Looks like it was a mistake on the part of the Science Daily staff as the USC study it's based on is titled "Atherosclerosis across 4000 years of human history: the Horus study of four ancient populations." No mention, of course, of hunter gatherer in the title.
I am going to see if I can find out a way to contact Science Daily to get them to correct.
