This work presents the first approach to the study of entheseal changes in human remains from northeastern Patagonia. Taking into account that two of the most widely used registration methods are based on different assumptions, “Hawkey and Merbs” and “Coimbra”, it is proposed to compare and discuss the results obtained by the application of both and the application of a new measure of quantification. With this purpose, a sample composed by upper and lower human limb bones from the middle Negro KEYWORDS entheseal changes; activity markers; Hawkey and Merbs method; Coimbra method river valley were analyzed. The intraobserver error was estimated, and the data analysis was based on two quantification measures: the presence of at least one change, and the affectation index. The comparison between methods shows different trends. Although Hawkey and Merbs does not show tendency of affectation, the Coimbra
method is consistent and indicates a greater commitment of the lower extremity.
