Differences between estimated dental and skeletal ages can provide a gauge of an individual’s growth status, which more broadly reflects an individual’s health status. This case study provides a summary of the skeletal growth status in a dentally aged 2.0–2.5-year-old (Burial 519) victim of chronic physical abuse from the Kellis 2 cemetery (cal AD 100–450), Egypt. Absolute size of postcranial elements in Burial 519 is generally more similar to a dentally aged 1.5–1.9-year-old cohort than to an age-matched cohort. Growth deficits are least in the skull and greatest in the leg supporting previous studies demonstrating that these regions may be less sensitive and more sensitive, respectively, to environmental stressors. Within the postcranial skeleton, growth deficits are least in the clavicle which may have methodological implications for the skeletal ageing of children. This case study provides an opportunity to examine broader biocultural sources of adversity on skeletal growth in early life.
