An initial report on health and disease at Non Ban Jak
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Over the past 15-20 years there has been a burgeoning of bioarchaeological studies on health and disease in Southeast Asia and particularly in Northeast Thailand. This research has helped to characterise the demography, diet and health and disease, mostly in the periods leading up to the Iron Age. Many of these studies have focused on addressing health change during and after the adoption of agriculture in the region. Unlike other parts of the world, Southeast Asia does not show the characteristic health deterioration during the period of the adoption of agriculture which has been linked to a retention of a broadspectrum diet and high wild food biodiversity mitigating the effects of a reliance of a single staple crop seen in other parts of the world (eg. Newton et al. 2013; Domett and Tayles 2007, 2006; Tayles et al. 2009; Tayles et al. 2000; Halcrow et al. 2016; King et al. 2017).
