总结
人类遗骸形成了一个独立的数据集，可以用来检查过去社会的军事活动，特别是如何了解所使用的武器类型以及谁遭受了致命暴力。在多塞特铁器时代晚期（公元前一世纪至公元一世纪），这些数据有助于根据少量的现存证据来理解此类活动。
这项生物考古学研究使用法医、生物考古学和临床标准检查了 80 名被埋葬且有关节的性别成年人的头盖骨，以确定是否可以观察到尖锐和钝弹丸的骨学证据。样本显示了围死期和生前创伤的证据，其中大部分伤害是在死亡时遭受的；大多数受影响的男性是由钝性射弹引起的。两性均观察到伤口愈合，但只有女性有重塑钝弹损伤的证据。受影响的年龄组主要是年轻人和中年人，这表明武器训练很早就开始了。
Summary
Human remains form an independent dataset with which to examine martial activity in past societies, particularly how to understand the types of weaponry used and who was subject to lethal violence. In the Late Iron Age of Dorset (first century BC to first century AD), these data are useful in understanding such activity in light of the small range of extant evidence.
This bioarchaeological study examined the crania of 80 inhumed and articulated sexed adults, using forensic, bioarchaeological and clinical criteria to determine whether osteological evidence for sharp and blunt projectiles could be observed. The sample showed evidence for peri- and ante-mortem traumas, with the majority of injuries sustained at the time of death; most affected males and were caused by blunt projectiles. Healed injuries were observed in both sexes but only females had evidence for remodelled blunt projectile injuries. The age-groups affected were predominantly young and middle-aged adults, suggesting that weapon training began early in life.
