| dc.description.abstract | Anatolia has been settled by numerous civilizations and many excavations uncover the traces of these civilizations. Excavation is a hard labor and some part of this hard work are performed by anthropologists, archaeologists and art historians. This can affect the skeletal systems of the workers after a long period of labor in excavations. In order to see wheteher physical activity has an effect, a survey was designed. The aim of the study is to reveal the most common skeletal system problems and their reasons in these professionals. A 20-questions-survey was applied to 303 academicians and museum staff who actively attend archaeological and paleontological excavations. The Google Forms application was used to apply the survey and its automatic statistic program yields the descriptive statistics for the research. The results reveal that working in excavation conditions cause effective skeletal system problems, especially in vertebral bones. 208 of 303 participants declare vertebra related problems, whereas 71 of them were diagnosed with herniated disc. These problems are seen in the later ages in the field work and therefore can be related with excavation conditions. Working in relatively short excavation periods and with a low budget, anthropologists, archaeologists and art historians have to overwork in little time. This is the major cause of working in unsuitable body postures. Nevertheless, a new strategy of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism plans to extend the excavations for the whole year with more professional workers to provide a chance to reduce skeletal system problems in anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians. | tr_TR |
