A Conference on the History of Health and Nutrition in the Western Hemisphere to be held in the Autumn of 1995 in Columbus, Ohio

该项目是为了支持一次会议，该会议旨在出版一本关于西半球健康和营养历史的出版物。该项目通过分析从前哥伦布时代到二十世纪初的骨骼证据，扩展了先前关于健康和营养的研究。由经济学历史学家和体质人类学家组成的16个团队的研究成果将在1995年秋季在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行的会议上公布和讨论。会议成果的发表将对对西半球早期人民的健康、经济和生活方式变化感兴趣的学者和研究人员具有巨大的价值。

This project is to support a conference aimed at producing a publication on the history of health and nutrition in the Western Hemisphere. The project extends previous research on health and nutrition by analyzing skeletal evidence from pre-Columbian times to the early twentieth century. The research findings of sixteen teams consisting of economics historians and physical anthropologists will be presented and discussed at the conference to be held in Columbus, Ohio in the fall of 1995. Publication of the conference findings will be of enormous value to scholars and researchers interested in health, economic, and life-style changes of the early peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
