The Archaeology of Human Bones provides an up to date account of the analysis of human
skeletal remains from archaeological sites, introducing students to the anatomy of bones …

Akin to approaches encouraged by Verano (1997) in the Andes, and Ortner (2011, 2012) for
general paleopathological studies, this article focuses on accurate descriptions and …

Despite our instinctive understanding of the importance of “identity,” archaeologists and
bioarchaeologists continue to struggle to rigorously investigate this complex phenomenon …

The mid-Holocene hunter–gatherer populations of the Cis-Baikal represent long-term
occupation by the Early Neolithic Kitoi Culture (6800–4900 BC) and the Middle Neolithic …

Objectives We investigated the relationship between loading history and bone
biomechanical properties used in physical activity reconstructions. These bone properties …

Objectives Daily activities involve biomechanical strains acting on skeletal structures. This
study identifies differences in activity patterns between males and females, and between …

Stable isotope analysis of archaeological human remains is routinely applied to explore
dietary habits and mobility patterns. The isotope information pertaining to the period prior to …

Objectives Diaphyseal robusticity and cross‐sectional shapes of the bone tissues are
influenced by mechanical loading history. It changes according to work demand on the …

Bulk δ 15 N and δ 13 C values of proteinaceous tissues are being increasingly used in
bioarchaeological studies to elucidate the physio-pathological status of ancient individuals …

Objective This study aims to analyze patterns of entheseal changes to infer activity patterns
