Resumen

A collection of human remains, from the Argaric Culturesites, was studied to broaden knowledge about the physicalactivity carried out by those populations. Three types ofactivity markers were analyzed: osteoarthritis, musculos-keletal stress markers and traumatisms. The obtained resul-ts coincide with the environment and terrain in which the ar-chaeological sites were found, demonstrating a remarkabledifference between sexes. Although it is impossible to deter-mine the profession of the studied individuals, it can be affir-med that the men would perform activities that requiredmuscular strength, walking through rugged and steepedterrain in which they risked suffering further trauma. Thewomen, however, carried out activities centred around thedomestic environment.
