Urbanism and its Impact on Human Health

A long-term study at Knossos, Crete

Moles, Anna C.

Urbanism and its Impact on Human Health demonstrates how social, economic and political changes impacted the everyday lives of the people of Knossos, at the fundamental level of their health and diet, during the Hellenistic, Roman and Late Antique periods. Knossos, in north-central Crete, was an important site in Aegean and Mediterranean networks throughout this timespan, though the city experienced cycles of urban development and decline. As an extensively studied and well-documented site, it provides a unique opportunity to study long-term phenomena associated with its varied past.The present osteological and isotopic research is integrated with previous work on material culture and textual sources to provide a contextualised interpretation of the lifeways and social history of the people of Knossos.

Urbanism and its Impact on Human Health demuestra cómo los cambios sociales, económicos y políticos influyeron en la vida cotidiana de los habitantes de Cnosos, a nivel fundamental de su salud y dieta, durante los periodos helenístico, romano y tardoantiguo. Cnosos, en el centro-norte de Creta, fue un lugar importante en las redes egeas y mediterráneas a lo largo de este periodo, aunque la ciudad experimentó ciclos de desarrollo y declive urbano. La presente investigación osteológica e isotópica se integra con trabajos anteriores sobre cultura material y fuentes textuales para ofrecer una interpretación contextualizada de los modos de vida y la historia social de los habitantes de Cnosos.
