Abstract The purpose of this study is to further the understanding relationship between age and entheseal changes by using trends in living Americans compared skeletal remains modern Americans, applying knowledge bioarchaeological record. Documentation age, activity level, body mass index, stature, was combined with change scores gathered from upper extremity statistically test without controls documented demographic health factors. An active subsample constructed self‐reported repetitive activities discernment position within stated career. Fibrocartilaginous entheses reported literature be better suited estimate occupation were separated other entheses. A series Cochran–Mantel–Hanzel analysis variance‐based tests applied data. Interobserver reliability also examined a linear‐weighted Cohen's kappa. Statistical shows only 1 enthesis has significant positive 2 activity. Body index associated 9 that spread across occupation‐associated fibrocartilaginous all ranged low substantial agreement. error estimates suggest some are more reliable than others. Results provide little support for changes, which partially coincides previous research. increase our sample, around retirement, mirrors supports conclusions. For bioarchaeologists, these results interpretations should cautiously revolve size rather levels.

Abstract Objectives In anthropological sciences, entheses are widely utilized as occupational stress markers. However, the reaction of entheseal surfaces to mechanical loading is not well understood. Furthermore, previous studies on relied individuals' occupation‐at‐death. Past research by one us has identified two patterns among hand entheses, proposing that they reflect synergistic muscle groups. Here, we investigate association between these and habitual manual activity using an extensively documented skeletal sample a three‐dimensional system quantification. Materials Methods The bones belong 45 individuals from mid‐19th century Basel. These were male adults (18 48 years old) who directly related, showed no pathological conditions, whose activities during their lifetime clearly could be evaluated according historical sources. explored principal component analysis both raw size‐adjusted variables. influence age‐at‐death, body mass, bone length was assessed through correlation tests. Results previously proposed present in our sample. Individuals with same or comparable occupations presented similar patterns. results considerably affected overall size, length. Discussion involved intense labor distinctive pattern consistent application high grip force. By contrast, less strenuous and/or highly mechanized related thumb intrinsic muscles.

The origins of horseback riding remain elusive. Scientific studies show that horses were kept for their milk ~3500 to 3000 BCE, widely accepted as indicating domestication. However, this does not confirm them be ridden. Equipment used by early riders is rarely preserved, and the reliability equine dental mandibular pathologies remains contested. horsemanship has two interacting components: horse mount human rider. Alterations associated with in skeletons therefore possibly provide best source information. Here, we report five Yamnaya individuals well-dated 3021 2501 calibrated BCE from kurgans Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, displaying changes bone morphology distinct riding. These are oldest humans identified so far.

ABSTRACT Analyses of entheseal changes (EC) in identified skeletal samples employ a common research strategy based on the comparison between occupations grouped basis shared biomechanical and/or social characteristics. Results from this approach are often ambiguous, with some studies that point to differences EC occupational and others failing provide evidence behavioral effects EC. Here we investigate patterns among documented by means multivariate analysis robusticity scores nine postcranial entheses large ( N = 372) contemporary sample including specimens one Italian two Portuguese collections. Data robusticity, analyzed pooled sides as well separated levels asymmetry, converted binary then through nonlinear principal component hierarchical cluster analysis. these analyses used for classification occupations. Differences classes tested MANOVA pairwise Hotelling's test. three which separate related farming, physically demanding but generalized occupation, undemanding occupations, more consistent first last classes. Our results behavior included each class, physical specificity farming activities. On other hand, our study exemplifies usefulness alternative analytical protocols investigation EC, value designs devoid priori assumptions test biocultural hypotheses.

Contrary to common assumptions, Neandertal habitual behavior relied mainly on manual precision rather than brute grip force.

Abstract The current paper tests the effectiveness of entheseal changes in expressing activity patterns when former have been recorded using new Coimbra method. Changes on subscapularis and biceps brachii were method 78 men from documented Athens Collection. Generalised linear models adopted with as dependent variable cross‐sectional geometric properties, age body mass predictors. results suggest that is factor most frequently affecting changes; however, its impact not systematic found previous studies. Body rarely statistically significant, again contradicting earlier Finally, proxied by properties occasionally but no clear pattern emerges can associate specific morphological directions mechanical loading.

In the past decade there have been extensive discussions on potential utility of entheseal changes (EC) as activity markers. Nevertheless, no study to date has compared different EC recording protocols with respect their correlation patterns.This article records fibrocartilaginous entheses upper limbs 90 male skeletons from documented Athens Collection using Hawkey and Merbs (Int J Osteoarchaeol 5 (1995) 324-338), Mariotti et al. (Collegium Antropol 28 (2004) 145-159), Villotte (Am Phys Anthropol 142 (2010) 224-234) schemes in order determine which one exhibits highest activity. Activity is assessed by means recorded profession each individual, well employing cross-sectional geometric properties. Generalized Linear Models are used explore impact age, body mass, expression.Our results agree previous studies that age primary factor determining EC, whereas mass second most influential factor. contrast, form or geometry rarely showed a significant expression clear pattern could be discerned irrespective technique. However, bilateral differences were traced may relate patterns.The found highlight fact patterns individuals under examination must play an underlying role expression, though current for do not capture this, rendering further work direction developing more elaborate standards imperative.
