Dental health status changes during the Neolithisation in Syria: a diachronic perspective (9,820-6,000 cal. BC)

Dental health status changes during the Neolithisation in Syria: a diachronic perspective (9,820-6,000 cal. BC)

Abstract. The Neolithisation of the Near-East is a key period in the history of humanity, when huge changes occurred in subsistence economy, triggered by agriculture and animal husbandry. Other changes in lifestyle were generated by sedentarization and by the invention of pottery as a container. The...

The Neolithisation of the Near-East is a key period in the history of humanity, when huge changes occurred in subsistence economy, triggered by agriculture and animal husbandry.

The aim of this study is to see if these changes in Neolithic populations are reflected in oral health status, focusing on the most relevant markers. The 312 skeletons from seven Syrian sites (Tell Qaramel, Cheikh Hassan, Dja’de el-Mughara, Tell Aswad, Abu Hureyra, Tell Mureybet and Tell Ain el-Kerkh) were systematically examined for evidence of four pathological lesions—dental caries, abscesses, ante-mortem tooth loss and periodontal disease. Data were grouped by period to determine the impact of Neolithisation in a diachronic perspective. Results reveal that changes in oral health were not linear and that the adoption of agriculture and methods of food preparation were important factors influencing health status. Résumé. La Néolithisation au Proche-Orient est une période phare de l’histoire de l’humanité : c’est en effet au cours de cette phase qu’interviennent de grands changements dans l’économie de subsistance, apportés par l’invention de l’agriculture et de l’élevage. D’autres changements dans le mode de vie sont également engendrés par la sédentarisation et, en dernier lieu, par l’invention de la céramique. L’objectif de cette étude est de voir si les bouleversements que connaissent les populations néolithiques s’observent dans l’état sanitaire bucco-dentaire, en se focalisant sur les marqueurs les plus pertinents. Les 312 individus, provenant de sept sites syriens (Tell Qaramel, Cheikh Hassan, Dja’de el-Mughara, Tell Aswad, Abu Hureyra, Tell Mureybet et Tell Ain el-Kerkh) ont donc été étudiés de façon systématique à la recherche de caries, d’abcès, de dents perdues ante-mortem et de maladie parodontale, et ces individus ont été regroupés par périodes afin de mesurer l’impact de la Néolithisation dans une étude diachronique. Ce travail a permis de mettre en évidence que les changements intervenus dans l’état de santé dentaire sont loin d’être linéaires ; il semblerait également que l’invention de l’agriculture et le mode de préparation des aliments aient joué un rôle important dans l’évolution de l’état de santé bucco-dentaire.
