Abstract:Background: Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and porous cranial lesions such as cribra orbitalia (CO) and porotic hyperostosis (PH) are considered nonspecific indicators of early childhood metabolic stress.
Objectives: The study aims to describe the association of LEH with CO and PH in a sample of the Kirsten Skeletal Collection (KSC) rep- resenting a cohort in the Western Cape, South Africa. This will be used to determine if one or more of these lesions can be used as an indicator of adult mortality.
