Bioarchaeological analysis of the skeletal remains from the African Burial Ground site determined that unlike the slaves' lives in New York, their lives in Africa were

  b. relatively free of malnutrition and severe disease, with little evidence of hypoplasias or other pathologies.
  c. characterized by extremely hard physical labor, as indicated by enlarged muscle attachments and lesions from torn muscles.
  d. characterized by extreme violence and warfare, as indicated by the presence of abundant healed and unhealed skeletal fractures.
  e. not free of malnutrition and severe disease.

Question 2

Bioarchaeological analysis of the burials from the African Burial Ground site in New York City showed that
 
  a. nearly all of the burials were individuals > 55 years old; the earliest slaves were therefore treated better than archaeologists had assumed based on the known treatment of later slaves.
  b. half of the population died before reaching the age of 12, with another peak in mortality between the ages of 15 and 20
  c. the population had suffered from extreme malnutrition and rampant disease, but they were not forced to work very hard.
  d. the skeletal remains were too poorly reserved to determine anything about demographic structure or pathology of the burial population.
  e. enslaved Africans made up less than 1 of New Amsterdam's total population.
