Diagnosis of occupational ly related paleopathology • 47 



With regard to the Mary Rose, a research program has been 

 undertaken which will implement such group studies. Other 

 large medieval groups from southern England will be com- 

 pared with that sample and the differences will be evaluated. 

 Perhaps then it will be possible to say with more confidence 

 that, all else being equal, the sample from the Mary Rose is 

 different and these differences are due to the occupations 

 followed by the crew.

Summary of audience discussion: Discussion quickly made it 

 clear that the audience was divided on the question of whether the 

 lesions demonstrated as osteochondritis dissecans were of meta- 

 bolic, traumatic, or even developmental nature. Several felt they 

 had seen similar lesions under circumstances making it reasonable 

 to relate them to occupations resulting from prolonged and repeti- 

 tive minor trauma such as a recent (19th century) military, young 

 adult group under heavy stress. By law Renaissance youths initiated 

 longbow training (which placed a 3(X)-pound pressure on each 

 shoulder) at age of six years. It is conceivable that application of 

 such stress to a growing bone may induce lesions to which a mature 

 bone would be resistant. All agreed an investigational, radi- 

 ologically based study on modern individuals with known, selected 

 occupations could make a major contribution to the identification of 

 osteologic lesions useful for prediction of handedness and occupa- 

 tions.
