ABSTRACT
This paper identifies the presence and etiology of maxillary sinusitis in archaeological populationsfrom protohistoric (1500 B.C.) and medieval (around 17th century) India. 339 human skeleton remains found atthe archaeological sites of Chalcolithic Nevasa (1500~600 B.C.), Inamgaon (1000~700 B.C.), Balathal (2000B.C.), Megalithic Kodumanal (400 B.C.~100 A.D.), Early Historic Navdatoli (200 B.C.), Kodumanal (100~300A.D.) and Jotsoma (17th c A.D.) were studied. Macroscopic physical examination revealed that 9 individuals outof 74 observable individuals (12.16%) suffered from inflammation. Of this, 6 were male while 3 were female.
Considering the ethnographic aspects, the study reveals that inflammation possibly caused by inhaling pollutedair for a long duration or because of dental disease. Also, apart from pollution in domestic zones, external pollutionbecause of vocation is also discussed in this study using relevant ethnographic parallels.
