Perspectives

I'm interested in the cause of entheseal changes, by better understanding their aetiology, methods can be developed which are good descriptors for the social division of labour. Understanding this and occupation-related injury in the past can tell us a lot about social structure including ideas about gender. This paper points to some entheseal changes possibly capturing an activity-effect which is not captured by cross-sectional geometry, or by traditional occupation categories.
