helenic period to the Early Byzantine period. Especially, isolated and gender-identified 1341 teeth, 1223 permanent and 118 temporary, that belong to 115 individuals and obtained from the town which had a high population and prospered during the Roman periyod were pathologically examined for dental wear using Brothwell (1981) and Bouville (1983) for tooth decay, abscess, periodontal diseases, antemortem tooth loss, hipoplazi lesions according to Brothwell (1981) scale.In Laodikeia population, it was found that tooth and chin decay (2,62 %), abcess (3,80 %), calculus (31,23 %), antemortem tooth loss (7,78 %), hipoplazi (11,36%), alveolus loss (% 50,61) and most common erosion were 4 degrees (34,6%).The fertile land of the Laodikeia plane and the convenient climate are the main factors for the availability of various foods (grape, pomegranate, fig, olive, etc.) and the prevalence of animal husbandry (sheep, goat, cattle, rooster, hen, sea animals, etc.). Related to its interactions with other cultures due to its location and trade relations, it is thought that there were knowledge of obtaining and cooking various foodstuffs.
