The Birth of Democracy and its Impact on Health and Disease

该项目旨在调查在雅典普通民众生活的古老时期，民主诞生所带来的政治结构变化的影响。对埋葬在菲利昂(雅典)(公元前8-5世纪)墓地中的个人进行历时分析，将有助于调查与城邦形成有关的健康和饮食变化。比较墓地内不同的社会群体(例如，奴隶和公民；男性和女性)将更好地理解这些政治变化对不同人口亚群的跨部门影响。

This project aims to investigate the impact of changes in political structures brought about by the birth of democracy during the Archaic period of the lives of the general population in Athens. A diachronic analysis of individuals buried in the cemetery of Phaleron (Athens) (8th-5th centuries BC) will allow an investigation into changes in health and diet linked to the Polis formation. A comparison of contrasting social groups identified within the cemetery (e.g. 'slaves' vs. citizens; males vs. females) will provide a greater understanding of the inter-sectional effects of these political changes on differing subsections of the population.
