Abstract

Auditory ossicles were collected from two skeletal materials from early medieval Denmark. A total of 147 and 1,162 ossicles were obtained from the 2 materials, constituting 23% and 55% of the possible in vivo ossicles. The numbers and percentages found are among the highest reported from studies of archaeological skeletal material. Archaeological ossicles may be used in palaeopathological evaluation of chronic otitis media and otosclerosis, and morphometric studies of the ossicles might be valuable in analysis of population genetics and taxonomy.

摘要

听小骨取自中世纪早期丹麦的两份骨骼材料。从这两份材料中分别获得了147块和1162块听小骨，分别占活体听小骨可能数量的23%和55%。所发现的数量和比例在考古骨骼材料研究报告中处于较高水平。考古听小骨可用于慢性中耳炎和耳硬化症的古病理学评估，听小骨的形态测量研究可能对群体遗传学和分类学分析有价值。
