This dossier gathers the works presented in the symposium that had the same name, and was coordinated by us, in the framework of the XIV Congress of the Latin American Association of Biological Anthropology (ALAB) during October 18-21, 2016 in the city of Tacuarembó, Uruguay. Six papers were presented in which different methods were discussed and applied both for the survey and for the statistical analysis of bone markers that can provide information about levels of physical activity along with their social, cultural and adaptive implications. The results obtained were presented and their scope and limitations were discussed, taking as case studies archaeological populations of Chile and Argentina and contemporary Portugal.
