Excerpt from Orthopedic Problems of the Wetherill Mesa Populations: Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado This study of human skeletal remains from archeological excavations on Wetherill Mesa, Mesa Verde National Park, was performed as an adjunct to the usual anthropological studies. The objective was to engage the services of a clinical orthopedist to identify the disease processes demonstrated by these bones and skeletons, primarily in hopes that such an evaluation would define more clearly the life, habits, and problems of the Indians who once inhabited the area.

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.

Comparing simulations from agent-based models with the precisely dated archaeological record from this area, this text will interest archaeologists working in the Southwest and in Neolithic studies as well as anyone applying modeling techniques to understanding how human societies shapes, and are shaped by the environment.
