Bioarchaeology's Holy Grail: The Reconstruction of Activity
TL;DR: Most contributors to this volume focus on pathological conditions as identified in human remains, and some of the bone changes seen in osteoarthritis that have routinely been used to reconstruct activity are also sometimes pathological.
Journal ArticleDOI
In search of consensus: Terminology for entheseal changes (EC).
Sébastien Villotte,Sandra Assis,Francisca Alves Cardoso,Charlotte Henderson,Valentina Mariotti,Marco Milella,Doris Pany-Kucera,Nivien Speith,Cynthia A. Wilczak,Robert Jurmain +9 more
TL;DR: Use of a standard, neutral terminology to describe entheseal morphology will reduce misunderstandings between researchers, improve the reliability of comparisons between studies, and eliminate unwarranted etiological assumptions inherent in some of the descriptive terms presently used in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the relationship between entheseal changes and physical activity: A multivariate study
TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate analysis of robusticity scores in nine postcranial entheses from a large contemporary skeletal sample including specimens from one Italian and two Portuguese identified collections was performed.
Dissertation
A portrait of gender in two 19th and 20th century Portuguese populations : a palaeopathological perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorization of Occupation in Documented Skeletal Collections: Its Relevance for the Interpretation of Activity‐Related Osseous Changes
TL;DR: The results revealed an ambiguous historical interpretation of occupation, and a marked influence of the researcher's perspective on the criteria used to classify occupations, which highlighted the steps needed to build a classification system permitting future comparisons between collections of different chronological and geographical contexts.
