Aspects of degenerative and traumatic pathology were studied in a skeletal series of Hudson Bay Inuit recovered from the site of Tunirmiut at Native Point, Southampton Island, Northwest Territories in 1955 and 1959. From these studies of the Sadlermiut, a people who became extinct during the winter of 1902-03, twenty activity patterns which had the potential of leaving a permanent imprint on the skeleton were identified─some of these common to humanity in general, some characteristic of all Inuit, and some unique to the Sadlermiut.

An anthropological analysis of activity-induced skeletal pathology in the Sadlermuit Eskimo population. The author analyzes osteoarthritis and osteophytosis, compression fractures, spondylolysis, and tooth loss. He discusses the importance of identifying these features on the skeleton to interpret activities of past populations. The focus is on the upper extremities and the vertebral column with minimal mention of the lower limbs. -- from goodreads.com.

The core subject matter of bioarchaeology is the lives of past peoples, interpreted anthropologically. Human remains, contextualized archaeologically and historically, form the unit of study. Integrative and frequently inter-disciplinary, bioarchaeology draws methods and theoretical perspectives from across the sciences and the humanities. Bioarchaeology: The Contextual Study of Human Remains focuses upon the contemporary practice of bioarchaeology in North American contexts, its accomplishments and challenges. Appendixes, a glossary and 150 page bibliography make the volume extremely useful for research and teaching.
