Resumen de THE PORTERS OF UR
A reappraisal of skeletal remains from Ur excavated in the last century has revealed some exceptional morphologies of shape robusticity or muscle development. It is proposed that these changes result from intensive performance of restricted activities from early age, since it is mainly whilst the skeleton is still growing that the bones can be so modeled by forces imposed upon them. From an analysis of the bone can be so modeled by activities are suggested. The existence of contemporary illustration made this much more rewarding. It seems that many had carried great loads by various means, during their lives. The presence of such tasks in a population implies a role specialization that amounts to child labour, even slavery
