Paleopathology and ancient diseases

The fluorine dating method was applied to the human bones found at the Nekata site, Hamakita city, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The bones, divided geologically into two groups, A and B, were compared with the pilot series consisting of two groups of animal bones A and B, excavated from different layers of the same site. From the result of analysis (Table VI-1) it was concluded that animal bone A was quite significantly newer than B, and human bone B was of almost the same geological age as animal B, and human bone A was rather close to animal A.The fluorine content of the Hamakita bones was compared with that of the bones from neighbouring sites (TANABE, 1962), (Fig. VI-1).
