This thesis explores preservation of pathological lesions in primary cremations from the Archaic Period (ca. 750-480 BCE), archaeological site of Phaleron, Greece. The main research questions include: 1) How can paleopathological analysis be modified to study cremated remains? 2) What areas of the body are well preserved and more reflective of pathologies after thermal alternation? 3) Which pathologies are observable after thermal alteration? I conducted standard data collection on a subset sample of the cremations at Phaleron, creating the biological profile including inventory and estimation of sex/age modified for cremated human skeletal remains. Pathological data was recorded both macro and microscopically. Elements that were thick, dense, and/or encased in flesh were amongst the most well-preserved elements. Preservation of the skeletal elements allowed for the observation of pathologies consistent with non-specific stress, occupational stress, and osteoarthritis in areas of the body spared by fire. One or more pathological lesions were identified in 71.1% of individuals. Moreover, the identification of pathological lesions was more dependent upon fragment size of elements as opposed to higher frequency of fragments. This project emphasizes the importance of a standardized, meticulous approach to studying cremated human skeletal remains.
