“…Fast and efficient immobilisation and pressure application would have been critical in order to mitigate blood loss, muscular and tissue damage from the fractured diaphysis and fatal shock (Clarke et al, ; Heaney & Santy‐Tomlinson, ; Koval & Zuckerman, ). This would have required relatively sophisticated knowledge of fracture complication mitigation strategies.…”

A case of disability in the Metal Period of the Philippines, likely requiring healthcare from others, is presented to explore aspects of group dynamics in this period of antiquity. B243, a middle-aged man excavated from the Napa site in the central Philippines, suffered severe trauma to the right leg resulting in considerable restrictions to mobility and self-maintenance of survival-related behaviours such as food provision and hygiene. It is likely that B243 required assistance from others to survive for some period of time prior to eventual death. The bioarchaeology of care method was applied to assess the types of healthcare that B243 likely required and to consider potential social and biological impacts to both B243 and his community. Provision of healthcare practice in this case suggests that B243's community had access to health-related resources, knowledge on the treatment of his injuries and underlying values in the group for sustaining human life in the case of injury and disability.
