Abstract

This is a preliminary palaeopathology study of a sample of human skeletal remains from the first research field season at the Jaboticabeira II shellmound, in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Internationally accepted methods were used to obtain information about their demography, health status, and way of life. The absence of caries, high infection rates and low arthritis prevalence were some of our findings.
