The effects of the industrial transition on lower limb bone structure: A comparison of the inhabitants of Pecos Pueblo and present‐day Indigenous peoples of New Mexico

Comparisons between Indigenous peoples over time and within a particular geographic region can shed light on the impact of environmental transitions on the skeleton, including relative bone strength, sexual dimorphism, and age-related changes. Here we compare long bone structural properties of the inhabitants of the late prehistoric-early historic Pecos Pueblo with those of present-day Indigenous individuals from New Mexico.
