American Journal of Physical Anthropology, April 2002 v117 i4 p91(1)
The paleoepidemiology of celiac disease: osteological evidence from
prehistoric Europe. L. Johnson-Kelly.
Important point made in the abstract: "the skeletal pathologies associated
with celiac disease achieve peak frequency not in the Neolithic, when
grain-based agriculture was first introduced, but much later, during the
Middle Ages, when access to nongrain foodstuffs was severely reduced."

"The tumult and the shouting dies/The captains and the kings depart
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice/An humble and a contrite heart."
-- Rudyard Kipling, Recessional
