From the Womb to the Tomb: Identifying Calving Deaths in Archaeology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dystocia, or difficult birth, is a major cause of maternal and neonatal mortality in both human and animal populations, yet its archaeological visibility remains remarkably low. This paper explores the diagnostic potential of archaeological deposits of pregnant livestock, particularly cattle, to identify cases of calving‐related mortality.
