56 skeletal remains were recovered from the salvage excavations carried out by the Amasya Museum Directorate between 1992-2012 at the archaeological sites dated to Roman Period in Amasya province and its surroundings. 2 (3,57%) of the individuals were defined as babies, 11 (19,64%) were children, 15 (26,79%) were female and 13 (23,21%) were male. The sex determination of the remaining 15 individuals (26,79%) could not be made because there was not enough criteria for sex determination. As a result of the paleopathological analysis of skeletal remains, lesions such as trauma (fracture), osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, rhomboid fossa, osteophyte and schmorl nodule were found in these individuals. In this study, the health structure of the people who lived in and around Amasya during the Roman Period was evaluated.
1992-2012 yılları arasında Amasya Müze Müdürlüğü başkanlığında Amasya İli ve çevresinde Roma Dönemi ile tarihlendirilen arkeolojik alanlarda yapılan kurtarma kazıları neticesinde, toplam 56 bireye ait iskelet kalıntıları ele geçirilmiştir. Bireylerin 2’si (%3,57) bebek, 11’i (%19,64) çocuk, 15’i (%26,79) kadın, 13’ü (% 23,21) erkek olarak tanımlanmış ve 15 bireyde (%26,79) yeterli cinsiyet kriteri bulunamadığı için cinsiyetleri belirlenememiştir. Bireylere ait iskelet kalıntılarının paleopatolojik analizleri sonucunda, bu bireylerde travma (kırık), osteoartrit, ankilozan spondilit, rhomboid fossa, osteofit ve schmorl nodülü gibi lezyonlara rastlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Roma Dönemi’nde Amasya İli ve çevresinde yaşamış bu insanların sağlık yapısına ilişkin değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
