The effects of the Little Ice Age on oral health and diet in populations from continental Croatia
This study aims to investigate possible differences in oral health and dietary habits caused by climatic changes brought by the Little Ice Age in late medieval and early modern inhabitants of continental Croatia. The analyzed osteological material consists of two composite samples: the first (end 13th – beginning 16th century CE) is comprised of 350 adult individuals from six sites while the second (beginning 16th – beginning 19th century CE) is comprised of 450 skeletons from seven sites. In order to assess the previously mentioned changes the following dento-alveolar pathologies were analyzed: caries, ante-mortem tooth loss, abscesses, calculus, alveolar bone resorption and tooth wear. The preliminary results suggest that there are no significant differences in oral health patterns and subsistence strategies in continental Croatia before and during the Little Ice Age. Additionally, it seems that the observed differences cannot be solely associated with the occurrence of the Little Ice Age in Europe, but could be also connected to political and social processes related to the endemic warfare that was present in Croatia between the 16th and 18th centuries due to constant Ottoman intrusions.
