Deliberate incidents or unexpected accidents? Osteoarchaeological study of skeletal trauma in early medieval Ireland

Today, skeletal injuries are presumably the most studied pathological conditions in archaeological samples, and are one of the most reliable indicators of the quality of life of archaeological populations. In order to determine the frequency, distribution and patterning of skeletal trauma in early medieval Ireland, and to see which of the observed injuries might be attributed to intentional violence, a population-based study including five sites (Ardsallagh 1, Augherskea, Claristown 2, Collierstown 1, and Omey Island) dated between the 5th and the 10th centuries AD was conducted. The results are reported with regards to sex, age, side and the location of the observed trauma. Additionally, ante- and peri-mortem skeletal injuries were distinguished. The total analysed sample comprised 300 individuals (220 adults and 80 subadults) and traumatic lesions were recorded in less than 1% of all studied skeletons. The majority of the observed injuries represent ante-mortem, well healed fractures mostly located on long bones, crania and ribs - most of these probably occurred due to accidents associated with a rural lifestyle. Nevertheless, three adult males from Augherskea exhibit injuries associated with deliberate interpersonal violence. In all three cases, peri-mortem cuts caused by a sharp-bladed weapon (sword) are present in the region of the head and neck, indicating decapitation. The results obtained by this study are compared to similar studies from Ireland and the UK, but are also discussed through the use of written sources that provide additional proof for intentional violence in early medieval Ireland.
