AB - Leprosy is an important topic in the research field of bioanthropology and paleopathology. In this study, by reviewing historical documents, we are to investigate the life and death of leprosy patients during Joseon period. In historical records of Korea, though many leprosy patients suffered from being casted out of the Joseon society, some lucky patients spent the rest of life at home, fully supported by their family and relatives. Although these cases might not represent the entire leprosy patient, when they died, the family buried them politely according to the Confucian ritual commonly practiced at the time. Actually, very few leprosy cases in Korean history have been reported from anthropological studies so far. The present review shows that the discovery of leprosy patients from ancient human skeletons in Korea is not entirely hopeless.
