چکیده
Our knowledge of the social and economic development of past societies and the people within them can be increased through an understanding of specialized activities. If an activity was time-consuming or arduous, especially when begun at an early age and the bones still growing, the bone morphology can be modifi ed and techniques of production used in the past are recorded. Th e predisposing requirements for bone morphology to be distinctively modifi ed are a restricted series of movements that are energetic and carried out for long periods probably on a daily basis and from a young age. Interpretation of an activity depends on the objective reconstruction of the biomechanical anatomy of the signs imprinted on the bones leading to a probability based on a diff erential diagnosis of the possibilities, in much the same way that a clinician evaluates a patient’s signs and symptoms. Th e signifi cant morphology is that which diff ers from the normal range for the population being studied.
