La Huella Eterna del Esfuerzo. Los Marcadores Óseos de Actividad Física en la Población Calcolítica del Dolmen del Cortijo de los Vínculos

A biomechanical analysis of human remains from the Dolmen del Cortijo de los Vínculos-I, part of the UNESCO-listed Antequera Dolmens Site, reveals that the Calcolithic population engaged in physically demanding activities, including lifting heavy objects, walking, and crouching. These findings suggest a society deeply embedded in agriculture, livestock management, hunting, and residential mobility. The study employed osteometry, enthesial grading systems, and paleopathological assessments of vertebral stress to uncover these patterns, offering new insights into daily life during this period.
