- Resum
- This article investigates emotions and attitudes towards individuals with disabilities in medieval Culmen, Poland (tenth to thirteenth century). The study expands methodological and theoretical insights with regard to the archaeological and historical intersections of disability and emotions by using the bioarchaeology of care and osteobiography, osteological analysis, the archaeological record and textual evidence. Out of 661 skeletons, eight display lesions that were markers of disabilities. Care was presumably shown towards disabled individuals, as they survived to the advanced stage of their diseases. Six individuals were properly commemorated after death, while two received atypical burials. Chronicles and hagiographies highlight both positive and negative societal reactions toward persons with disabilities, including care and rejection. This article is part of a special issue, ‘Medieval Histories of Disability and Emotion.'
