A paleoepidemiological approach to the osteological paradox: Investigating stress, frailty and resilience through cribra orbitalia [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020 AbstractObjectivesThe Osteological Paradox posits that skeletal lesions may differentially be interpreted as representing resilience or frailty. However, specific consideration of the etiologies and demographic distributions of individual skeletal indicators can inform the criteria on which to differentiate stress, frailty, and resilience.
