Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that a bioarchaeological focus on health-related care provision can contribute to the currently limited understanding of social practice in Early Anglo-Saxon England (mid5th-early7th centuries AD).
METHODS: Published descriptions of pathology in 69 adult remains from the Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery of Worthy Park, southern England.
METHODS: Three case studies (one examining likely need for care at an individual level and two at a population level) were undertaken using the bioarchaeology of care approach.
RESULTS: Analyses indicate likely care provision (\'direct support\' and/or \'accommodation of difference\') to Worthy Park individuals experiencing temporary or permanent disability. Interpretation suggests community interdependence, cooperation, flexibility and tolerance of difference, as well as cultural and socioeconomic mechanisms for managing physical and social challenges of ageing.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides proof of concept that bioarchaeology of care analysis can offer new insights into social practice in this period.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that a bioarchaeological focus on caregiving behaviours in an Early Anglo-Saxon community extends modern thinking about social relations in post-Roman Britain, offering a model for future investigations into social practice in this, and potentially other, periods. More generally, it illustrates the richness of results achievable when combining bioarchaeological and historical research.
CONCLUSIONS: Reliance on secondary sources limited detail (and potentially accuracy) of interpretation possible.
UNASSIGNED: This study\'s approach should be further tested and refined, either through application to different Anglo-Saxon (or other historic) populations or in a more thorough analysis of the Worthy Park sample itself.

摘要：
目标：检验以下假设：生物考古学对健康相关护理的关注可以有助于对盎格鲁-撒克逊早期英格兰（公元5-7世纪早期）社会实践的有限理解。
方法：发表了来自沃西公园早期盎格鲁-撒克逊公墓的69具成人遗骸的病理学描述，英格兰南部。
方法：使用生物考古学的护理方法进行了三个案例研究（一个在个人水平上检查可能的护理需求，两个在人群水平上检查）。
结果：分析表明，可能会向出现暂时性或永久性残疾的WorthyPark个人提供护理（“直接支持”和/或“差异适应”）。解释表明社区相互依存，合作,灵活性和耐受性的差异，以及管理老龄化的身体和社会挑战的文化和社会经济机制。
结论：这项研究提供了概念证明，即护理分析的生物考古学可以为这一时期的社会实践提供新的见解。
结论：这项研究表明，早期盎格鲁-撒克逊社区对护理行为的生物考古学关注扩展了对后罗马英国社会关系的现代思考，为未来研究这方面的社会实践提供了一个模型，还有潜在的其他，期间。更一般地说,它说明了将生物考古学和历史研究结合起来可实现的丰富成果。
结论：对次要来源的依赖限制了解释的细节（和潜在的准确性）。
■这项研究的方法应该进一步测试和完善，通过应用于不同的盎格鲁-撒克逊（或其他历史）人群，或对沃西公园样本本身进行更彻底的分析。
