The results of paleopathological study of osteological material obtained during archaeological excavations of rural burial grounds of the 14th—16th centuries, located on the territory of Polotsk land. In total, 72 individuals from three cemeteries were examined (Ives, Biruli and Dolgoe). The purpose of the work is to identify and analyze pathologies and nonspecific reactions of the body, determined on bone material. The study identified the most typical for the rural population of the studied burial grounds pathology and trauma — degenerative changes of the spine and joints, skull injuries, abscesses, caries, periodontitis, non-specific reactions of the body (porotic hyperostosis, cribra orbitalia, enamel hypoplasia, vascular reactions).
