Stress, sex, and plague: Patterns of developmental stress and survival in pre and post Black Death London
Previous research revealed declines in survivorship in London before the Black Death (c. 1346 1353) and improvements in survivorship following the epidemic. These trends indicate that there were declines in general levels of health before the Black Death and improvements thereof afterwards. This study expands on previous research by examining whether changes in survivorship were consistent between the sexes, and how patterns of developmental stress markers changed before and after the Black Death.
