地位、性别和死亡率之间的各种关系是复杂的，历史上产生的现象以具有社会意义的方式塑造了人们的生活和死亡。古人口学分析加上对特定地点背景的敏锐敏感性，有可能使我们对过去的这些经历有更深入的了解。在考虑了移民和生育对埋葬在约克郡Fishergate St. Andrew的Gilbertine Priory的成年个体的年龄-死亡概况（n = 200）的潜在影响后，我们断言，这些概况主要揭示了中世纪背景下地位、性别和死亡率之间预期和意外的关系。总的来说，与其他复合和性别地位群体相比，宗教地位男性的寿命较长，这表明他们经历了相对舒适的生活，尽管定期抱怨贫困。假设的高地位男性的人口优势在分析中没有实现，对骨骼证据的重新评估表明，近20%的这些人死于暴力。出乎意料的是，中等地位女性的死亡率与宗教地位男性相似，并且在人口统计学上比所有其他世俗地位群体都有优势。与地位中等的女性相比，地位较低的女性在圣安德鲁医院的平均寿命最短。这种模式与他们无法获得重要的社会和经济资源密切相关，并进一步证明了他们在约克郡的雇佣劳动经济中被边缘化。总的来说，这些关系表明，关于中世纪地位和死亡率的传统、高度分层和性别化的概念不足以理解圣安德鲁医院日常生活和死亡的复杂性。[J] .物理学报，2003。©2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc。
The varied relationships among status, gender, and mortality are complex, historically produced phenomena that shape people's lives and deaths in socially meaningful ways. Paleodemographic analysis coupled with acute sensitivity to site‐specific context has the potential to move us toward a greater understanding of these experiences in the past. After considering the potential effects of migration and fertility on the age‐at‐death profiles of adult individuals interred at the Gilbertine Priory of St. Andrew, Fishergate, York (n = 200), it is asserted that these profiles primarily reveal expected and unexpected relationships among status, gender, and mortality in this Medieval context. Collectively, the long lives of religious‐status males compared to other composite and gendered status groups suggest that they experienced a relatively comfortable existence despite periodic complaints of destitution. The postulated demographic advantage of high‐status males did not materialize in the analysis, and a reevaluation of the skeletal evidence indicates that nearly 20% of these individuals died violently. Unexpectedly, moderate‐status females shared a mortality profile similar to that of religious‐status males and retained a demographic advantage over all other secular status groups. In contrast to the experiences of moderate‐status females, low‐status females had, on average, the shortest lives at St. Andrew's. This pattern is intimately linked to their restriction from crucial social and economic resources, and provides further evidence of their marginalization in York's wage‐labor economy. Overall, these relationships suggest that traditional, highly stratified and gendered notions of Medieval status and mortality are not adequate for understanding the intricacies of everyday life and death at St. Andrew's.
