The relationship between these stress indicators and the social status of each individual within the community, inferred from the type of burial, have been considered. A negative correlation between the stress indicators and the type of burial can be observed, not being statistically significant though. In this regard, the frequency of cribra and hypoplasia seems to be somewhat lower for the individuals buried in the more elaborated tombs. The use of these stress indicators for determining social status and the correlation between social status and archaeological information are discussed.6 p.application/pdfcat(c) Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya, 1993Indicadors biològicsNecròpolisIndicadors socialsArquitectura paleocristianaIndicators (Biology)NecropolesSocial indicatorsEarly Christian architectureinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article0869752020-06-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
