Roman Well Burial Bioarchaeology & Trauma Forensics Workbench

Stratigraphic Well Shaft (14.5m) 43 Skeletons

Select a depth layer or individual skeleton to inspect taphonomic articulation and trauma etiology.

Taphonomic Articulation Index

86.4%

High anatomical articulation = Rapid deposition

Specimen Bio-Profile: #12 (Layer III) Zero Perimortem Trauma

Paleodemographic Age Curve vs. Epidemic Profile

Counterfactual Etiology Simulator Live Bayesian Likelihood

Simulated Perimortem Weapon Slash/Penetrations: 0 skeletons

Demographic Military Bias (Young Adult Males %): 32.5% (Natural Mixed)

Anatomical Disarticulation / Scavenging %: 13.6% (Fast Burial)

Etiology Differential Epidemic Crisis

Catastrophic Epidemic (Plague) 94.8%

Absence of combat injuries, mixed male/female/child demography, rapid deposition in shaft.

Military Battle Casualty Pit 3.1%

Requires high perimortem sharp/blunt trauma (>40%) and male warrior age demography.

Sequential Attritional Discard 2.1%

Requires long deposition interval, high scavenging marks, and slow bone disarticulation.
