Entheseal changes in Portugal: a diachronic study applying the new Coimbra Method

The aim of this work is to study the changes in entheseal change frequency through time in Portugal in order to evaluate the effect of increased urbanisation and the specificity of labour tasks, by applying a biologically appropriate recording method, the new Coimbra method (Henderson et al. 2016a)....

The analyzed sample included 138 adult individuals from eight archaeological sites from Portugal, dating from medieval and modern times. Prevalences and odds ratios were calculated, and a Fisher exact test was performed for the entheseal changes that were recorded in eleven entheses from upper and lower limbs. Results suggest that activity is one explanatory factor for the entheseal changes, but others should we considered, since different age and sex profiles also contribute to the different trends. Moreover, different sample sizes in each subgroup also contribute to high frequencies of some changes. However, this approach is vital to understand temporal trends in entheseal changes. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las variaciones en la frecuencia de cambios entesiales a través del tiempo en Portugal para evaluar el efecto del aumento de la urbanización y la especialización laboral, aplicando un método de registro biológicamente apropiado, el llamado nuevo método Coimbra (Henderson et al. 2016a). La muestra analizada está compuesta por 138 individuos adultos provenientes de ocho sitios arqueológicos del actual territorio de Portugal, y con cronologías medievales y modernas. Se realizaron cálculos de prevalencias y de odds ratios, así como un test exacto de Fisher para los cambios registrados en once entesis de miembros superiores e inferiores. Los resultados sugieren que la actividad es un factor explicativo de los cambios entesiales registrados, pero que asimismo se deben considerar otros factores, ya que los diferentes perfiles de sexo y edad también contribuyen a las distintas tendencias. Además, el tamaño variable de las muestras de cada subgrupo también aporta a las altas frecuencias de algunos cambios. Sin embargo, este enfoque es fundamental para entender las tendencias temporales de los cambios entesiales. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
