The study of mechanical stress in present and past societies: An approach from bone morphology and entheseal changes
The inference of activities in past societies is one of the great challenges of bioarchaeology. Since the beginning of the 20th century, interpretations of mechanical stress have been based on bone morphological traits. However, despite theoretical and methodological advances in their approach, thei...

I28-R145-10738_oai2025-11-17 Mazza, Barbara 2022-05-19 The inference of activities in past societies is one of the great challenges of bioarchaeology. Since the beginning of the 20th century, interpretations of mechanical stress have been based on bone morphological traits. However, despite theoretical and methodological advances in their approach, their inferences have not been free of criticism. This paper aims to review the theoretical and methodological approaches to infer past activities from general bone morphology and entheseal changes in particular. This review is focused on medical and biological contributions to bioarchaeological studies, the changes in the approach to the subject, their criticisms and solutions. La inferencia de actividades en sociedades pasadas es uno de los grandes desafíos de la bioarqueología. Desde comienzos del siglo XX se han realizado interpretaciones sobre el estrés mecánico a partir de rasgos morfológicos óseos. No obstante, y a pesar de los avances teóricos y metodológicos en su acercamiento, sus inferencias no han estado exentas de críticas. El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer una revisión de los acercamientos teóricos y metodológicos para inferir actividades en el pasado a partir de la morfología ósea en general y de los cambios entésicos en particular. Se revisan los aportes de la medicina y la biología a los estudios bioarqueológicos, los cambios en la forma de aproximarse a la temática, sus críticas y soluciones. A inferência das atividades nas sociedades do passado é um dos grandes desafios da bioarqueologia. Desde o início do século 20, as interpretações do estresse mecânico têm sido feitas com base em características morfológicas ósseas. No entanto, apesar dos avanços teóricos e metodológicos em sua abordagem, suas inferências não têm estado livres de críticas. O objetivo deste trabalho é rever as abordagens teóricas e metodológicas para inferir atividades passadas a partir da morfologia óssea em geral e de alterações das enteses em particular. As contribuições da medicina e da biologia para os estudos bioarqueológicos, as mudanças na abordagem do assunto, suas críticas e soluções são revistas. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/10738 10.34096/runa.v43i2.10738 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/10738/10252 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/10738/10380 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2022): Dossier: Biological Anthropology; 13-34 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 43 Núm. 2 (2022): Dossier: Antropología Biológica; 13-34 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 43 n. 2 (2022): Dossiê: Antropologia Biológica; 13-34 1851-9628 0325-1217 Mechanical Stress; Entheseal Changes; Archaeology; Activities; Interdisciplinarity.

| description |
The inference of activities in past societies is one of the great challenges of bioarchaeology. Since the beginning of the 20th century, interpretations of mechanical stress have been based on bone morphological traits. However, despite theoretical and methodological advances in their approach, their inferences have not been free of criticism. This paper aims to review the theoretical and methodological approaches to infer past activities from general bone morphology and entheseal changes in particular. This review is focused on medical and biological contributions to bioarchaeological studies, the changes in the approach to the subject, their criticisms and solutions. |
