Musculo-Skeletal Stress Markers in Bioarchaeology: Indicators of Activity Levels or Human Variation? A re-analysis and Interpretation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Musculoskeletal stress markers (MSM) have been widely used by bio-archaeologists as indicators of physical activity. These markers occur at the sites of attachment of soft tissue to bone. They are anomalies of bone formation or destruction at these sites
