Social Status and Its Relationship to Non-specific Stress at Late Iron Age Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand

Abstract: The rise of social inequality is a key development in human history and is linked to deteriorating health. These associated health impacts are poorly understood for Iron Age (420 B.C.–A.D. 500) northeast Thailand. To clarify this issue we investigate whether social status differences influence non-specific stress at the site of Non Ban Jak (A.D. 300–800), which comprises two separate burial mounds. These mounds are thought to represent the neighborhoods of two distinct social groups at the site. Quantitative a… Show more

“…Nevertheless, these were discounted from the overall results. As such, the findings from this study suggests not only that the prevalence of LEH at Non Ban Jak was extremely high (97.92%), but that the proportion of individuals with LEH was higher than the 32/38 (84.2%) previously reported in a macroscopic analysis of LEH at Non Ban Jak (Ward et al, 2020). When comparing macroscopic and microscopic studies of LEH, it is not unusual for the latter both to identify LEH on most individuals that are assessed as well as to identify more instances of LEH in general (Cares Henriquez & Oxenham, 2017;Hassett, 2014;T.…”

“…As noted in the Introduction, this is the first large scale microscopic approach to the identification and analysis of LEH in Southeast Asia to date. As these are the first such data generated for the region, excluding basic frequency and prevalence results, they are not comparable to traditional macroscopic studies of LEH (K. M. Domett & O'Reilly, 2009;Douglas, 1996;Oxenham, 2006;Ward et al, 2020). Until more microscopically generated data are available both regionally and globally, for that matter, inter-site and multi-period comparisons are effectively on hold.…”

“…Care may have been differentially resourced across communities, as it is today. Though outside of the scope of the research presented here, high‐resolution studies of individual sites incorporating indicators of status, diet, disease, and healthcare (e.g., Ward et al, 2019) along with the maternal mortality estimator will serve to provide a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay of variables that influence stature and maternal risk.…”
