It means you did something to your raws in your save file. Since you don't know what you deleted you should delete the file and start a new one. Just to be safe you should probably re-download DF again.

Redownload DF and try again. Your save may have become corrupted, which is possible without modding :/

You could always try copying the game default raws from the raw folder into the data/save/regionwhatever folder for your save.  If just the raws are corrupted, that could fix it.

As for what could have caused it, did you have a crash while the game was being saved?  That can corrupt the world.

If you're really concerned about losing a game to corruption, turn on seasonal autobackups, so at most you'll lose the last season of progress if a save is corrupted.
