A minimum of 21 individuals have been recovered since 2008. Through the study of these skeletal elements we can reconstruct aspects of Tripolye behavior and health. For example, bioarchaeological analysis of cranial trauma in the Verteba Cave sample demonstrates that the Cucuteni-Tripolye experienced significant lethal violence. Twelve of the 21 crania have perimortem depression fractures. Furthermore, skeletal markers of stress suggest that the Cucuteni-Tripolye experienced a rather high level of physiological perturbations. Specifically, the population from Verteba Cave has significantly shorter long bone lengths and significantly more enamel hypoplasias than earlier Mesolithic and Neolithic populations from Ukraine. This suggests that aspects of the Cucuteni-Tripolye sedentary agricultural lifestyle exposed them to more stressors than were experienced by earlier hunters and foragers. |
