Summary/Abstract: Anemia is one of the important areas of interest in paleopathology, which is a branch of science that examines the diseases that people have been exposed to in ancient times through bones. Anemia is called anemia and is seen in people who cannot or cannot contain enough iron in their metabolism. Anemia is a health problem that is frequently researched, especially in nutritional studies. Cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis and diploe occur in the skulls of ancient people. The skeletons of the ancient city of Spradon, which was the subject of this study, were discovered in 2011 by the Istanbul Archaeological Museums Directorate in the Ispartakule district in the Avcılar District of Istanbul. Cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis and diploe thickening were examined in both sexes and age groups.
