Abstract
Chapter 4 describes the state of health of Kamarina from the perspective of science. It begins with a description of how indicators of disease are detected in the archaeological record. This introductory section is followed by a discussion of the Kamarinean plague (ca. 405 BCE) and evidence supporting its authenticity. Succeeding sections detail the various pathological conditions present in the Passo Marinaro sample and their cultural implications. For each pathological condition, the True and Crude Prevalence Rates of the Passo Marinaro sample are compared to those of various diachronic Mediterranean populations. Comparisons are also drawn between the adults and subadults of the Passo Marinaro sample to determine whether age-related health disparities exist.
