Marcas de uma vida: uma visão arqueológica sobre os marcadores de estresse ocupacional nos remanescentes ósseos humanos

Abstract

Markers of occupational stress were well defined because they are certain brands that are beaded in the skeletal system, as effect of some biomechanical stress that the individual suffered and/or requested in order to succeed in life some physical activity. They were as small changes in bone robusticity, bone fractures, even great dental wear. This present study aimed to show this markers, since their perception of biological standpoint, where bone shows a large register of physical activities until their early adoption in archaeological research, debates and discussions surrounding the ways of study these markers, and actual, results and conclusions that this type of research can benefit within the archaeological context addressed.
