Bone biology.
Cross-sectional geometries.
Entheseal changes.
Osteoarthritis.
Stress fractures.
Activity indicator facets.
Conclusions.
In this textbook designed for upper level physical anthropology/forensic anthropology courses, Weiss explains the complex relationship between biology and activity. While activity markers sometimes show aspects of lifestyle, social change, and daily prehistoric life, this text will help future researchers to be more critical of their social reconstructions by using the same comparisons of biology versus environment that are found in social anthropology courses.
