Pathological findings from early Iron Age inhumation burials from three cemeteries of the Hallstatt Period (Beilngries, Dietfurt and Schirndorf) in the Upper Palatinate (Bavaria) were compiled. Particular stress was laid upon possible conclusions concerning environmental conditions. The infrequency of cribra orbitalia demonstrates that the studied groups did not suffer from a deficiency of iron. The uncommon fractures of the extremity bones and lesions of the skull give at present the image of a peaceful era during the Hallstatt period in the Upper Palatinate. Caries could be ascertained by 5.4% of the adults from Dietfurt, by 4.9% of those from Schirndorf. In the Dürrnberg the percentage of such cases was lower (2.2%). This can be explained on the one side by the earlier death-rate climax on the Dürrnberg and on the other by differing nutritional habits. The teeth of the adult population from Dietfurt show enamel hypoplasia in only 14.9% of all cases. This low percentage gives cause to suppose that sufficient Vitamin A, C and D were present in the nutrition of the studied populations.
