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
 
  a. plagued by malnutrition and severe disease, with abundant evidence of hypoplasias and other pathologies
  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.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Did you know?

Though the United States has largely rejected the metric system, it is used for currency, as in 100 pennies = 1 dollar. Previously, the British currency system was used, with measurements such as 12 pence to the shilling, and 20 shillings to the pound.

Did you know?

HIV testing reach is still limited. An estimated 40% of people with HIV (more than 14 million) remain undiagnosed and do not know their infection status.

Did you know?

More than 30% of American adults, and about 12% of children utilize health care approaches that were developed outside of conventional medicine.
