萨莫奈人(Samnites)是铁器时代的一个史前民族,来自意大利中部地区。骨骼遗骸来自公元前6世纪至5世纪的Alfedena墓地。Macchiarelli等人(Antropologia Contemporanea 4(1981)239-243)是第一个报道该人群颅骨创伤的人,提出了4例严重损伤的病例。我们重新检查了这个有据可查的骨骼人口,以寻找其他创伤的例子。在20世纪之交挖掘出的阿尔费德纳以前未经检查的遗骸也包括在我们的分析中(马里亚尼。1901.“Aufidena”,ricerche archeologiche e storiche del Sannio settentrionale. Roma:Acc Naz Dei Lincei).在209例成人颅骨检查中,12.9%的人表现出创伤。对颅骨创伤的位置和频率的分析显示,头部的颅骨损伤似乎来自各个方向。颅骨创伤的高发生率强调了意大利中部铁器时代史前时期所经历的暴力环境。男性比女性更容易出现颅脑损伤(P = 0.009)。我们的结论是,萨姆奈特男性农民战士的受伤发生在捍卫畜牧农业资源。创伤率在铁器时代的一些人群中相似,而在其他人群中则不同。铁器时代与暴力有关的行为并不能普遍适用于意大利的所有人口。
The Samnites are an Iron Age protohistoric people from the central region of Italy. The skeletal remains are from the Alfedena necropolis, 6th through 5th centuries B.C. Macchiarelli et al. (Antropologia Contemporanea 4 (1981) 239-243) were the first to report on cranial trauma for this population, presenting four cases with extreme injuries. We re-examined this well documented skeletal population for additional examples of trauma. Previously unexamined remains from Alfedena, excavated at the turn of the 20th century, are also included in our analysis (Mariani. 1901. "Aufidena", ricerche archeologiche e storiche del Sannio settentrionale. Roma: Acc Naz Dei Lincei). Of the 209 adult crania examined, 12.9% of them exhibited trauma. Analysis of location and frequency of cranial trauma revealed that cranial injuries to the head appear to originate from all directions. The high rate of cranial trauma underscores the violent circumstances experienced during the Iron Age protohistoric period of central Italy. Males are much more likely to exhibit cranial injury than females (P = 0.009). We conclude that the injuries received by Samnite male farmer-warriors occurred while defending pastoral-agricultural resources. Trauma rates are similar for some Iron Age populations and not for others. Behavior associated with violence during the Iron Age period can not be generalized for all populations found in Italy.
