Death in the Ottoman Empire: A multimethod bioarchaeological analysis of a Muslim necropolis discovered in Constanta, Romania

该项目将对罗马尼亚奥斯曼帝国墓地（公元18 -19年）的314座坟墓进行首次分析。广泛的骨学分析将建立人口统计概况（按性别和年龄组分布，出生时预期寿命），人口变化（计量和非计量特征），病理，活动模式（生物力学应力），饮食和流动性（同位素分析）。这些数据将与安纳托利亚的穆斯林墓地进行比较，以描述奥斯曼帝国衰落期间一个边缘社区的生活方式，揭示这段充满斗争和暴力冲突的未被探索的历史。

This project will undertake the first analysis of c. 314 graves from a Romanian Ottoman cemetery (18th-19th CE). Extensive osteological analysis will establish the demographic profile (distribution by sex and age groups, life expectancy at birth), population variation (metric and non-metric characteristics), pathologies, activity patterns (biomechanical stress), diet and mobility (isotope analysis). The data will be compared with Muslim cemeteries from Anatolia to describe the lifeways of a marginal community within the Ottoman Empire during its fall, revealing an unexplored part of the history brimming with struggle and violent contestation.
