ABSTRACT P.I. Michael Pietrusewsky/M. Douglas SBR-9321152 Extensive archaeological research among peoples living around the Mediterranean and in prehistoric America has been conducted in an attempt to document the transition to agriculture and its subsequent effects on human health. One very common new hypothesis is that the transition to dependence on one or a few agricultural crops from gathering a large number of wild fruits and vegetables had a number of detrimental effects on the health of early agricultural populations. However, very little attention has been given to these same issues in human populations found living in the unique tropical monsoon enviornment of Southeast Asia, where the domestication and early intensification of rice agriculture is believed to have occurred. It may well be, for example, that dependence on rice, rather than maize, may not have been so detrimental to the health of the population. Through a study of human skeletal remains from northern Thailand, this dissertation research project will address the health status of the ancient inhabitants of this critical comparative area of early agriculture, from the beginnings of rice cultivation through its intensification and population dependence. *** P\anthro\jfried\9321152.abs : s x ! ! !

摘要 P.I. Michael Pietrusewsky/M.道格拉斯SBR-9321152 对生活在地中海周围和史前美洲的民族进行了广泛的考古研究，试图记录向农业的过渡及其对人类健康的影响。 一个非常普遍的新假设是，过渡到依赖一种或几种农作物， 采集大量的野生水果和蔬菜对早期农业人口的健康产生了一些不利影响。 然而，很少有人关注生活在东南亚独特的热带季风环境中的人群中的这些问题，据信那里发生了水稻农业的驯化和早期集约化。 例如，依赖大米而不是玉米对人口健康的危害可能不大。 通过对泰国北方的人类骨骼遗骸的研究，本论文的研究项目将解决这个早期农业的关键比较区域的古代居民的健康状况，从水稻种植的开始，通过其集约化和人口依赖。 [*] P\anthro\jfried\9321152.abs : S X ! ! !
