There’s plenty of material in the literature about musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the archaeological record. What there is very little of however - perhaps surprisingly - is material specific to archaeologists who themselves have MSDs. This is quite some oversight, given that MSDs are not uncommon in archaeologists who have spent part of their careers digging, and that there are serious career implications for archaeologists having any kind of physical disability of illness, whether it be participation in digging, field-walking, driving, running a fieldwork camp & kitchen, and all kinds of dexterous work.
